1) Message boards : Cafe CPDN : Computation error (Message 58986) Posted 9 Nov 2018 by Ron Voss Post: I meant a restart of BOINC; Mac wasn't rebooted. But I would think (naively?) the last CP checkpoint should always survive any kind of restart. Thanks for your efforts; I'm a volunteer board mod elsewhere.
2) Message boards : Cafe CPDN : Computation error (Message 58984) Posted 9 Nov 2018 by Ron Voss Post: Most of my BOINC projects take a few minutes to a few hours, but CP takes days to run, so I was bummed that after two days (blocking other projects because "Switch between tasks every N minutes" isn't working) my two CP tasks aborted simultaneously with "Computation error" after a restart, despite checkpointing. So I'm sorry to have to abandon CP; I don't want it wasting more cycles. These were my first two tasks after rejoining CP since being away a few years; I don't remember why I left, perhaps for the same reason. 16GB iMac MacOS 10.13.6.
3) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : Computation error (Message 50852) Posted 19 Nov 2014 by Ron Voss Post: It's quite frustrating to run for 450 hours and then get a computation error (this for hadcm3n...). Are the results still useful with this failure? I'm tempted to quit CPDN if I'm uselessly keeping other projects from running. But if the results are still useful with computation error, so be it. Thanks.
