Hello! A few days ago my computer crashed while processing a CPDN work (95 % done). The crashed file was uploaded and bonic started processing a new WU form the transient coupled project. Some days later my windows crashed. Of course I could back-up my boinc folder. After that I recovered my windows-partition from an image (including an old boinc folder). I started windows and I copy my back-up into the old boinc folder. Now CPDN begun to process the old formly crashed hdsm-WU and not the actual trancient coupled WU (over 20 Hours of processing time). My question are: 1. I granted credits for my crashed WU and the state was switched to done. Will I get any credits while processing the crashed WU? 2. Is it possible to switch to the trancient coupled WU before or after the end of the hdsm-WU processing? How? Thank you for your answers! Nowi |

1) Yes, although the sulphurs are of less interest now than they were to the project. Since it\'s about 60% done, it\'s a difficult call to say whether you should continue with it or start another coupled model (Much more and I\'d have said stick with it, much less and I\'d have said start another). 2) You can always suspend or abort the sulphur model, and then a coupled model should download. If you suspend the sulphur model, tnen re-enable it after the download, they\'ll take turns to run, but you may get into a \'computer is overcommited\' situation. You have a fast machine, so the models shouldn\'t take too long to run. I'm a volunteer and my views are my own. News and Announcements and FAQ |

Thank you MikeMars UK! I cancelled the project. Now I have another problem. There are more than forty WU in my result directory on the CPDN server. My boinc don´t download them. See also the my question in an other threat! Greetings Nowi |

Thank you MikeMars UK! Actually, boinc downloaded 69 CPDN Work Units for your machine. 68 are shown as \'In progress Unknown New\' and the second one terminated by you (error -197). Nearly all were downloaded today (don\'t know how the daily limit was over-ridden). Since you\'ve canceled the Project, it\'s okay to simply delete the unused Work Unit Folders.

Thank you MikeMars UK! Hi AstroWX, I think that it was a general problem. Of course I couldn´t download any file until 13:00 GMT. A lot of these WUs have nearly the same timestamp. I looks a little bit like a multiple request to the scheduler, but I don´t know why. I hope that the unused WUs can be restored. Thank you Nowi |

I think it\'s a problem when I was upgrading the boinc server software. I\'ll keep an eye on it though. |
