Hi

Another 80 year model out of the way. It would have been two, except the other exploded with negative pressure at about 75%. Could be the model, could be dodgy memory I had installed for about a week (alas).

Another two 160\'s en route :)

... except the other exploded with negative pressure at about 75%. Could be the model, could be dodgy memory I had installed for about a week (alas)...

A backup is the only sure way to find out: no-one got anywhere in that work unit, or in the neighbouring units, which might have been an indicator of the cause. Good luck with the 160-year models.

I agree, alas I didn\'t have a backup, not least because the model ran correctly for a month after I replaced the faulty RAM with a good part and then crashed. Still, if I\'m not alone in having a client error with that work unit, I guess the model was at fault.

Hi Edward, congrats on your 16th climate model (8 SAP and 8 CPDN). IanM\'s model stats for team Scotland now keep track of all the climate models, including CPDN models of varying lengths, SAP and BBC models, and team Scotland members have now completed over 600 climate models altogether, as can be seen here

Good luck with the 160-year ones - I do hope you are making backups of those! ;-)

Indeed! ;-) And team Scotland members have now completed 450 CPDN models of various types, which makes 637 climate models altogether, including BBC and SAP models. see IanM\'s model stats for the team

Well done, everybody!

Ooops, sorry folks, put the wrong link in my last post, now corrected here!

Two team Scotland members have just reached major credit milestones in BOINC overall:

IanM (IanSM) has passed 1 million credits, all his credits having been earned in climate projects (CPDN, SAP and BBC)

dtkirk/labrat has passed 2 million credits, almost all in climate projects.

Very well done, Ian and Doug - keep on crunching!

Still not too many team Scotland members posting in here (those of us who post at all seem to do so mainly in the Scottish forum). I hope people are reading this thread though because I thought I\'d post about something I\'ve just noticed.

Back in the dim and distant past in BBC, I remember how excited we all got when Iain Inglis delivered team Scotland\'s first \"twins\" - two hyperthreaded models (think I\'ve got that right!). Well, looking at IanM\'s team stats for CPDN, I\'ve just noticed that adempster is in line to deliver no fewer than 8 models from his mega-computer before the end of the month. OCTUPLETS!!!!

I\'m sure everyone in the project, not just in team Scotland, has their fingers crossed for you, Adam! ;-)

I\'ll just repeat some useful team Scotland links for anyone who\'s interested:

The threads on the Oxford/PHP/independent board are:

- New members

- Completed models

- Lazy Place

... and the team forum is in my signature.

Well, only recently came across this thread so here\'s a post then.

Adam\'s megacruncher box runs those 8 (long HadCM3) models at current rates from 0.4971 s/TS to a rather slow 1.1121 !!
Amazing. I\'m pleased to get my quads runnning at 2.07 on a machine which does
no other work. They are going to all pop out at same time in May.
That\'s the plan anyway!

Incidentally, SP, was going to report today\'s missing member but see you beat me to it (somewhere in the depths of the Scottish Forum).
Just as well it wasn\'t Adam!

Cheers

IanM

P.S. Are there any emoticons here?
Like the big box for entering messages but no preview here?

Hi Ian, nice to have some moral support from a fellow team Scotland member! Haven\'t seen any of us except Iain Inglis and Edward Wright in here for ages.

I\'m sorry dasta appears to have left the team in CPDN for some reason - I think he\'s stopped crunching in this project (could have left his credits with us though!) but he still seems to be carrying on with quite a few others, so hope he\'ll stay with the team in those.

No emoticons in these BOINC-style boards - you have to import them from elsewhere by copying and pasting their \"properties\" and then bracketing the link with [img] [/img]. Those of us who started our forum careers by posting in the BBC forum learned all that stuff pretty quickly!

You\'re right about no preview - also, unlike the php forums, where you can continue to edit your posts indefinitely, there\'s a time limit for being able to edit them here - I think it\'s an hour - after which they\'re set in stone.

Best regards,

Sorry to report that one of adempster\'s \"octuplets\" appears to have bitten the dust at the weekend :-( It had a very strange error message:

Model crashed: umshell1.f: Non constant polar PSTAR found in dump? Sorry, too many model crashes! :-(

and the temperature dived right off the graph!



Having got to 2051, it will still be considered a success by the project - just not a \"completed model\" for the team total. Good luck with the remaining seven, Andy! (and apologies for previously referring to adempster as Adam! )

Hi SP

Thanks for reporting that most unusual crash cause which I\'ve never seen before. I\'m just guessing here, but maybe it means that this Earth\'s axis has tilted slightly from its proper angle, which would make the solar radiation input values invalid.

The model\'s data will be useful up to and including the last decadal file upload before this happened - probably 2020. It\'s a pity we don\'t know what the model\'s graphics looked like after things went wrong.

Any other explanations anyone?

Cpdn news

Hi Mo, weird, isn\'t it? Since adempster doesn\'t seem to post anywhere that I\'ve seen, I suppose we\'re unlikely to hear what the graphics looked like. It seems to have last trickled timestep 3,395,520. The remaining 7 models have trickled again today - it\'s looking like a race between adempster and Iain Inglis as to which team Scotland member completes the team\'s next 160-year model. Link to leading active models here

Meantime, another page of IanM\'s team stats is showing a countdown to team Scotland completing 500 CPDN models of all types! ;-) Link here - currently 17 models to go.

Congrats to Iain Inglis, who has now completed his 7th 160-year CPDN model, which is team Scotland\'s 87th. It\'s also Iain\'s own 87th climate model, counting BBC, SAP and the various units in CPDN. Quite some contribution to the project, Iain, well done! People don\'t usually \"do\" fireworks in this forum, but I think you deserve some!


Now we\'re all waiting with bated breath for the surviving 7 of adempsters \"octuplets\" to complete, due any day now. Fingers crossed!

Meantime, team Scotland members have accumulated more than 14 million credits in CPDN alone - well done, everybody!

Visit the Scotland team

Four of adempster\'s surviving 7 octuplets (or are they now considered to be septuplets, does anyone know? LOL) are reported as complete today - the others may also be complete by now, but too late for the daily stats update. No doubt all will be revealed tomorrow!

Visit the Scotland team

All 7 of adempster\'s done now, bringing the team total of complete 160-year models to 94. Well done to you and your computer, Andy!


Next up with long models look like being Iain Inglis and labrat. Egon\'s is also getting very close to completion - good luck to all of you.

These (Iain Inglis and adempster) results are magnificent achievements. Makes the rest of us with less mill-power green with envy!

Oh well, at least you\'re still making a contribution, Lockleys - I\'m not able to crunch at all at present so am doing my best to \"encourager les autres\" until I can start again myself!

Talking of which, a warm team Scotland welcome to schnopi, who has just joined us in CPDN. Thank you for joining team Scotland, schnopi, and we hope you will also come and say hello either in the Scottish forum or in one of the team threads in the climate forums - links in one of my recent posts here. ;-)
