1) Message boards : Number crunching : 2 successful runs vanished from my result table (Message 14747) Posted 30 Jul 2005 by old_user3222 Post: > Have you read <a> href="http://www.climateprediction.net/board/viewtopic.php?t=3111"> this</a> > thread about Carl's credit fixing? Well I have read that thread and it just happens, that from an account of more than 20,000 points crunched thru several endless working hours, now my credit count has gone down to a few points above the 10,000 mark (10,585.96 to be exact). Truly, in this particular case, if this is the way things are going to be counted and left as such, I know that it is up to me to continue or just drop the crunching in this project. I think that I will probably stay with the other projects. This is not serious!!!
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Trickle server down again? (Message 13645) Posted 21 Jun 2005 by old_user3222 Post: I have done everything that has been recommended, to see if the program or the project server, recognizes that I have a new unit which is totally different from what it shows in my account page for the trickles sent in. I have 52 hours of work or roughly a 7.66% advance on a unit which is not shown on my trickles report page. I did correct what was suggested in my preferences, but in spite of everything it just does not seem to make any difference at all. I will let it continue as is now for the rest of this week, if by the end of it there are no results shown I will separate from the project. There is no need to have time taken from other projects which are working fine, to be in one that does not modify results and just keeps taking time from the others. It is a pity but that's it.

8) Message boards : Number crunching : New 4.43 host for BOINC CC giving problems (Message 13226) Posted 8 Jun 2005 by old_user3222 Post: Due to the new system of this host, plenty of strange things started happening. First I got a new unit, when the ongoing one was still working at a 56% advance. Then all of a sudden both showed a finished message and error computing. Then on subsecuent days have got the following messages: 08/06/2005 6:29:24\|climateprediction.net\|Requesting 86400.00 seconds of work 08/06/2005 6:29:24\|climateprediction.net\|Sending scheduler request to http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc_cgi/cgi 08/06/2005 6:29:25\|climateprediction.net\|Scheduler request to http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc_cgi/cgi succeeded 08/06/2005 6:29:25\|climateprediction.net\|Message from server: No work sent 08/06/2005 6:29:25\|climateprediction.net\|Message from server: (reached daily quota of 1 results) 08/06/2005 6:29:25\|climateprediction.net\|No work from project 08/06/2005 6:29:25\|climateprediction.net\|Deferring communication with project for 19 hours, 53 minutes, and 47 seconds Actually I do not have any units from climate at all. Similar things are happening with SETI, and Protein. So far only Einstein is behaving ok.

We do not have neither the amount of CPU's nor the HD enough free space as to keep old already crunched units. If CPDN wants to re-study any unit, they should be smart enough to be able to reproduce or extract it from their files not to be using us as a warehousing unit. As far as I am concerned I will keep a couple, the last one completed and the ongoing one, as for the rest they will be taken out and deleted from the file. I do the computing, very gladly - and have participation in all projects, with one single CPU, but on top of that to have to store units... nope!!
11) Questions and Answers : Wish list : Delete files from finished WU (Message 7584) Posted 25 Jan 2005 by old_user3222 Post: To tell you the truth, it should be the people at CPDN the ones to design the proper ways of having these files eliminated from our files, just like all the other projects do. <img src="http://150.214.190.154/BOINCStatistics/Signature/Signature.php?userName=Liberto&cache=1&auxiliar=1">

16) Message boards : Number crunching : Too much Credits granted ? (Message 6202) Posted 18 Nov 2004 by old_user3222 Post: I agree that they increased from the seventy something to the ninety something figure per trickles, but the particularity that I have noticed now is that each time that a change of step begins, then there is a total higher bonus in credits. It happened in my unit when finishing fase 1/3 and then again at the end of fase 2/3, will it happen again when it finishes 3/3??

19) Message boards : Number crunching : CPDN re-doing work? (Message 5641) Posted 25 Oct 2004 by old_user3222 Post: As far as I am concerned I have noticed that the credit situation is being granted every 10802 trickles or timesteps or however you call them. Out of the 259248 timesteps in each of the 3 parts of one unit; everytime the total adds to a number + 10802, credit is granted. I work with a Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.66GHz Pentium.
