It would be nice to have the temperature graph back on the site :)

I remember that in the previous version of the model, there was a graph showing the progress up to the current point in the computation process. You could also view regional temperatures :): http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=5110258 (This was my previous model, which gave a deterministic error very late because the output has diverged, and one way you could tell was by looking at the graph.) However, with the latest version, it no longer shows :( http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=6041361 I personally liked this feature. I wonder why it was removed... :( Best wishes, Stefan. |

Rumour has it that it\'ll be worked on this coming week, I\'d guess that the reason the results page wasn\'t updated originally was that at the time of issuing the new version, Carl + Tolu were rushed off their feet ... I'm a volunteer and my views are my own. News and Announcements and FAQ |

Wish granted. Carl has fixed things. |

Many thanks and congratulations to the entire CPDN technical team for managing to keep the project up and running even when the project is, as far as I\'ve heard, quite understaffed! Keep up the good work! ;) Cheers, Stefan. Wish granted. |

Sometimes the graph server runs behind the trickle server, so you get temporary gaps. I'm a volunteer and my views are my own. News and Announcements and FAQ |

I hope that when you say you\'re backing up \"the project directory\", that you mean BOINC and all folders/files under it. Just backing up the c:\\program files\\boinc\\projects folder is useless. In this new type of model, ALL trickles upload some actual data, which is where the graph data comes from. At least I think so, because you get graphs after the 1st trickle. But it does seem strange that you\'ve missed so much. If you got the message Succeeded for the zip transfer, then the data should be at Oxford. But hang on to the zip just in case. |

Hi Les, I hope that when you say you\'re backing up \"the project directory\", that you mean BOINC and all folders/files under it. Oh, of course, I mean the entire BOINC directory, not just the \'projects\' subdirectory (BOINC client state + CPDN state). Actually, I wrote a small java program that does this automatically and additionally, makes sure that I keep the last 3 most recent backups (it names them based on the timestamp of the backup). It has saved my models a few times from demise (once I ran out of disk space, etc.). I was thinking to extend this program to do other things too: * also make the backup of the uploaded .zip files automatic * take care of the \"send trickle only if model is alive\" cycle (enable network access, send trickle, disable network access) - this could be accomplised by the boinccmd command * take care of the \"restore from backup if model has died\" case (but this should only be done with care, maybe a limited number of failures and depending on the output error code, because the model might deterministically fail due to divergent temperatures for example, in which case you shouldn\'t keep restoring the backup) The simple backup program I have now does not run all the time, only periodically (I use Scheduled tasks unded Windows, crontab under Linux), so it takes up no resources. Maybe, if I have time in this winter vacation, it would be a nice idea to extend it and maybe share it with some users to see if it helps. I probably would need to rewrite it in C then, because not everybody has Java installed on their system.
Yes, indeed, the upload has succeeded for sure (below is an excerpt from my stdoutdae.log): 2006-10-27 17:22:13 [climateprediction.net] Restarting task hadcm3ohc_1jzn_05620922_0 using hadcm3 version 515 2006-10-28 03:28:30 [---] Resuming network activity 2006-10-28 03:28:31 [climateprediction.net] Sending scheduler request to http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc_cgi/cgi 2006-10-28 03:28:31 [climateprediction.net] Reason: To send trickle-up message 2006-10-28 03:28:31 [climateprediction.net] (not requesting new work or reporting completed tasks) 2006-10-28 03:28:31 [climateprediction.net] Started upload of file hadcm3ohc_1jzn_05620922_0_1.zip 2006-10-28 03:28:40 [climateprediction.net] Scheduler request succeeded 2006-10-28 03:31:12 [climateprediction.net] Finished upload of file hadcm3ohc_1jzn_05620922_0_1.zip 2006-10-28 03:31:12 [climateprediction.net] Throughput 34637 bytes/sec 2006-10-28 03:33:33 [---] Suspending network activity - user request But if the server missed some trickles, I should have got a partial graph, not exactly the first 10 years missing... Hmmm, it seems kind of confusing, isn\'t it? Warm regards, Stefan. |

I\'m missing the same years on the resurrected graphs so the problem is more generic, methinks. "We have met the enemy and he is us." -- Pogo Greetings from coastal Washington state, the scenic US Pacific Northwest. |
