23) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : new linux boinc build runs great with freebsd (Message 1979) Posted 28 Aug 2004 by old_user812 Post: Seems it will run under emulation but it returns some very odd results. However, it doesn't crash :) So I'm waiting for an emulation of suse-9 for the time being, or maybe boinc from cvs might do the trick. Difficult to tell if its the freebsd or the linux emulation causing the problem. <img src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/cpdn/stats.php/userID:61/trans:off/.png"></img>
24) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : SuSE/Athlon 2200+/sTS (Message 1976) Posted 28 Aug 2004 by old_user812 Post: One of my boxes is a xp2000+ running suse9.1 and it consistently reports ts in the range 4.2 to 4.8. It has 512MB ram. For comparison, I've also got an athalon axia-y (1GHz clocked via the fsb to 1.33) (also running suse9.1) with 256MB reporting on avg 8.4s/ts, and another machine with a gig of ram that identifies itself as i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 2800+ running gentoo returning 2.34 s/ts So your s/ts sounds about right. <img src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/cpdn/stats.php/userID:61/trans:off/.png"></img>

OK I shall build 4.06 on a linux box Would it be possible to have a POSIX-standard climate model :) <img src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/cpdn/stats.php/userID:61/trans:off/.png"></img>

I don't trust the way its running under emulation. I could tweak the makefile so that boinc builds a binary with an acceptable internal name.. what do you think? BTW the cvs for boinc builds 4.06 - do you know if this will work with CPDN? <img src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/cpdn/stats.php/userID:61/trans:off/.png"></img>

33) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : DLT=0.00 ? and then a massive value like 400 (Message 1719) Posted 26 Aug 2004 by old_user812 Post: I get lots of lines ending with DLT=0.00. On the other linux boxes this doesn\'t happen - there is a number there, variously 2 or 3 or 4, but on this machine I get loads of 0.00 and occasionally a very large value, like 400: 00gd_300025574 - PH 1 TS 003312 - 10/02/1811 00:00 - H:M:S=0003:04:00 AVG= 3.33 DLT= 0.00 00gd_300025574 - PH 1 TS 003313 - 10/02/1811 00:30 - H:M:S=0003:10:40 AVG= 3.45 DLT=400.85 I\'m suspicious of this because, as well as the odd value, it\'s running on the freebsd box under linux (8) emulation and I don\'t quite trust it yet. Also, though the box has been running the model for a couple of days now, I see no trickle under its identity (on the native linux boxes I see at least one every 24 hrs). Any ideas? <img src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/cpdn/stats.php/userID:61/trans:off/.png"></img>
34) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : Running cpdn on an encrypted ReiserFS - just say no! (Message 1716) Posted 26 Aug 2004 by old_user812 Post: If you enable encryption on a reiserfs filesystem, when boinc runs it can\'t determine the partition size correctly (it returns a very small value) even if that filesystem is mounted and the operating system can read/write normally to the filesystem. It runs fine on non-encrypted reiserfs. (suse-9) <img src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/cpdn/stats.php/userID:61/trans:off/.png"></img>

37) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : new linux boinc build runs great with freebsd (Message 1602) Posted 25 Aug 2004 by old_user812 Post: A big thank you to whoever compiled the new linux executable. It works just great under freebsd 4.10 running linux emulation. Now running it on my most studly box (p4 2.4 gig ram) along with all the lesser machines. In order to run it, you need to do the following, when the model is first run: 1. let it grab its files and let it unpack them, then stop the model. 2. in the boinc dir, brandelf -t Linux boinc_4.05_i686-pc-linux-gnu 3. cd into projects/climateprediction.net and brandelf -t Linux all the ha* files (not the zips) 4. restart the client. <img src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/cpdn/stats.php/userID:61/trans:off/.png"></img>

Hi yeah my point being that that what's said looks like "if your OS aint there then you can compile your own" and this is clearly not the case, and something to that effect should state this. <img src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/cpdn/stats.php/userID:61/trans:off/.png"></img>

I\'ve compiled boinc natively but cpdn doesn\'t know about the OS for reasons that have been explained to me :) but hopefully someone will have the time to see fit to rectify this. <img src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/cpdn/stats.php/userID:61/trans:off/.png"></img>
