I am running BOINC as a service (multi user pc), and as a result the graphics are not available. My question is:- Is it possible to find out how many timesteps have passed (or what stage the WU is at) other than the percentage complete showing in the BOINC client? I don\'t mean in any dynamic way like the way the screensaver displayed, but just having a quick look somewhere occasionally to see. I\'m only curious, if it can\'t be done then that is fine. I\'m using BOINC 5.2.13 on Win XP pro SP2. Thanks. Mark L. UBT - Mark L. ID: 18358 · Reply Quote

Hi Jim, I know that my account shows the current trickle count... I was asking about timesteps though. The reason is that it takes my pc several days to get to each trickle, and because I am basically nosy (and slightly impatient - I can admit it!) it would be nice to see how many timesteps have gone by. The normal graphics display this but as I am running BOINC as a service, the graphics are not available to me. Mark L. UBT - Mark L. ID: 18417 · Reply Quote

Your Account page, and the result page for the model, shows: \"Time Sent (UTC\") \"Host ID\" \"Result ID\" \"Result Name\" \"Phase\" \"Timestep\" \"CPU Time (sec)\" and \"Average (sec/TS)\" Your model, \"sulphur_ft47_000737575_0\", shows it is up to timestep 10,802 ID: 18424 · Reply Quote

In Mark\'s case the file is projects/climateprediction/sulphur_ft47_000737575.xml. You can view the graphics in service mode if you\'re willing to change the service to local system account and set it to allow desktop interaction.

I was looking for the current timestep. \"Thyme Lawn\" has shown me where to look. Thanks for your time. Mark L. UBT - Mark L. ID: 18437 · Reply Quote
