and on the other side I cant follow the 1 hour update, as now 3 PCs running 24/7 since last 10,5 hour electrical shutdown, AND sure also the boinc-manager is running with open window, and no power save etc. but

* ID: 1487884: 3 Aug 2019, 21:18:28 UTC (the one with 2 active Tasks)
* ID: 1487933: 3 Aug 2019, 17:51:25 UTC (a 24/7 webserver)
what ment 3.5 hours min. no connection, no update, ? - but all pc and network are online and active. Even no similar lost of connect timeout that would indicate that.

as I found this Error while computing Tasks now in
"/var/libs/boinc-client/projects/..."
* does climateprediction know that also ?
- and give them to someone else (already) ?
* or are they checked and running later on my PC again and then reported as Error if cant (even with updated libs)
- or can I force this 2 Tasks to restart, or to copy on other of my PC, so that they are ready more early ?

update,
an electric shutdown 30 min, and restart computer made it,
still only 2 Tasks on 8 CPU - so far a bit irritated why, how and if ...

"sudo apt-get install lib32ncurses5 lib32z1 lib32stdc++-6-dev" worked,
but I guess I need to restart PC and boinc to make again 4 Tasks running, instead of the 2 now ... I wait for an freeze first,
then I will see if still 2 or 4 Task again


computers are asking,
mean that is the most 1 hour under status "Communication deferred xx:xx:xx" ?
and I guess that "1 hour" is set fixed.

error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6:
is because these models are 32 bits, and that missing lib is needed for that reason.

? 2 Tasks are running but 4 not ... I am confused

and try to update, or install too much possibilities and dependencies. Stopped


All computers are treated equally, fast or slow.
It's not important, as long as they complete the tasks in a reasonable time.

reasonable time: the new one have time until ? 13.07.2020 is see - wow, seams not to be urgent
OK, sound nice all all same, is there any other selection like last contact of a computer to be selected ? Or just bad luck that of my 2 online just one got some ? (as the 2nd one "-32b" had no manager open and a older responce)


added:
I see at other thread, failed tasks are send new, ok -
and go to computer just asked for work.

Yes I followed the "UK Met Office HadAM4 at N144 resolution 0 310" started with 626 about, I was ready with my one just under 600, now is 310 ...

Irritation gets more ...

I just got new Tasks 31 Jul 2019, 22:54:56 UTC, N144 resolution
but my Work PC got them, crashed 3 times yet with 4 Tasks,
but the other also running PC with same CPU got nothing. ???

At first, and after 2 restart even 4 tasks where running, now after again crash/freeze only 2 Task came up. - until now now new freeze.

Error:
error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6:
did then sudo update upgrade ...

see: https://www.cpdn.org/cpdnboinc/results.php?hostid=1487884 - show 4

When there isn't any logic behind all this:
- why not both running fast PC got ?
- why not any post about, or status page related ... still 53 to send ... or I am to dumb to read that page
... I have to rethink this engagement.

I am not sure if I let PC run all time for that 7 days it might take (like before), or close at night.
As there are still so much tasks in progress and I cant estimate if that are old ones on slow less time running PC, or there are often coming new ones so keeping that number high ?

It is not fixing together that too much pc power and to less work ..., if then that in progress should reduce quite fast.

If you look at the due dates, they are one year out. Speed is not their thing.


THAT I saw. Wondering !

How to make sure the fast machines are on and ready to work when a new set is getting out ?

Is there any other Boinc to support this direction ? - the other times most best is shut them down, and save electric.

Thanks

Post:
CPDN doesn't send out two copies of a task to check because unless the computers are identical, the results won't be exactly the same. This is due to the complexities of climate and the way the programs are written. ...

Have a good read around the forums because they certainly contain answers to man of the questions I had. I still have questions from time to time!


I have two I7-4770 with diff MB etc. also another 5-6 PC which are all diff in CPU, most also HP DELL acer ... .
I guess to calculate 4 tasks with 2 diff downloads in fast 7 days would help a lot in speed (the main 2 diff downloads on the I7-4770) and calculate the same 2 on two other slower machines slower like 10 days, could help to force speed incl. save results.

We need results, that we can prepare our-self.

about me:
I am 53, from Germany living since 13 years in Thailand.

My first knowledge about something wrong was until 1990, as I visited every year glacier in Switzerland as saw the melting got faster, what couldn't be if temperatures are same = I knew so that it got warmer then before.
As if the glacier would melt until an balance of existing temperatures, the lost should get less every summer. But it got more.

In my years here in Thailand I then saw then from 2010 until now how weather patters change:
* the monsoon got earlier, less strong, and
* instead of no rain, even clouds around Chiangmai after 1.11. now the rain still comes back until New-year about every 12 days, and every year stronger. started with clouds, some drops until strong day lasting rain now.

The Climate change is real ... and fast.

I might die near normal with 90 years of age, but my daughter will face hard times and not sure if she might die normal with a good age.

I just finished a first work, wondering

- that my task had been calculated before already with a failure.
Why, as so much flops available, they aren't sent out twice = bigger option of a good clean result.

- my pc was ready in about 7 days, but sill a lot units still in work
Isn't it important to get fast results, as climate change IS FAST.
Why not using the fastest PCs available when a new set is sent ?
(WE all want to help, ok - I would evem use my slower PCs in same time to calculate a same set, so after another 10 days there is a proofed 2nd to check.)

Greets to all here,
I am in Thailand and a 9 year old daughter - and need to be prepared for this future to protect her.
