I\'m presently running BOINC Version 6.6.36. In the past with previous versions, I had been able to interrogate a text file in the manager to determine past events, such as progam cessations, trickle-ups and so on. I\'m afraid I don\'t now seem able to find where that information is stored. Any suggestions?

Afraid it's not possible at the moment...
Thank you.

Boinc Version 6.6.20.
HADCM 160 year running.
"Vorticity" seems to be default "View Graphics"
How to reset default to "Clouds"?

Thank you, Les, for your response, with most of which I would have hoped to concur. I am just a little surprised that it has taken you so long to take issue with mo.v\'s message 32898.

Many models seem to have exceeded 21 degrees C without crashing (in this context). Any further information? If there is such a script as you suggest there might be, then is \"global warming\" limited by political, or other, decree? If so, then what a farce this all is!

Yes, it has disappeared from the tasks tab. The graphs of temperature and rainfall are complete. My m/c is definitely no longer processing this model.

I believe that I completed WU 6119163 on 8th Feb, but the Server State is In Progress and the Outcome Unknown. Do I need to kick something?

Thanks for the info. I think I\'ll perfect my brain surgery technique before I have a go at that!

I\'ve been running two slab models of late on a dual core. One has developed into an ice-world and so has been aborted. Can I reinstate a previously backed-up coupled model onto the vacant core, and, if so, how?

Mike and Les
No change to firewall (Zone Alarm) or AV (AVG7.5), and at home, not on a server. Messages show \"Scheduler RPC succeeded [server version 509]\" At 10%, roughly how many credits should I have? In the past, I\'ve had no trouble sending trickles and getting credits on Coupled Models, even though, apart from only one completion, they have mostly been unviable! If the model has been issued more than once, will the project servers acknowledge and award credits for trickles already received from other computers?
Where do I find, and how do I access the climateprediction.net folder?

My Slab Model is around 9.9% and no trickles registered. Any ideas? After a little digging, am I right in thinking this model has been worked on by at least ten different computers?

I\'ve now re-run my latest back-up, 07/09/2036, three times. Each time it crashes at 21:00hrs on 12/09/2036. But something strange is happening. When it first gets to 21:00hrs, it pauses some 10 seconds or so, then reverts to 00:30hrs on 07/09/2036, but the checkpoint counter shows 311, not 432. It counts down to 264, then, at 01:00hrs (ocean) on 07/09/2036, it jumps up from 264 to 383. This then counts down to 30, ie 21:00hrs on the 12th. It does exactly the same twice more before crashing with a 161 error. Could it possibly be that the back-up is in some way corrupted? Should I restart an earlier back-up, although these only go back three or four model months?

MW, this workunit crashed for its other owner who has had a lot of trouble with 22 errors but is managing with his current (different) model so far.

http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/workunit.php?wuid=5979988

So you\'re the only person at the moment with a chance of completing it..... If I were you, I\'d keep the screensaver disabled to run the model as fast as possible and make a boinc folder backup at least weekly to maximise the chance of completing it. As we learn from bitter experience, with such long models the probability that something will go wrong before the end is quite high.

So what happened to your BBC credits? All gone, I see, which shouldn\'t happen. Did you use the same email address for BBC and cpdn or a different one?

I have nursed this along to mid-2036, but has now crashed twice. I\'m running another back-up, but, boy, does it look hot! How can I tell if it\'s now non-viable?

Mike, the link you give doesn\'t seem to help. It merely shows that the BBC expt. is closed to newcomers and directs them to CPDN, unless I\'m being thicker than normal. Any ideas?

Yes, just the one computer. I added memory, but that was during the BBC run, and is acknowledged on the BBC site. The e-mail addresses are the same. However, the Domain Name and Name of the computer are different, BBC to CPDN; does this matter? I don\'t know how to change one or the other.
I\'m no longer attached to the BBC site, and don\'t know how to attach, even if this is still possible. That was the problem when Les tried to help.

Yep, that certainly seems to be me! AFAIK, my e-mail address is the same on both sites; I recall I jumped the BBC ship in total frustration (for the first time) having got to 2069 before a computer disaster wiped everything. I then joined CPDN and sought advice at the time, Nov/Dec 2006, as to how I could get my BBC credits, and antipodean Les tried to assist, but my computer illiteracy prevented further progress in the matter.
With regard to hadcm3pbb_bp04_05819695, it would seem that the second \"owner\" lost it due to negative pressure in its first year (no trickles), whereas my attempt at it got it, initially, to 1926, although it crashed yesterday with \"computational error\" in 1928. I don\'t know how to find out whether that was a machine or a model fault. I\'m running it again from 1926, but if it dies again in 1928, that\'ll be it.
By the way, you may recall me as having drawn attention last year to at least five crunchers crunching the pre-Easter 2006 models.

No, Mike. 5910633 crashed around (model year) 2000 due to negative pressure. And it was a b****y looper. The one now crunching is 5979988 which crashed on 1st. April (model year 1926), although it\'s one of the hottest, so I don\'t have high expectations of its stability. Correction - I originally aborted it because of my expectation (and frustration at the time, having not completed a model in over twelve months and apparently losing over 60,000 credits on the BBC-side of things!)

Thank you, Pooh Bear and Les. It reported within the six hours.
I have now resurrected a back-up of another model from March this year; the trickles are being accepted. Does this indicate that this model has not been reassigned to another computer? If so, I will keep going with it; if not, I\'ll abort.
