Well it is a BOINC project right?

There are many interesting models coming up but with this ignorance from the staff I could just drop the little single core I still run.

My team wants help on other projects.

How many times do we have to say it? Pending credit is NOT used in cpdn. It's just something that BOINC does, ignore it.

And the current problems with the credits system are explained in THIS thread, but it's now buried a long way down.

As I have suggested before, perhaps a "sticky" on CPDN Credit would save on referrals to replies buried in other threads. You surely have better things to do than deal with these almost constant queries and niggles.

P.S.

I know there is a sticky on Pending Credit, but I was thinking more about the Credit updating etc.

Right, there's now a sticky at the top of this section.

And one at the top of getting started.

The credit scripts have now been run.
Make the most of it. I won't be asking them again until Christmas.

Sure, you asked about 5 days too early. Just kidding, I had a few Full Models I will be finishing here in a couple days and it would have been nice to see it all post, but I understand others have been waiting a lot longer, and it's not just all about me.

Nice to interact with you again Les, been way too long. I'm not over here as often as I used to be. Just filling some time doing a few models here with my fastest machines and amazed that they get done in such a short time from ages past.

Example the same model my old C2Q (still running strong) took almost 2 million seconds running all 4 cores, now these models on my newer I7 4th generation took under 850 thousand seconds running 6 cores with HT on, plus being the machine I use for everyday tasks. If I turned off HT, stopped using it for personal use and ran just the 4 cores it would even be faster.

I see credits updated again yesterday :) Does that mean the script problem has been fixed?

I haven't received any credit for these completed tasks:

Is anyone else having the same problem?

The answer is in the posts before yours.
Keep reading, you'll get there. :)

I see credits updated again yesterday :) Does that mean the script problem has been fixed?

Clearly not. For anyone who just visit this thread and doesn't scroll down, the credits script is being run according to a sudo-random number generator based largely on when one of the project staff has the time to do it untill they have time to resolve the problems with the script which result in it granting spurious credits when run automatically.

BOINCstats, Boincsynergy and Free-DC don't show new credits since 24 December. Is the export function broken again?

The Netsoft stats at the bottom of my Account page matches the total further up the page, and the export files are shown as last created about 5 pm on the 26th.
BOINCstats says their last files were on the 23rd.
So possibly an external problem.

Fixing problems from the recent attack will get priority next week.

I see that the credit script hasn�t run in several days. Does this have something to do with the front page being down, or is there a different problem?

The script ran about three hours ago: http://climateapps2.oerc.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/stats/. But the external sites won't be able to collect statistics from the primary url, and won't update unless they have implemented that backup collection location.

Hi Richard that explains the external sites but I seem to be having problems getting any credit at all from my account page or boinc manager either, for at least the last 3 or 4 days. (Only with CPDN)

Is anyone else having the same problem or just me? Or am I missing something?

TIA

It's not just you, my credit hasn't updated since 1st Jan. One of my two boxes hasn't contacted the main site since 2nd as it is running beta tasks which at the moment don't seem to accrue credit but the desktop machine has been contacting the main site daily.

The beta site I understand. The credit script over there is broken and hasn�t run in over a year. I am running beta tasks on 2 cores and don�t expect to ever see credits from there.

What I was talking about is that there has not been a update on the graph in the �Statistics� tab in Boinc Manager since about Dec. 30. The graphs have flatlined. I am running tasks from the main site on 8 cores and they are sending trickles.

---

Currently I only have one core out of 4 running stuff on main site but the share ration means that does change from time to time. Beta didn't have any tasks going last time I looked so unless that changes I will soon be downloading some more tasks from main site.

However the box that is running tasks from main site has as you not for yours flatlined the graph since new years day despite trickles being sent.

Yea my tasks are trickling & otherwise seem to be working correctly but since sometime after the new year(1st or 2nd) haven't been receiving credit after trickles.

Like this one for example http://climateapps2.oerc.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=17653243
And this one that was completed on the 2nd & is awaiting it's final trickle. http://climateapps2.oerc.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=17591001
And a few others just the same. I've only started doing some work here again after a long period crunching elsewhere so i'm wondering is this considered normal? Or is something indeed wrong?

It is certainly not unusual here. Until the other week the credit script was having to be run manually. This was because it was granting exorbitant amounts of credit when run automatically. It has gone wrong in other ways a number of times, usually not running because something needs to be manually restarted. The credits always get sorted out eventually. Just that it can sometimes take a few days and with no one being in at Oxford over holidays there is probably the usual backlog of other things to catch up with as well before the credits come to the top of the pile.
