One of my current models seems to have developed a problem: no more credits since a few weeks whilst app is getting its fair share of CPU time. I also see progress, but BOINCs own estimate is around 25% whereas I am nearly done with phase 3

Log showed many upload errors (which I initially blamed on server issues). Did some digging yesterday and resolved the 417 errors by instructing BOINC to use HTTP1.0. Downside is that CPDN is no longer trying to upload trickles. A forced update succeeds, but no trickles.

I cannot see graphics on this host, so don't know whether I am really progressing. The logs do not appear to show anything out of the ordinary.

Both Tasks on your Windows machine were heard from today. The one on your Linux machine has been silent since 21 August. It's probably an "ice world." It's a good candidate for "abort" to get rid of it. (Slab Tasks are no longer issued.)

pindakoe,

What probably happened with that model was that it got interrupted at a key time. A crash/hang of the PC or reboot while boinc was running may have led to a problem writing progress to a file. When that happens, sometimes the model starts over at timestep 0 of phase 1. It may even keep the CPU time and therefore show very slow s/TS in the globe graphic.

If this is the case, you won't see a new trickle listed on your webpage until it progresses past the point of that last listed trickle. You also won't get any new credits with this model until it goes past that point.

This has happened to me a few times over the years, and it is frustrating. You can continue to run it if it is making progress and eventually it will finish. Or if credits are important to you, you can abort it and get a new model.

Since that is an AthlonXP, and that older processor is not compatible with the hadam3p models, I would go into your preferences and set FAMOUS as the only model to download. The model type it is running currently (hadsm3) is no longer available for download.

Thanks for the responses. Upon checking my logs I am pleasantly surprised to see that a trickle has uploaded, so the networking issues seem to have overcome (by switching to HTTP 1.0). Progress on the other hand suggests that I restarted to zero. Given the 'speed' of this host and the fact I was at end of phase 3 I have chosen to abort -- computing that last timestep will require at least another 4 month...

Now requesting a 'Famous' (downloading is a bit sluggish; we'll get there eventually).
