81) Message boards : Number crunching : Missing Credits from Host Total (Message 41485)
Posted 15 Jan 2011 by Profile Conan
Post:
I noticed that about a month ago the Host Total of This Host had dropped by a large amount.

I have waited to see if the totals sort themselves out but alas they have not.

The Total should be about 464,804.47 cobblestones, however it is showing 290,612.84 cobblestones (290,613 after rounding).
Now this lower total happens to be the total of all displayed model results on my account page for this host.
All archived results after being removed from my account page took their credits with them.

My overall total appears OK and my other computer host also appears OK.

If this discrepancy can be corrected It would be much appreciated thanks.

Conan

Happy New Year to the CP team.



Have done a recalculation and of the total of 1,086,351 one host has 594,397 credits and the one with the problem has 290,613 credits.

Added together this is 885,010 credits.

So 594,397 plus 290,613 = 885,010

1,086,351 minus 885,010 = 201,341 credits missing from host total.

290,613 + 201,341 = 491,954 credits This should be my hosts total.

So Host 1 has 594,397 credits
and Host 2 should have 491,954 credits.

I only have the two hosts connected to this project so it is easy to see the missing credits on my hosts totals.

Unsure if others are having a missing credit issue.

Finally passed 1,000,000 cobblestones.

It has taken awhile (around 4 years I think), but I have gotten there with just 2 computers doing the project mostly in the background.

87) Questions and Answers : Windows : Transferring or backup CPDN current project? (Message 38935)
Posted 19 Feb 2010 by Profile Conan
Post:
Just remember if it is a more recent version of Boinc that the BOINC folder does not contain any data only the Boinc programme files.
You also need to copy the APPLICATION DATA Folder as well.

This you need to copy the complete BOINC installation of the BOINC folder AND the Application Folder (which contains your project data files).

Older versions did not have this problem as only had the BOINC folder with everything in it.

I know there is a more recent thread about computers that crash too many work units, but I have been unable to locate it quickly as I am going to bed shortly.

I have been paired with the following 4 hosts and they all appear to have problems

940827 has been in constant error mode on all work units since late Dec \'09.
1028360 has been in constant error mode since 1st week of Jan \'10.
980622 constant errors on over 200 work units.
1001262 well over 300 work unit errors with no successful results and zero total.

Is it possible that they can be looked at please so they can be notified that things aren\'t working they way they should.

Thanks
Conan.

That error isn't all that uncommon, and will result in part of the software marking a model name for download, and a different part NOT sending it. So your records show you as having gotten it, even though it was never sent. Most of us have a few like this.
They don't get deleted from your list.

3-4 months is typical for these models.

These models trickle early in December. (3rd or 4th, I think).
The first one will be about 0.6%, I think.



Thanks Les for the info.

I re-allowed work fetch and selected the longer work units.
On first contact I got a "HTTP: internal server error".

A bit later reconnected and downloaded a number of "hadcm3trans_6.04_" files which I assume are the application files.

After this it downloaded a "hadcm3istd_csfp_160_06020985_6" series of files for that WU.

This all appeared to be OK until I looked at my account and found that 2 minutes before I downloaded this WU it shows I had downloaded another ?

A "hadcm3istd_csfq_1920_160_06020986_2" WU type which never downloaded to my computer yet appears on my account, I rechecked the messages but cannot find any mention of the WU on my computer.

Where did it go or did it even exist?

If it is lost then can it be deleted from my host as it will stay around till 2012 otherwise.

Also the estimated time for this WU type is working out at 3,289 hours (7.17 hours for 0.218%), is this the runtime for these ones or will it be a bit quicker?
When does the first Trickle happen?

Thanks
Conan.

I've had several, and I don't mess around with them. If they go blue, I abort them and get another one.


G'Day Les,

A question if you will,
Why has my Work Unit (WU 8357087) which ran on Linux and completed successfully yet every Windows computer that ran this WU all failed and became Ice Worlds.????

I see you've now aborted that iceworld, Mican. Its whole workunit #6278040 is rather interesting. A model on a machine with Linux crashed at about the same point. The model Hagar mentioned that seems to have speeded up was on a Mac. It crashed.

Conan has a model from the same workunit running on Linux and Verstapp has one on Intel/Windows, both further behind. Both Conan and Verstapp are contactable. I'll ask them to watch their models to see what happens well into Phase 4. It will be particularly interesting to see whether Conan gets an iceworld on Linux.


G'Day mo.v,
Just an update, I took a quick look at Verstapp's work unit as it has reached phase 4 and I am still at phase 1. The last TS that he uploaded has just taken a large drop from a consistent 1.2 s/TS to 1.33 s/TS so perhaps he has also gone into an Ice world ?


G'Day again mo.v,

Well it took a bit of time but it looks like Linux triumphs this time.
I have finished the model to completion (took 547 hours).
Time steps stayed the same right through and it shows 'Success', I just have to wait for the credits to be granted.

Here is the WU 8357087
if you want to check it out.
I can't read the data very well so really I have no idea if this was getting close to an iceworld or not, I don't have graphics on Linux enabled.

Posted 5 Mar 2009 by Profile Conan
Post:
The last HADCM3 model work units I ran on either an Opteron 275 or a Opteron 285 both used to take around 1.93 to 1.97 s/TS.

Thinking of trying another one to see if they have changed in a year.

I had a problem with the displayed times on the work units speeding up about 4 times the actual process times and showing a TS of 0.21 to 0.50 seconds which was not correct, this happened twice on different work units.
So probably time to try again.

On an AMD Opteron 275 @2.2GHz with 4 GB RAM on Linux Fedora Core 3
HADSM3f currently getting 1.97 to 1.964 s/TS
HADSM3m currently getting 2.007 to 2.011 s/TS

These two often run at the same time as well as mixing with other projects.
As the SM3f is the more advanced it mostly runs solo so gets the lower times.

On an AMD Opteron 285 @2.6GHz with 2 GB RAM on Linux Fedora Core 3
HADSM3f last time I did one of these on this machine was 25/7/07 it was getting 1.735 to 1.765 s/TS
HADSM3m currently getting 1.947 to 1.983
When a second HADSM3m starts running it\'s speed drops to 2.05 to 2.07 s/TS.

Despite the faster speed of the second machine they run very similar times.

Thanks for the responses, all now appears to be OK.

I made the assumption that the trickles would be awarded almost straight away. But alas I was a bit off.
As I said it has been since April last year since I ran this project so I am a bit rusty in regards to the workings of the project.

Thanks again for the responses and I will be more patient.

Conan.

Has this credit thing been addressed?

I have, after a long break, restarted Climate but I am confused with the \'trickles\' I have returned.

As I understand it each trickle is worth a set amount of points.

If this is the case I am wondering why, after 5 trickles on one computer I have been granted just 94.518 points (one trickle) and on the second computer I have sent in three trickles and have no points credited to me?

It has been two days so I thought something should show by now.

At this stage I am assuming that there are still some problems from late last month, but nothing seems to be stated about it.

Thanks,
Conan.

It is necessary to use the same email account. Have you changed email addresses?


G\'Day astroWX,

My e-mail address is the same as it has always been.
When I got into the account via the authenticator screen I checked the e-mail address and even changed it to the same one I had, I got the message that the e-mail addresses were the same.

What I did decide to try was to change my password using the same account key that I always have used in the past.

Amazingly it now appears to work,
So it seems that my password or the use of an account key had been changed or corrupted in the password box.

Thanks for replying.

Post:
For a week or two now I have been unable to log into my account via the normal \'e-mail and password\' page.

Keeps saying my password is invalid for my e-mail account.

As I joined a fair while ago I do not have an actual password as this log in system did not exist when I joined. So I use my account key in place of the password and have had no trouble logging in for years.

Now the only way I can log in is via the \'authenticator log in page\' method (on the page where you can also get a new password sent to you).

I have checked my account key against the authenticator and they are the same, so why can I not log in as I use to?
