I noticed strange computing of hadsm3mh_kl5c_006010988_7〠Time remaining increasing and Percentage decreasing. I am not sure but it occurred at about 78% point and after I had restarted BOINC. Elapsed time is normally increasing and no error message is read. Thanks. |

It looks rather like a Windows/Intel \"iceworld\", which slows down dramatically and shows a uniformly blue appearance in the temperature graphic. Some iceworlds eventually make progress but at a very slow rate; others just loop indefinitely. There is another Windows/Intel model in the same work unit possibly stuck at the same point. If the model is indeed an iceworld, then the usual advice is to abort it, which will be rather frustrating in your case as the model had made a lot of progress. There is more discussion about this issue here. |

Hi Iain. Thank you for your quick response. I mend to say about the percentage. It was not 78% but 84%. There are new symptoms. Both Time remaining and Percentage are fluctuating. There is BOINC logo but no graphics shown. I do not know when it disappeared. I will abort the model. The pity is that only 16% are left to completion. Thank you again. |

Bearing in mind that the aim of these models is to see how far they run using the starting values for their parameters, whatever percentage they reach when they fail is OK. It all adds to the knowledge of what leads to a long time stable model. Backups: Here |
