My box is wokring on some strange model ... take a look on this:
This is <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=242170">result</a>, just finished 48. trickle of 2. phase. Some error in stderr out is seen ... right and exit status is -185 (0xffffff47).
So now go to take a look on <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/workunit.php?wuid=234086">workunit</a> which seems really strange, "Received" on 8 Dec 2004 13:36:58 UTC??? It is still in progress. And I just got a credit for last tricklet of 2. phase.
Can anybody explain it?

And 2nd question ... This <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/trickle.php?resultid=352514">workunit</a> finished after 2nd phase, is it ok?

I just want to provide usefull results for science. Not only hunt for credit.

Why the sudden jump in Average (sec/TS)? From 10.4111 to 6.9409.

It's still usefull, even if a wu messes up. Maybe that second wu you were talking about became an iceball, who knows.

That is just one of the oddities. The entire phase 3 was shown as completed in a couple of hundred seconds but it has changed now. Maybe it got confused between phase 2 ts 259248 and phase 3 ts 259248 but the first trickle in phase 3 sorted it out. Edit (oops I think it is me that got confused - no sign of model sorting itself out.)

If you want to check out an old phase to see if there was an iceball or something, you can use MartinSykes's CPView. You do not get detail at the timestep level only seasonal averages but it is very good. Maybe soon we will get the official IDL package which is going through testing.

The error number -163 and exit status indicate that there was a startup failure because of a missing file. Despite uploading the error indication the model has managed to continue processing, and should continue to completion (when it will hopefully upload its results and update the status information).

&gt; And 2nd question ... This finished after 2nd phase, is it ok?

That looks really strange. You've been credited for a complete run but it looks like phase 3 went to TS 259248 almost immediately (and certainly without calculating any of the other trickle points).

Yes, and it happend with 2nd model too:
<a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=352514">1st<a>
<a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=352511">2nd</a>
Hm, but success at the end.
