2) Message boards : Number crunching : Boinc version 6 released - comments thread (Message 34959) Posted 10 Sep 2008 by old_user484002 Post: Fine! The computers had finally merged (I did merging by name) and both computers are updating their records. Still waiting for credits for ASK-MSI to appear. And waiting another month till it will calculate to the break point :) Thank you much for help!
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Boinc version 6 released - comments thread (Message 34953) Posted 9 Sep 2008 by old_user484002 Post: Hi Ask Spb I think it should be possible to sort things out without losing the models. Great! 2. Do the same for computer #799541 or #897413. There should now be 4 computers in your list. But this is the problem computer! Done. Both finished merging with errors, but one merging produced the following result: ----------------- Warning: Missing argument 3 for hosts_compatible(), called in /var/www/boinc/projects/cpdnboinc/html/inc/host.inc on line 409 and defined in /var/www/boinc/projects/cpdnboinc/html/inc/host.inc on line 317 Merging host 799260 into host 821156 Database Error Error: Couldn\'t update results ------------ And! now they don\'t want to merge anymore! :)) Thus I have 799260 working and 821156 empty. Should I simply delete 821156 ? 3. We need to know what this new computer ID number is for the problem machine. The problem computer ID is 897413. 5. On the problem computer, tell us the name(s) of the model(s) listed in the BOINC Manager Tasks tab/window. Is doing task hadcm3istd_0io3_1920_160_05939925_0 (using hadcm3i version 544) 6. On the problem computer I want you to look at the BOINC Data folder/directory. You should find it here: Windows XP: C:\\Documents and Settings\\All Users\\Application Data\\BOINC\\ Double-click on the BOINC folder to look at the contents. DON\'T MOVE OR DELETE ANYTHING! At the top of the list of contents you will see 2 yellow sub-folders (sub-directories) called Projects and Slots. We need to know if there is also a third sub-folder called Locale. No, the sub-folder Locale is not there, it\'s in the folder BOINC in Program Files When you have done all that and answered the questions, I hope we can decide what you should do next. I hope the weather is better in Russia than it is here in England..... No chance. It\'s as bad, as predicted ;) But I still have faith for Indian Summer :)

Both of them are working perfectly, but new accounts were created on the server: ask-modern 799260 -> 821156 ASK-MSI 799541 -> 897413 \"ask-modern\" is still crunching the same model as it was doing with ver. 5, so it seems to be no problem, it\'s working with the account 799260, while 821156 is empty. But ASK-MSI had crashed and received a new task. I found it several days later, did restore the previous task (7369481, Workunit 6152105) from the backup and got it running. But now it\'s not reflected neither on old account 799541, nor on the new 897413 ! Meanwhile the computer send trickle-up messages and exchange information with the server! I\'m afraid the work will be lost... :((

Can I do anything else to investigate it? ... One other thing is to watch the progress of similar PCs in that work unit: 6143336. So far, one PC has gone further but it\'s Linux. When these slabs slow down, a trickle may take as long as a week - I suspect a few more people in that work unit will start to notice something wrong soon. [Edit: The guy above you in the work unit list is the one to watch as he\'s got the fastest machine.] My model definitely got looped, as now it shows again timestep 131070 (was before 131087, 131069, 131068). s/TS is growing - 4,06. Seems all Windows simulations got looped on the same timestep - somewhere after 129,624, while Linux simulation passed it successfully. So I will better try another task :)

Running a stability check (such as prime95 for 24 hours) helps to identify whether it is the hardware or the software causing the trouble, although if it happens just a few times it is usually the model. If it happens a lot, and you also get unexplained model crashes, then it is worthwhile running the test. Really interesting effect: s/TS is now 3,43 and the timestep is counting DOWN! (131068 vs 131087) Can I do anything else to investigate it? It\'s the firs time happening, so hardware problem is unlikely.

Processor: 1 GenuineIntel Intel(R) Celeron(R) D CPU 3.06GHz [x86 Family 15 Model 6 Stepping 4] Processor features: fpu tsc sse sse2 mmx Whether you are overclocking - seems, not. Should I try to proceed or abort?
8) Questions and Answers : Windows : Can I restart a task, if it does not do automatically? (Message 31948) Posted 1 Jan 2008 by old_user484002 Post: Just to add a bit, the model MUST appear in the Tasks tab of your BOINC manager. It\'s not enough to just have a folder with that name. It is NOT appearing in the Tasks tab... Can I manipulate files in the folder to make it appear?
9) Questions and Answers : Windows : Can I restart a task, if it does not do automatically? (Message 31944) Posted 1 Jan 2008 by old_user484002 Post: My Windows got crashed. After reseting BOINC did not resume the current task (Result ID 6999441, Work unit ID 6107510), but downloaded another. The task is still on the disk. Can it be continued? How to \"point\" the manager on this uncompleted task?
