1) Message boards : Number crunching : Claimed credit from 2007 still pending ... (Message 35184) Posted 6 Oct 2008 by dentaku Post: On my \"pending credit\" list, there are still 3,780.70 points pending from work unit 6115760 / ResultID 7074566: ----------------- Result ID Workunit ID Host ID Claimed credit 7074566 6115760 471638 3,780.70 Pending credit: 3,780.70 ---------------- but this work unit generates credit that I see in my BOINC (i.e. credit increases slowly). What does this mean?
2) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : 64 bit processor (Message 31477) Posted 25 Nov 2007 by dentaku Post: On the applications site (http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/apps.php), there is a Linux running on an AMD x86_64 or Intel EM64T CPU But when I refresh my climateprediction.net project it just says \"got 0 new tasks\". My config: 64 Bit Ubuntu 7.10 Linux with 64 Bit BOINC 5.10.28.
3) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : 64 bit processor (Message 31104) Posted 24 Oct 2007 by dentaku Post: I think it\'s time for a reminder in the News thread about the deadline not applying to CPDN. It\'s a pity that this boinc message can\'t be eliminated for CPDN models. Well, why don\'t you write this information as a message that is displayed in the \"Messages\" tab? E.g. all characters CAPITALIZED: BOINC DEADLINE DOES NOT APPLY TO THIS PROJECT!!! :-) 1963 hours to go ... (waiting for Phenom to tripple performance ...)
4) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : 64 bit processor (Message 31059) Posted 22 Oct 2007 by dentaku Post: Another person who hasn\'t read the hundreds of posts saying that THERE IS NO DEADLINE ON CLIMATE MODELS. Anyone who can\'t finish a model in a year is just not trying. Taking several years to complete a model runs the risk of the data being obsolete. Well, BOINC manager shows a deadline for the climate task: 18.03.2008.And 1968 hours to go. That roughly means, I need to calculate climate 12 hours a day. But I don\'t have my computer on all days and not for 12 hours. So what happens at 18.03.2008 .... ????
5) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : 64 bit processor (Message 31056) Posted 21 Oct 2007 by dentaku Post: Easy: because this task was due within a few days and it still had more than 1000 hours to complete. So I aborted this task as it would fail anyway. As this \"x86_64-pc-linux-gnu not found\" still occured, the aborted tasks still hung in my boinc and didn\'t got send back. But the surprise is: at 17th October, suddenly the aborted task vanished! And I got credit for the last work. It seems , that the server now is fixed to accept results from 64 bit clients! :-) Then I can continue running my last climate task. 1969 hours to go ... :-/
6) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : platform \"x86_64-pc-linux-gnu\" not found (Message 30968) Posted 15 Oct 2007 by dentaku Post: Perhaps thousands of people with 64 bit computers, but 10\'s of millions of people with 32 bit hardware/software. And this is what this project is aimed at: the biggest computer resource. Your statistics is faulty: who are the people running BOINC? Who are the users participating in such long distance WUs like CPDN? The millions of 32 bit computer users? Most of them don\'t know of BOINC and/or don\'t want to waste their computer\'s CPU for such things. Look at your project\'s best users with the most credit. Those users do the most work and those enthusiasts are the people with the latest hardware and 64 bit. And many of them are converting to 64 bit OSes now. So, you\'re cutting off your best contributors for this project ... just take a look at SETI@home and other 32 bit only applications how they solved this issue.
7) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : 64 bit processor (Message 30967) Posted 15 Oct 2007 by dentaku Post: As I stay with my opinion, that it wouldn\'t be probably a problem to offer CPDN for the 64 Bit BOINC users (as other 32 bit projects already do without special 64 Bit versions of their applications ...), I understand that the project maintainers don\'t have time for this. For this reason, I quit CPDN and continue projects that run with 64 Bit BOINC (no matter if 64 or 32 bit client applications ... like SETI@home).
8) Message boards : Number crunching : 64 Bit Version: when will it arrive? (Message 30933) Posted 10 Oct 2007 by dentaku Post: I also run ABC@home that has 64 bit apps. For a list of projects that have native 64 bit clients and send 32 bit clients to 64 bit BOINCs, see: http://boincstats.com/forum/forum_thread.php?id=1774
9) Message boards : Number crunching : 64 Bit Version: when will it arrive? (Message 30859) Posted 7 Oct 2007 by dentaku Post: I upgraded my BOINC projects to 64 Bit and all other 5 projects continue working except climateprediction: Message from server: platform \'x86_64-pc-linux-gnu\' not found As I read and other BOINC forums, the reason is that climate prediction still doesn\'t offer a 64 Bit version and does not send 32 bit clients to 64 bit BOINCs (as many other projects do). Onew finished workunit now hangs for several weeks (\'Ready to report\'), but never gets reported because of this error. I can continue crunching the existing work units but I suspended them as sending results to server doesn\'t work. Is there a sparkle on the horizon when climate prediction will support 64 bit clients?
10) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : platform \"x86_64-pc-linux-gnu\" not found (Message 29550) Posted 15 Jul 2007 by dentaku Post: I have read the whole thread. I don\'t ask if 64 bit will be supported somewhen - I want to know if the work I crunched is lost or if it will get credited when the 64 bit version arrives. If it\'s lost, I cancel my 2 climate prediction tasks.
11) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : 64 bit processor (Message 29548) Posted 15 Jul 2007 by dentaku Post: It\'s just a shame they didn\'t wrote BOINC in Java and the projects too. Our server Java applications run considerably faster on 64 bit without changing the code - just the Virtual Machine to a 64 Bit version. Zero problems with multiple platforms or upgrades like 32 Bit to 64 Bit. If the 64 Bit version \"is not stable\", this is just a bad prove of incompetence of the software debelopers - and not a problem of 64 Bit.
12) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : platform \"x86_64-pc-linux-gnu\" not found (Message 29547) Posted 15 Jul 2007 by dentaku Post: I upgraded BOINC to 5.10.8 on Linux (Ubuntu 7.04) and my climateprediction work units continue crunching. But results are not send back to the server anymore! ------------------- Sending scheduler request: Requested by user Reporting 1 tasks Scheduler RPC succeeded [server version 509] Message from server: platform \'x86_64-pc-linux-gnu\' not found Deferring communication for 1 days 0 hr 0 min 0 sec Reason: requested by project ---------------------- Other projects like SETI@home continue working flawlessy (crunching, sending results, getting new work). Is this a known problem? Are my climateprediction tasks lost? Should I suspend them?
13) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : Resource Share doesn\'t work (Message 27796) Posted 8 Apr 2007 by dentaku Post: Perhaps this will help your understanding. Assuming that you\'ve set your prefs to use 2 processors. This Earliest Deadline First sounds bad as it seems that one project with smaller work units grab all CPU power from other projects. How can I change this? I would like to split both projects on both CPUs just like my setting says (2 times 50%). ?
14) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : Resource Share doesn\'t work (Message 27793) Posted 8 Apr 2007 by dentaku Post: I have 2 projects both with a value of 100 (50%). But the SETI@Home project grabs most of the time leaving the climateprediction.net project most time idle. I have a dual core CPU with BOINC general preferences using both cores for 100%. I\'m running BOINC on Ubuntu Linux 6.10 (64 Bit; 2 GB RAM) and also upgrading to the latest BOINC 5.8.17 didn\'t help.
