Batch #942 of mixed length HADCM3S for Mac has been added but although some are running the batch appears to have been almost immediately pulled (batch list).

[Edit: Plus two OpenIFS test batches for Linux, #943 and #944, 2 units and 5 units.]

Your axe to grind with Apple is well noted, and is increasingly irrelevant here. Are you going to rewrite the 32-bit MacOS stuff for 64-bit and ARM? No? Then quit complaining about how a company you don't buy anything from is doing things you don't like. Bitching about it here isn't going to change a single thing about either the tasks to run, or Apple's practices.
Might aswell point out to everyone using Apple products that they shouldn't be. Selling things which are obsolete after a short time is unethical, criminal, and environmentally unfriendly.

I run Windows and only Windows, because it's the easiest to use, the most commonly supported for programs, and doesn't ditch its users. I see no need to use anything else. Windows 11 on 7 PCs here.

This thread is indeed intended to be for the discussion of new work that appears on CPDN rather than platform comparisons, but in contradiction of that I would say in Apple’s defence that because they supply both hardware and software they also offer trade-ins, which Microsoft cannot in general — when there are no more 32-bit Mac models then I’ll trade in my ancient Mac mini, if they’ll still take it: I cannot do that with any of my PCs. On the other hand, I do have some important applications whose functionality erodes with each Windows version change. So I rather fancy the Microsoft/Apple comparison could just express a bias based on individual use.

I develop software for Windows, so I have a Windows machine; I have old software that won’t run under current Windows so I have an old Windows machine; I have some applications that are better on Mac so I have a Mac; until the power supply blew once too often, I had a Linux machine for yet more stuff. It’s horses for courses and I see no reason to suppose that we all have or should have exactly the same horse.

The Batch #930 download problems should now be fixed.

(My Mac is now running a model, at least.)

Post:
Three batch #926 models have now completed successfully on my very slow Mac, so anecdotally it looks like the switch by the project of that batch to Mac-only was a good decision.

The batch #927 Mac-only models are running fine so far (presumably they are the same set as batch #926), though a twice-failed model has just downloaded, so there is clearly the usual background rate of failures. No pattern that I can see yet.

I just now manually terminated all the "shorts" batch 926 waiting to run.
Because they've all been dying sigsegv
If cpdn runs out of work, I can run other projects, and maybe spend a few hours on hardware and software updates.

keep on crunching

Thanks for doing that! My ancient Mac mini is slowly crunching through those models without failing so far, and has just picked up one of your rejects.

Could someone please look at this failed task https://www.cpdn.org/result.php?resultid=22185093? Failed for different reason than most recently here. Would like to know what the log means and if the Run & CPU times make sense. It's a HadCM3 that ran for over 3 days before erroring out.

Errors involving “invalid theta” indicate that the model’s physics has become unrealistic, so the model is stopped. For a computer that is not over-clocked such errors can be ignored.

The model is likely to fail in the same way on other PCs with the same architecture, but might succeed, for example, on a Mac with a different floating-point library. It’s all part of the ensemble method of modelling: the project knows that some models are on the edge.

… When a batch of 3,000 tasks does get released, it only takes 30-60 minutes for all of them to be grabbed by the hordes of Windows computers waiting for work.

… to add to what Les said, there is a New Work Announcements thread on this message board. If you subscribe to that thread then a notification will be sent to you when one of the moderators spots a new batch and reports it to that thread: you can then get a little bit ahead of the (Windows) crowd by doing a manual update for the climateprediction.net project in BOINC Manager to request new work.
