2) Questions and Answers : Windows : Communication defferred (Message 35665) Posted 8 Dec 2008 by jamie Post: Hi Jamie. Welcome to the board. The first thing to do is don\'t panic, which is what both re-installing and resetting the project are. They just lose models needlessly. There are several reasons for Suspended, most, if not all, of which are covered in the README posts here. (4th item down in the section: Running the model, in the Running the model README post.) Communication deferred just refers to a problem in talking with the servers, perhaps because one was off line at the time of first contact by your computer. Each time BOINC tries to contact it, the deferred time increases, to reduce the load on a server which is having problems. This project has a problem with one of the upload servers, which also hosts these web pages, and the Server Status page. At certain times of the day it gets VERY busy, perhaps with also running the credits program, and a program extracting data for the physicists. First, read up on the various Suspends and their purpose. Then, if you still have a \"deferred\" problem, copy those lines from the Messages tab, together with a couple either side, and paste them here. Hi I looked at the thread based on suspends, but this hasn\'t helped as my manager doesn\'t have a \'resume\' button, it is still on \'suspend\' and I don\'t have any tasks in the tasks tab. Here are all the messages that I have recieved since I reinstalled BOINC: 08/12/2008 20:44:43\|\|Starting BOINC client version 6.2.18 for windows_intelx86 08/12/2008 20:44:43\|\|log flags: task, file_xfer, sched_ops 08/12/2008 20:44:43\|\|Libraries: libcurl/7.18.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8e zlib/1.2.3 08/12/2008 20:44:43\|\|Data directory: C:\\Documents and Settings\\All Users.WINDOWS\\Application Data\\BOINC 08/12/2008 20:44:43\|\|Running under account jamie 08/12/2008 20:44:43\|\|Processor: 1 GenuineIntel Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1400MHz [x86 Family 15 Model 0 Stepping 10] 08/12/2008 20:44:43\|\|Processor features: fpu tsc sse sse2 mmx 08/12/2008 20:44:43\|\|OS: Microsoft Windows XP: Professional x86 Editon, Service Pack 3, (05.01.2600.00) 08/12/2008 20:44:43\|\|Memory: 511.48 MB physical, 1.22 GB virtual 08/12/2008 20:44:43\|\|Disk: 37.28 GB total, 9.21 GB free 08/12/2008 20:44:43\|\|Local time is UTC +0 hours 08/12/2008 20:44:43\|\|No coprocessors 08/12/2008 20:44:43\|climateprediction.net\|URL: http://climateprediction.net/; Computer ID: 885113; location: (none); project prefs: default 08/12/2008 20:44:43\|\|No general preferences found - using BOINC defaults 08/12/2008 20:44:43\|\|Preferences limit memory usage when active to 255.74MB 08/12/2008 20:44:43\|\|Preferences limit memory usage when idle to 460.34MB 08/12/2008 20:44:43\|\|Preferences limit disk usage to 9.12GB Thanks, Jamie
3) Questions and Answers : Windows : Communication defferred (Message 35663) Posted 8 Dec 2008 by jamie Post: After a few months of working fine, my computer has now decided to stop running my climate prediction project. Initially it said \'computation suspended\' even though I hadn\'t suspended the task. In my desperation I uninstalled BOINC and reinstalled it, but it hasn\'t solved the problem as it now says \'communication defferred\'. I have tried reseting the project but that does nothing. Please help!
