I\'m seeing this message under \"errors\" on the workunit summary page of my work units. Here is an example:

What does this mean, and what is going wrong?

Thanks,
Ed

There was, and possibly still is, a project at another UK Uni for hi-resolution models.
These will need 4.5 Gb for the model alone, so around 6 gigs for model plus OS.

Hello
I have crunch a hadsm3 wu, and after the phase 2, the % is starting new from 0% - is this right or is the wu crashed?

Edit: Now i have a error message:

I assume you are talking about this host. The host details show one CPU even though the description is for a quad core chip. Check that your OS is registering all of the cores, a reinstall of the OS is often required when changing to multi-core chips.

Also check your BOINC directory for a cc_config.xml file, if it exsists make sure there are no tags for \"NCPU\".

Stanford, CA -- Human activities are releasing carbon dioxide faster than ever, while the natural processes that normally slow its build up in the atmosphere appear to be weakening. These conclusions are drawn in a new study in the early online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,* October 22-26. The report states that �together, these effects characterize a carbon cycle that is generating stronger-than-expected climate forcing sooner than expected.�

Between 2000 to 2006, human activities such as burning fossil fuels, manufacturing cement, and tropical deforestation contributed an average of 4.1 billion metric tons of carbon to the atmosphere each year, yielding an annual growth rate for atmospheric carbon dioxide of 1.93 parts per million (ppm). �This is the highest since the beginning of continuous monitoring in 1959,� states the report. The growth rate of atmospheric carbon dioxide is significantly larger than those for the 1980s and 1990s, which were 1.58 and 1.49 ppm per year, respectively. The present atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide is 381 ppm, the largest concentration in the last 650,000 years, and probably in the last 20 million years.

While the worldwide acceleration in carbon dioxide emissions had been previously noted, the current analysis provides insights into its causes. �The new twist here is the demonstration that weakening land and ocean sinks are contributing to the accelerating growth of atmospheric CO2,� says co-author Chris Field, director of the Carnegie Institution�s Department of Global Ecology.

Changes in wind patterns over the Southern Ocean resulting from human-induced global warming have brought carbon-rich water toward the surface, reducing the ocean�s ability to absorb excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. On land, where plant growth is the major mechanism for drawing carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, large droughts have reduced the uptake of carbon.

Emissions from the burning of fossil fuels constituted the largest source of anthropogenic carbon, releasing an average of 7.6 billion metric tons each year between 2000 and 2006, a significant jump from 6.5 billion tons in the 1990s. Emissions generated by land-use changes such as deforestation have remained constant, but shifted in geographic focus.

The study also shows that the carbon intensity of the global economy (kilograms of carbon per dollar of economic activity) has increased since 2000 at about 0.3% per year, reversing a 30-year decline of about 1.3% per year. Because practically all proposed scenarios for managing future emissions postulate improvements in carbon intensity in the global economy, this deterioration of carbon intensity presents a serious challenge in stabilizing atmospheric carbon dioxide and mitigating climate change.

I can\'t understand this change at all! Suddenly, all of my 6 computers using Linux list *every finicking detail* of the processor, causing each system to take 2/3rds of a screen. Note that the details serve no useful purpose.

Does anybody test for usability? It sure doesn\'t look like it. The current display is useless for more than two systems.

Now my computer list is essentially useless because I can only see part of two systems at a time. Is there some way to limit the display of each system to 6 lines?

As per your other posts, no specific date - \'when the project gets a chance\'.

Do any of the projects you run actually USE 64-bit applications? As far as I know it\'s only APS, primegrid, and one other whose name I don\'t recall?

i have an E4300 cpu oc\'d to 2.4, on G965 DS3, so it\'s basically an E6600 with half of cache, and at room temperature 30C, core temp shows 70-72 with stock cooler and i know that it can\'t get any hotter than this.

we\'re beta testing a new version of the hadcm3 model, using the latest Intel Fortran compiler (9.1) and some optimizations which seem to work. People are getting \"sub-1-second\" per timesteps on Core2 Duos (these CPUs seem to be the best; I guess Intel has made their compiler work best on their latest & greatest chip! :-)

In the past I\'ve let the pc keep on running during my night sleep, for other reasons than BOINC, and when my log still made a line showing the time each hour, I noticed that during the last few hours the calculating speed started dropping dramatically, even to half of normal operation. And whilst running it 24/7 will not save me electricity, it will save me money because during the day electricity is much more expensive than during the night.
Thanks for the help on the time when progress is saved (432-timer).

I\'ve got a 4 cpus machine but I can use it cause it\'s a XEON em64t! under Debian/Sarge. If boinc has this kind of problems I think it\'s time wasted. I\'ve seen many users with the same problem but no solution from berkeley.

Like a patch, how can I run boinc (a 32bits program) inside my machine? is that possible?

Regards.
