Today after 615 hours of work and some 500 left to go climate uploaded result, the remaining 500 hours went puff on my system and I can find no result for the upload on the results page.

What happened?

---

Was there anything useful in the \'messages\' tab? (or if you\'ve restarted since, in the log files? (something like stderrgui.txt, stderrdae.txt)).

I don\'t see any trickles since the beginning of December, were you running off-line?

No, running on-line all the time as usual. The messages tab looks normal. Says reporpting 1 result 09:39:50 27 feb 2006 (EST).

Have not trickled for 615 hours. Figured climate changed.
begs the question \"why are the work units so preposterously lage\"?

The FAQ.
You are modeling the Earth\'s atmosphere. This is not a trival matter.

The FAQ.
You are modeling the Earth\'s atmosphere. This is not a trival matter.

If it were trivial I wouldn\'t be wasting my time with it. But no one has addressed the issue: what happened?

I was pointing out that the size of the wus aren\'t \"preposterously large\", just normal for the work being undertaken.

As far as anyone can tell from looking at the pages for the 2 models currently shown as still active on your computer, nothing has gone wrong. Which is why you were asked to provide the messages.

The two files are stdoutdae.txt, and stderrdae.txt, both in the BOINC folder.
Until we have more info, there\'s nothing we can tell you, other than that:

sulphur_dm7r_000635319_0 had it\'s first trickled on 01 Dec 2005 03:49:34, and nothing since. If it\'s still running, there should be a large number of trickle_up_... files in the folder of this model.

sulphur_dzmm_000652702_0 was sent to you on 2 Dec 2005 12:24:43 UTC, and shows no trickles. The same applies to trickles from this model.

Right. Where would you like me to send the files?

There\'s something odd about the dates/times listed on your account, so I\'m looking into it.

Re: sending files. If you mean trickles, BOINC does that. If you mean the std... files, I just want a copy and paste of some of the messages at the end. 10-20 lines from stdoutdae.txt should do.

Well that explains the slow progress. Your pc is busy with other projects.
I\'m still working on why your message of the 28th isn\'t on the server.

There are no significant errors in the log, are there any entries in there from when your project failed?

I did notice the \'removed from memory\' though, that\'d be slowing you down (but won\'t be involved in your project\'s failure).

Les,

Things really have not changed. I have been running lots of projects for quite a while. Climate used to update fairly regularly no problem. It is only since December that the climate project didn\'t trickle at all and bloated to a large proportion. To repeat nothing else has changed as far a BOINC is concerned.

One other thing: since this issue started a few days ago I have not received any new work from climate. All other projects proceeding along par for the course.

I don\'t have all the answers. And possibly not all the questions.
However here are a few fragments.

From your messages:
> Unrecoverable error for result 3puv_100195221_1 ( - exit code -1073741502

The error code is rather obscure, but may have something to do with a Microsoft conflict. Upgrading to the latest drivers for the video card has helped a few people.

Also, model 3puv_100195221_1 was issued to you on 15 Nov 2005 and last trickled on 12 Jan 2006 08:19:06
There were 49 trickles, just into the start of phase 3, and the phase 1 and 2 graphs are on the page for that model. It is Result ID 1191626 if you want to look at it.

What it has been doing between the trickle on 12th Jan, and the crash on 27th Feb may never be known.

You have two other models currently allotted to your computer:
sulphur_dm7r_000635319_0, which is Result ID 1310656, issued 29 Nov 2005, with one trickle on 01 Dec 2005 03:49:34,
and sulphur_dzmm_000652702_0, which is Result ID 1328152, issued 2 Dec 2005, with no trickles.

Anything else is a bit of a mystery, and I don\'t know what to advise.
I only run cpdn, so I don\'t have the problem of BOINC trying to juggle the time share allocation against all the deadlines, etc.

I think what I would do in your position, is set all projects to \'No new work\', suspend any climate models shown, and let all the others run down.
Then I\'d unsuspend the climate models and try to get them working, perhaps with Update. Once they seemed to be working, with a few days of trickles, I\'d try for some of the other projects.

The only other suggestion is Good Luck. You may need it.
