41) Message boards : Number crunching : 155,553 days to completion.....advice needed please? (Message 14496) Posted 18 Jul 2005 by old_user59948 Post: Its my WU so I will try. I am using BOIC VIEW. I have copied the screen into a word pad file so if some one gives me an email addy I will send it. EDIT: OK I put it on my web site: www.iantighe.com/boincView.htm END EDIT: The % completed column was set back to zero at start of phase 3. Not culmulative. The CPU time used up to the point of phase 3 commencement was 15 days or so cannot remember exactly ....so this is culmulative. The projected completion date starts with the huge number as phase 3 commences - that is in the title of this thread.....is now 79 days etc etc. If this is what you want then send email address and i'll send the screen dump....unless its OK to post it here?....too big!

Its about projected finish times when new phases start. Like they start really big and then get smaller. Equally the secs per time step start big and grdually get more realistic. But as this was my first model I was not sure what was happening. If that's of interest pls help ur self. <img src="http://www.boincsynergy.com/images/stats/comb-1091.jpg"></img><br><img src="http://www.iantighe.com/setisig.jpg"></img><img border="0" src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/one/teamStats.php?userID=1602&prj=1&trans=off">

(Message 14466) Posted 17 Jul 2005 by old_user59948 Post: No I am not aware of that....would be nice though. On my problem though the secs/TS has reduced massively now over 36 hours or so. Now at 13.39 s/TS and model projected completion is 120 days - down from 155000. It still seems to be falling slowly..... I say this here now just to let folk know there advice was good and so that others that might come along later with the same question have the benefit of the whole story as it were. Saves them asking in a panic like I did perhaps. Again thanks to all you folks for helping me. <img src="http://www.boincsynergy.com/images/stats/comb-1091.jpg"></img><br><img src="http://www.iantighe.com/setisig.jpg"></img><img border="0" src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/one/teamStats.php?userID=1602&prj=1&trans=off">

Of the two models there one always gets lots of CPU and the other very little. I did wonder if there was CPU affinity; Anyway I got one model in phase 1 and the other in phase 3. This is a similar story to another box i have with win 2003 server. It too has one model well in advance of the other. <img src="http://www.boincsynergy.com/images/stats/comb-1091.jpg"></img><br><img src="http://www.iantighe.com/setisig.jpg"></img><img border="0" src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/one/teamStats.php?userID=1602&prj=1&trans=off">

I do not have a visual means of seeing whats happening. The number of days has a reduced a little further but not much. I guess I hang on a while and see.....but will dump it if necessary. Shame though if I do have to do that after nearly 15 days of CPU time.

51) Message boards : Number crunching : 155,553 days to completion.....advice needed please? (Message 14402) Posted 15 Jul 2005 by old_user59948 Post: Hi Hmmmm.....I started phase 3 I think of my first model and boincview projected that huge number of 155,553 days to completion. P3 Linux 3.0 HT. After an hour or so this has reduced to 1967 days but seems to be stuck about there at 228 s/TS. Of course a missed deadline is being notified to me. What do I do if it does not reduce to something within timescale? Shame to dump it but equally if it will not be accepted why waste more CPU time on it? Advice please? On this basis my little ole laptop running another model will finish just after the earth ends I think. Thanks.

55) Message boards : Cafe CPDN : Why slow down Fossil Fuel consumption? (Message 14357) Posted 14 Jul 2005 by old_user59948 Post: I think any plan to burn up fossil fuels early will cause problems. There is no replacement fuel source as yet. Energy is costed on the basis of its rivals so gas prices generally follow oil prices etc. Large rises in demand will cause price increases and it will be the most vulnerable that will suffer....not the V8 driver. Eventually China would make war on us to get hold of whatever energy sources remained and mankind would be doomed....as it already is.....as a result. My solution would be to place a 25% tax on all fossil fuel consumption on a hypothicated basis and see that go into world wide scientific search for new fuels that will sustain the human race for the next 1000 years. It must be government based of course to avoid commercial rip-offs. I hate to say it but nuclear power is perhaps an option here and we must not ignore it. That hurts a bit to say that but we would be foolish to ignore it. France generates something like 90% of its electricity that way which must be benficial to the environment. Contentious as usual..........that's me. <img src="http://www.boincsynergy.com/images/stats/comb-1091.jpg"></img><br><img src="http://www.iantighe.com/setisig.jpg"></img><img border="0" src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/one/teamStats.php?userID=1602&prj=1&trans=off">

My linux box has now moved onto phase 2 of its model as far as I can tell. Interestingly its doing 49.06 s/TS.....and needs 442 days to complete.......so....I wont trust these numbers perhaps! I use boincview btw so perhaps its not quite accurate either.
