Result overdue... abort?

Posted 18 Jun 2010 by old_user85713 Post: Hello, my BOINC client is saying [...] 2010-06-18 08:55:38 [climateprediction.net] Task hadcm3ivolc_l4i2_2000_80_26002286_2 is 49.20 days overdue. 2010-06-18 08:55:38 [climateprediction.net] You may not get credit for it. Consider aborting it. [...] This is of course because my laptop, once a fast one, is now to be considered very slow as I am running the client several hours a day. My question is if it is of any *scientific* value for the project to continue (about 70 of 80 model years finished), or if I should abort. I don't give too much attention to the credit points Regards, Marcus |

Posted 30 May 2006 by old_user85713 Post: Hi, Marcus, Hi AstroWX, I did a complete reinstall of BOINC resently, did not change anything (though, it did upgrade the BOINC manager) Do You mean components of the X server or the KDE desktop, shared libraies BOINC makes use of? I not very skilled with that drivers concept on linux unfortunately Cheers Marcus |

Posted 27 May 2006 by old_user85713 Post: Hello, I have used up several work units the same way, in my case it has something to do with the BOINC \"show graphics\" feature. Somtimes pressing this button leads to a unresolvable computational error, with new BOINC version as well as with the older one. I then chose to help myself with a simple backup strategy. I usually now start my laptop X session with a run.sh script located in some backup directory tar -cjf boinc.tar.bz2 /data/BOINC/ /data/BOINC/run_client > /dev/null & startx that will first backup the whole BOINC directory to a bzip2 file (takes about 5 min) when CPDN is still *not* running, then start boinc in the background and start the X desktop. If BOINC chooses to crash unrecoverable because nosy mhofer chose to press this \"show graphics\" button again AND the machine is luckily offline so it had no chance to complain at the cliateprediction.net servers (and fetch new work!), I simply erase the BOINC directory and move the backup over it (expanded with tar -xvf of course). I start then from the point in time where the backup been done. I know this is very cumbersome, but better to lose a work unit due to computation errors that are NOT due to parameter setup of the experiment, but apparently due to instabilities in the software. If a model crashes because it is bound to from the experimental setup, the backup would not \"help\" of course. The people responsible for the linux release whould seriously think about increasing the stability here, and why the graphics button can lead to an unrecoverable(!) computational error marcus |

Posted 22 Jan 2006 by old_user85713 Post: Hello, My computer (ID 189565) is currently working on unit 1222147 (sulphur_ah68_000488816_0). Though no difficulties are apparent at this time and 2 trickles received, the server status is reported as \"over\" on the results page. Is there something to worry about? cheers Marcus |
