1) Message boards : Number crunching : Zero status (Message 23011) Posted 3 Jun 2006 by old_user52163 Post: Alinator posted this in seti/number crunching: *************** So what happened is the science app thought that BOINC had died so it exited (which it is designed to do). When BOINC restarted the app it saw that the status was zero, so it thought the result was done and looked for the output data file. Since in fact it wasn\'t done, it sent the log message and let the science app continue from the last checkpoint. HTH, Alinator ************** Claude
2) Message boards : Number crunching : If you are subscribed to BAM and running Linux (Message 22844) Posted 21 May 2006 by old_user52163 Post: Message on the BouncStats home page: 2006-05-21: BOINCstats - URGENT: BAM and Linux hosts Due to a small difference between AMS requests from Windows and Linux systems, BAM was unable to determine which project a Linux host was attach to. This problem is now solved, but this means that BAM has no record of attached projects for these systems, and BAM will order these hosts to detach from all projects. To resolve this, you have to login to BAM, and check these hosts, and select the projects they should attach to.
3) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : New HADCM3L model (Message 21547) Posted 24 Mar 2006 by old_user52163 Post: FYI: HADCM3L is running on a P4 - 1.6ghz, MKD 10.2 2005LE system, slowly. I took a chance, and re-enabled \'get new work\', downloaded a dataset, and BOINC went into \'earliest deadline first\' mode. It ran thru the Seti and Einstine WU\'s cached, then started the CP WU. D/Led 3/17, deadline of 2/27/2007, Boincview indicated that it would finish in 373 days. It has been running for 6 days, and now should finish in 376 days. Boincview indicates that the Est. Speed = 674 MFIOps, and the trickle report shows 5.02 s/TS. I\'m going to resist the temptation to \'micromanage\', and just let it run. :-) Claude [Edit for some spelling]
4) Message boards : Number crunching : sulphur model - Linux - Signal 11 (Message 18065) Posted 11 Dec 2005 by old_user52163 Post: After 24 hrs processing of a sulphur model, host blnt7 again aborted wtih a signal 11. I\'ve detached that host from CPN. My other Linux host is still doing a slab model, and I will watch it when it finishes, as it probabily will get a sulphur model to chew on.
5) Message boards : Number crunching : sulphur model - Linux - Signal 11 (Message 17955) Posted 9 Dec 2005 by old_user52163 Post: A while back, [ on host blnt5 ] I had a problem with the cp task not running when it\'s run time came up. So I set the prefs to \'not keep in memory\', which \'fixed\' this problem. I was at BOINC V4.x at that time. I am now at BOINV V5.2.8 . Following geophi\'s response, I changed the prefs to \'keep in memory\', and monitored things [ on host blnt5 ] for a few task switch cycles. I didn\'t see any repeat of the \'not running\' problem. So I crossed my fingers, and re-attached host blnt7 to cpn, and have been monitoring things for the past several hours. I haven\'t seen any sign of the \'not running\' problem on either host, and, so far, no sign of a \'sig 11\'. I will post to this thread if I see a repeat of the failure. [edit] P.S. Both hosts are running MKD V10.2 LE Linux.

Is this a problem with Linux, the Linux api, or with the sulphur model?

However, I had to detach/reattach because of corrupted client_status.xml files recently, before adding the new machine, and some of the data sets listed are no longer on my computers. 2au7_200128448 2plh_300147763 2uzz_300154834 3vit_100202636 should be reassigned to others, if possible.
10) Message boards : Number crunching : A bad pointer? (Message 14750) Posted 30 Jul 2005 by old_user52163 Post: I added a new computer to my \'farm\' ( 201038 ), which d/led a data set, then d/led another, so it has 2 data sets to work on, one running and one ready to run. It sent it\'s first trickle last night. Looking at the computers info shows that it has \'12\' data sets, and when clicking on that entry I am presented with the list of all of my \'farms\' results. I think that a pointer got messed up in the master database.
