41) Message boards : Number crunching : ???...What Happened To My Credits...??? (Message 3442) Posted 8 Sep 2004 by STE\/E Post: Some of my Credits Came Back Carl, about 850 of them...But I'm still short somewhere but I don't know how much or where it would be...I was over 10,400 Credits early yesterday and have turned in Results since then but I only show 9981 Credits now...So theres still a loss somewhere... My granted credits add up to what my Total credits show on my Stats page so the only thing I can think of is a WU got lost somewhere...??? I'm not that worried about it though Carl, heck I'm happy to get the 850 back at least... :)
42) Message boards : Number crunching : ???...What Happened To My Credits...??? (Message 3420) Posted 8 Sep 2004 by STE\/E Post: I lost well over 10,000 credits today. Maybe more? :( What the sense for staying w/this project, BOINC-ClimatePrediction, if this is going to happen? ========== Well I've been biting my tongue over this, I only lost 2000 Credits but 2000 Credits is still 2000 Credits...I'm not happy at all with it at all but what are you going to do about it. If I've learned nothing elso about the new BOINC Projects I've at least learned 1 thing...I Expect to lose Credit at any time whether the Project is Beta, Alpha, or Live...Thats seems to be the way life is with the BOINC Projects, gain 10,000 credits and give back 2000 credits ...

(Message 3271) Posted 7 Sep 2004 by STE\/E Post: It may be that just credits from runs that failed to complete have gone , which is fine by me as it never felt right getting credit for them anyway. ========== I have no problem with that either as I expected them to maybe be gone some day, but I know I've lost some Credit for a Wu I'm running right now because the PC thats running it only show's 1 Trickle Credit when I've turned in 2 since last night on that WU...

(Message 3255) Posted 7 Sep 2004 by STE\/E Post: Yes, but now I've lost 2000 Total Credits now that you ran the update... :0 I know my Total Credits can't be right, on my 3.06 PC I had around 800-900 Total credits, now I only show 75.61 Credits...Even if Credits where deducted for WU's that failed or discontinued I would have more than 75.61 Total Credits on that computer because I've turned in 2 Trickle Results since last night on it and if thats all I would get it would come to more than 75.61... Plus my 3.2 PC is still missing the 1300 credits it lost before you ran the Update...

46) Message boards : Number crunching : ???...What Happened To My Credits...??? (Message 3234) Posted 7 Sep 2004 by STE\/E Post: Why did I lose about 1300 Total Credits...1 minute I had about 10,400 & then shortly after that I had only 9224 Credits...Is there some reason for this deduction of Credits...Please Explain...??? My Recent Credits stayed the same though...Weird ...:/ As far as I can tell it looks to me like all the Credits came off this Host "http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/show_host_detail.php?hostid=1114" ... Something goofy is going on with the Host anyway, the other day I reported the same Trickle Result Twice within a few Minutes & it has happened several times since then...Now this morning I see the same Trickle Result Reported 3 times within a few Minutes of each other... 07 Sep 2004 10:51:29 1114 11766 01kv_200027032_0 3 32406 1488879 2.7026 07 Sep 2004 10:50:33 1114 11766 01kv_200027032_0 3 32406 1488879 2.7026 07 Sep 2004 10:47:42 1114 11766 01kv_200027032_0 3 32406 1488878 2.7026
47) Message boards : Number crunching : Another Weird Result...!!! (Message 3077) Posted 5 Sep 2004 by STE\/E Post: Ok thanks Carl...But I think I have the explanation for the Close Credit increase now... I'm running 2 WU's at once on a P4 HT CPU and for some reason 1 WU runs about 20 Minutes slower than the other WU. The only thing I can think of is any activity on the Computer is used on that side of the CPU & WU...??? Well when I seen the double entry on the 1 WU and then 2 sudden Credit increases I just assumed that the Trickle Result received Credit Twice because I didn't see another Trickle Result Entry in my Account Data... Well now an hour later I see the Entry for the 2'nd WU and it was about 10 Minutes after the 1'st WU Reported a Result...So that probably explains the 2 Close Trickle Result Credits I would think... Probably the WU thats running 20 minutes faster will report before the other WU the next time and slowly report earlier each time until it actually circles around and will seem to report after the slower WU...
48) Message boards : Number crunching : Another Weird Result...!!! (Message 3070) Posted 5 Sep 2004 by STE\/E Post: Seems this Trickle Result got reported Twice about 3 minutes apart in my Account Data...I only received credit once for it though...Dang ;) Errrrmmm, D'oh, amend that, I may have actually received Credit Twice for it .. :0 .. I'm not really sure. But I noticed another credit increase shortly after the first Credit increase and that shouldn't have happened because the 2 WU's I'm running at once on that computer usually Report Results about an hour apart...??? 05 Sep 2004 10:12:33 11766 01kv_200027032_0 2 226842 1317765 2.7109 05 Sep 2004 10:09:42 11766 01kv_200027032_0 2 226842 1317765 2.7109

51) Message boards : Number crunching : CPDN Stats Graphic Service (Message 1356) Posted 21 Aug 2004 by STE\/E Post: hehe, when I first checked it I had somebody elses User name and stats, then I checked a few min's later and it was ok. I don't know what was up with it the first time though ...

53) Message boards : Number crunching : Exiting CPDN...??? (Message 1080) Posted 17 Aug 2004 by STE\/E Post: Ok, thanks for the info astro, I figured the inactive processes where there for some reason when I got the computation error by manually stopping one of them...Thats a no no I guess ;)
54) Message boards : Number crunching : Exiting CPDN...??? (Message 1057) Posted 16 Aug 2004 by STE\/E Post: Ok Jordan, thanks for the info on that. I will just wait then until I can get them reported, thats to much time involved & to many WU's to take a chance on losing them seeing as how I've lost 30 already that way... Hopefully the Seti Site will be up today or tommorrow ... :/ and I can get them Reported then & then decide what Project to run. I kinda like the CPDN Project because once you have a WU your good to go for quite some time ... And you don't have to deal with all the Server Outages & running out of WU's from them ... What about the Inactive intelx86.exe processes running in the Task Manager, can I end them manually...???? PS: Never mind, I found out the hard way. I ended the Process on one of the Inactive ones and got a computation error on 1 WU ... D'oh ... Well at least it gave me another WU to start working on anyway ... :) <img src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/cpdn/stats.php?userID=29">
55) Message boards : Number crunching : Exiting CPDN...??? (Message 1054) Posted 16 Aug 2004 by STE\/E Post: Yes thats what I did on that PC Jordan, just detached from Seti & Predictor so the PC wouldn't keep trying to contact them while running the CPDN WU. I have 85 Uploaded WU's but not Reported from BOINC Seti on another PC & it's about ready to run out of WU's from there. I wonder if I leave the v3.20 BOINC installed in it's own Directory and Installed CPDN Beta v4.20 in a different Directory if that would save the WU's from the Seti Project...??? I hate to lose them also ... :( I may just run Seti Classic on that one rather than take the chance on losing them... Another curious thing I notice is when I open up the Task Manager that there are 4 instances of the intelx86.exe showing there. But it looks like only 2 of them are active. hadsm3_4.02windows_intelx86.exe (Twice Inactive) hadsm3um_4.-2_windows_intelx86.exe (Twice Active - P4 HT CPU's are kewl for running 2 at once ;) ) Can I manually End the Process for the 2 inactive ones or do they need to be in the Task Manager in order for the 2 Avtive ones to run...???
56) Message boards : Number crunching : Exiting CPDN...??? (Message 1045) Posted 16 Aug 2004 by STE\/E Post: Ok Red, that seems to be the case, I shut it down again and restarted it & it took off from where it left off. I just wanted to make sure before I tried it again...Thanks Another thing I found out a little too late was when I installed the v4.02 I had about 30 Finished Seti WU's that had already been Uploaded but not Reported yet because of the Seti Site being down, well they all got wiped out when I installed it...There should be a warning on the front page or some where about that. You should have all Finished work reported and off your PC before installing the v4.02...
57) Message boards : Number crunching : Exiting CPDN...??? (Message 1040) Posted 16 Aug 2004 by STE\/E Post: When I first installed CPDN v4.02 & started running it after about 10 min's I exited the Program & when I started it back up it downloaded 2 more WU's to run. Well I've been running them ever since without exiting the Program because I'm afraid too for fear of the same thing happening. Is it possible to exit without the loss of work & new WU's being downloaded...Is there a save state file that starts the program from where you left off from or do you just have to start over each time you exit the program. As long as it takes to run one of the CPDN WU's there definitely should be one because 6-7 weeks is a long time without having to reboot or shut your computer off for one reason or another I think anyway... <img src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/cpdn/stats.php?userID=29">
