It is weird, Nick. I notice that only one cpu is processing CP. He may need cycles
for other uses. Perhaps these other uses clashed with CP at phase change?

And have you noticed that all Macs before me, (currently at 93), have results that have failed
or are unknown? (Bit of a problem at the moment: 3rd page of Top Computers is missing).

Has anyone written a prog to see how many results have failed, and how many have
completed without failing?

Backups: Here

I have one machine, <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/show_host_detail.php?hostid=76562">'Dilly'</a> that has upchucked on the majority of her 8 results in her seond incarnation, (merge is not available to Dilly Mk2. :lol: ) She upchucked <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=427444">one result late last night in only 4.5 minutes..!</a> I guess I was more than a little too enthusiastic overclocking her back to much the same settings she had handled okay whilst watercooled...

Dilly's only hobbling along at the moment, she's fitted with a lousy overclocking Tbred B 2400+ that is only air-cooled but on yet another new Abit NF7 whilst I sort through some watercooling gear plus assembling &amp; 'tweaking' my new dual Xeon - 'Caroline' MkX will be the #1 priority for quite some time methinks... :D

The Barton 2500+ that Dilly was running refused to reboot after a shutdown yesterday morning - I dunno what's wrong with it - maybe Barton's suffer from 'Northwood Sudden Death Syndrome' too but after a longer period of time overVolted. I don't push OverVolting toooo far anyways - it increases the power you have to dissipate through the cooling system rather a lot for very little extra speed anything much above 10% OverVolt for the particular core, or thereabouts. (I OverVolt my spec 1.45Vcore XP-M CPUs by up to 28% (1.85Vcore) but that is okay for a CPU that is underVolted at spec' IMNSHO - I was running one 1.65V spec Barton at 1.9Vcore but I've backed her off to 1.85V with Dilly's Barton going 'tits-up' for no apparent reason. 1.85V is only 12% above the 1.65Vcore spec' for many higher-end Barton &amp; Tbred XPs. That darn Barton took an NF7's BIOS flash chip with it too when it died. :-( I've got a few spare lower-end CPUs but no spare BIOS chips - I'm running Tracy with her BIOS chip extracted and fitted to Marion at the moment. :lol: (I always setup the BIOS to shadow copy into RAM at boot 'cause RAM's faster than flash memory. ;)

I had noticed that the 'Top Computers' page with my quickest machine on (Emma, Host #140, is currently in 77th place.) ie.61~80 <b>weren't</b> displaying properley - I wonder what <b>was</b> up with that..? (It's fixed as of now - thanks CP website guys. :-) )

The same thing happened on <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=394873">one of my systems</a> at the weekend. BOINC network access was disabled at the time and it's been recorded as completing with an upload error (which seems a bit strange as a couple of other models completed normally and waited until I re-enabled network access before trying to upload).
It looks like my model bombed out right at the start of phase 3.

stdout_um.txt contains the line:

Model abandoned: UM has aborted the model

and stderr_um.txt contains:

OPEN: File tmp/p0_dummy Created on Unit 60
BUFFIN: C I/O Error - Return code = 16
OPEN: File dataout/1wg1ca.da4???? Created on Unit 22

There are 6 instances of the second line and 97 lines matching the format of the third line, with "????" ranging from "04c0" to "19m0". I have copies of the unsent upload files if they're likely to be of any use to anyone.

Another curious thing is how close the experiment numbers for these 2 models are. Mine was 1wg1_100109610_4 and the other was 1wi2_100109684_2, but unfortunately it looks like neither is going to be completed by anyone else :(
