1) Questions and Answers : Windows : Cancel project (Message 24799) Posted 20 Oct 2006 by old_user201 Post: Wenn du die Option \"leave application in memory\" ausgewÃ¤hlt hast, solltest du zuerst Suspend bzw. Schlummer in der Taskbar auswÃ¤hlen und dann erst BOINC beenden. Dann kannst du einfach dein BOINC Verzeichnis irgendwo sichern, damit du nix verlierst wenn mal was schiefgeht. GruÃŸ Joe
2) Questions and Answers : Windows : Back Up to restart a crashed PC? (Message 20856) Posted 28 Feb 2006 by old_user201 Post: It would be the best if you backup the whole BOINC-directory. If you use a packaging-tool like 7zip you can reduce the place needed extremely.
3) Questions and Answers : Windows : Error - Log Off (Message 20667) Posted 23 Feb 2006 by old_user201 Post: I know what you mean. This is exactly the reason why you should first stop BOINC and then log off/shutdown your PC. It is possible that your WU gets \"damaged\" when you simply kill the application by logging off.
4) Message boards : Cafe CPDN : attaching to BBC experiment (Message 20279) Posted 15 Feb 2006 by old_user201 Post: Yap, it\'s 160 years. After 80 years of (simulated) crunching there will be a checkpoint. If the model seems to be alright there are additional 80 years, but if it looks like the model is damaged it will be stoped.
5) Message boards : Number crunching : \"Project is down\"? (Message 19041) Posted 5 Jan 2006 by old_user201 Post: Well, I just tried to send a trickle-report and everything went fine. So I think that the servers are now up and running again. ;)
6) Questions and Answers : Windows : My first wu (Message 18742) Posted 26 Dec 2005 by old_user201 Post: Hi and welcome to cp.net! Well, there is nothing you could do to get a smaller WU. But 10 weeks sound a little bit too much. The time-remaining feature of the BOINC-Manager isn\'t very precice with cp-WUs, so it shouldn\'t need so much time. Hope this answered your question.
7) Questions and Answers : Windows : About 3000 hours for complete the first Work Unit (Message 18741) Posted 26 Dec 2005 by old_user201 Post: Hi and welcome to cp.net! Yeah, climateprediction-WUs are a lot bigger than S@h Workunits. But don\'t be afraid of not getting any Credits during this 2000 h. Every 10000 Timesteps the server will be contacted and you will get some Credits. I hope this answered your question. There should also be a FAQ anywhere here, which answers a lot more questions you probably have.
8) Questions and Answers : Windows : Sulphur model - weak performance (Message 17881) Posted 7 Dec 2005 by old_user201 Post: Thanks for your answer. I know that sulphur-models takes more time to complete, but i couldn\'t imagine that it would be such a big increase. Well, maybe it\'s only a temporary performance problem and gets better in the future. Greetings Joe
9) Questions and Answers : Windows : Sulphur model - weak performance (Message 17878) Posted 7 Dec 2005 by old_user201 Post: Hello everyone, I have a small problem with my new Sulphur WU. On the \"old\" WUs I had an average of about 1.8 sec/TS. With the new model it\'s about 3.8 sec/TS. IMHO that\'s a very big change and I have no idea why. The system is the same, no new hardware. Is this typical or is there a problem with my PC or the WU? Greetings from Austria Joe PS: Sorry for my bad english, I\'ll try to improve it. ;-)
