Metalius\'s model that couldn\'t upload its #1 and #2 files is here.

Metalius, has Boinc tried to upload these files again?

We have had no other forum reports of HadAM3P zip files refusing to upload. Most of the moderators haven\'t got any to try with because we\'re running Beta models on a different server. So Jim, it would be very useful if you could allow at least one of your HadAM3P models to complete and see whether all 3 of its files upload. We would then have a clearer idea whether only Metalius is having this problem or everybody.

Any reports about successful or failed HadAM3P #1 and #2 zip file uploads would be very welcome!

Cpdn news

I had a hadam3p complete and upload all files successfully last night. No unusual messages in the messages tab. Another one should complete in an hour or two.

Metalius, has Boinc tried to upload these files again?

Yes, I pressed today \"Retry now\" many times.
How it \"works\"...
1. After few seconds BOINC is dropping down transfer speed to 1.nn KBps.
2. After few minutes it stops at all...

P.S. I upgraded BOINC from 6.6.36 to 6.10.18 - no difference.
P.S. That host has quite fast internet connection and it is working.

Good news. One of my AM3Ps just finished and all 3 zip files uploaded successfully. So the server must be working. Messages below:

My 2nd hadam3p model finished and uploaded fine.

Happy New Year. The second AM3P finished and uploaded all zip files without trouble so the server must be working right. The problem must be in Metelius\' computer and or network.

---

Yes, the problem was in my computer. I don\'t know, who and how did it... Maximum upload and download rates were set to very low values.
My apologies, dear friends!

---

I glad that you found the source of the problem.
I\'ve thought about it on and off, but couldn\'t think what it might be. Wouldn\'t have thought of that in a long time. :)

Hello friends

any one else having troubles uploading or just me ?

A server is down.

One of the upload servers is temporarily down.

I\'m posting about this in the news thread now. Only #1 file should be stuck. #3 should be able to upload.

Cpdn news

As I suspected, the server is close to full, which initiates an automatic shutdown. It\'s being addressed, but slowly.

Perhaps people could crunch some of the longer models.
The physicists who run those sub-projects would probably like some data for their research too. :)

This would also be a good time for people who aren\'t currently subscribed to the News and Announcements thread to do so, as this is where progress on this matter will be posted.

Edit
Beaten to it. :)

Les, MO.V, jckcpdn _ Hello _


yes thank you for your sugession, i did\'nt know about this, so I have decided to crunch some of the longer models, perhaps more data for the scientists ??

to select longer models is the following corect ??

go to my account --> Preferences --> Resource share and graphics --> open climateprediction.net preferences --> click the \"Edit climateprediction.net preferences\" --> check the little box for the Application - HadCM3 - 80 model years (Variable up to 160 model years) --> then unselect the other 4 Application --> then update preference ??

thanks in advance
Byron

Close.
Step 1) Go to the Server Status page to the left, or the Applications page, also to the left.
2) Note which model types are currently available.
3) < Insert your steps here >


The 80/160 year models haven\'t been available for some time, and may not be back.
The hadsm3 (slab), and hadsm3 (Mid-Holocene), are the only other ones at present.
Slab is 3 phases, and M-H is similar with 4 phases.
More info here.

Re. crunching longer (Slab and MH) Work Units: Both of Janet\'s quads have Slab files stuck in the upload queue. No problem getting new work

The servers are running out of storage space.
Data is being moved, but the progress is slow.
If someone has a few spare giga-terabyte HDs lying around that they could donate ..... :)

As in you want to use a couple of TB drives on my server, or you want me to send you a couple of TB drives?

Cheers
David

Darn, ran out of time to edit, which reads as follows:

EDIT: Actually, thinking about it some more, I could simply switch four TB drives in a mirror array (2TB total) to a crunch box and you can run the whole thing from your end. At long as it keeps crunching the MH climate models, for Iain\'s Iceworld study, I don\'t really care what else it does, I am happy. I don\'t view disk storage as particularly CPU intensive. I would give you a i7 running Windows 7 I also have a couple of oil cooled 5970 blocks on order (Milkyway/Collatz), so it would be easy to cool the HD\'s if required. The CPU is already oil cooled.

Iain has my email it you wish to take up this offer.

Sorry, been out for a while.
I was joking about the donation, but thanks for the offer. :)

While the project does need more storage, this will need to be \"on site\", meaning servers scattered around various buildings belong to different depts of the Uni of Oxford.

It\'s a long process to get approval for funding, server sitting, etc, and some of the places with rack space are a bit inaccessible for hardware upgrades.
What the project possibly really needs, is a large building of it\'s own, with lots of space for server racks, and plenty of room to expand.
And an enclosed area nearby for the flying pigs. :)

So expect upload difficulties for a while.
