1) Questions and Answers : Preferences : Insufficient RAM??? (Message 34710) Posted 20 Aug 2008 by old_user486132 Post: ... So, why would it attempt to run an AM3? Is that like a single year of a larger experiment, run in greater depth? ... Try the first item in the climate science readme on the PHP board: here. Well! Originally I just wanted to help out; now I feel overfed! Thanks, and I\'ll leave the science to you folks!
2) Questions and Answers : Preferences : Insufficient RAM??? (Message 34699) Posted 19 Aug 2008 by old_user486132 Post: Have a look at your climateprediction.net prefs; you\'ll see the 1.5 Gig requirement stated there. In red. Yes, I see the requirement. I had not checked any preference for type of model, so I suppose it could have loaded an AM3 up; however, there is no subdirectory in my BOINC directory for an AM3. Nor were any of the ones I deleted earlier an AM3. So, why would it attempt to run an AM3? Is that like a single year of a larger experiment, run in greater depth? I have now checked off a preference for an SM3 model. Perhaps that fixes things.
3) Questions and Answers : Preferences : Insufficient RAM??? (Message 34694) Posted 19 Aug 2008 by old_user486132 Post: My CP model stopped running recently, after completing about 20%. Messages complain of several issues: HadSM3 needs more disk space. HadCM3 Coupled Model Experiment Optimized File I/O needs more disk space. HadAM3 needs 1464.84 MB RAM but only 458.99 MB is available for use. OK - I read the stickies, and I think I fixed file space issues by deleting old models. But this RAM issue is a puzzler. The stickies suggest a minimum of 512MB RAM, and I have 768 MB installed on my WinXP computer. But this message is demanding 1.5GB and that can\'t be right; can it?
