As a mere academic exercise, there are better ways of spending my computer time.

What hurts me is that I believe ClimatePrediction is the most important project anyone could be running. That is why I have set up my boinc client to give half my spare machine time to ClimatePrediction. a quarter to World Community Grid, and an eighth each to Seti@home and Rosetta. So CP is using only about 3% of the spare time due to lack of work.

Batch 713 which went out yesterday afternoon consists of SAS50 tasks and is from the same stable as 706,707 and 708.

There's a new Pacific North-West 80-month format: 140 x batch #714 (batch list).

Moved Linux discussion in this new work thread to this thread in the Linux forum.

There's a small high-resolution batch of long models for South America: 15 x batch #715 (batch list).

All gone when I noticed :-(

Still looks like one left to download, at least at the time I posted this. My i7-7700HQ downloaded one which is queued to run. BOINC estimates a little over 96 days to complete. :-) I don't think that will be the case, but it will be interesting to see what a real estimate might be after it has run awhile. :-)

For my records, could you tell me what the GFLOPS estimate is?

In the past these 120-month models have come out in groups per-region but only SAM this time.

Device peak FLOPS = 4.61 GFLOPS on that task page.

Edit...After 2 checkpoints, the estimate is 41 days. And that is on a fast PC. I wonder when the last time was that I ran a model that took 6 weeks to finish.

... I tried to get that remaining one and it's still unsent, but I just got a bunch of 711, 712 and 713. Maybe BOINC needs a really big job deficit before sending out a long one like that.

6 weeks. I remember running models that took 9 months to finish. And that was on a single core. 1.2 GHz machine with 256 MB of RAM.

200 Caribbean 25 km models issued in batch 717. Haven't seen any from this region before.

However, if you downloaded a batch 716 model today, please abort. There was an error in an input file. Names like

wah2_cari25_p02y_201612_11_716_011507151_0 aborted by user

where cari25 is the region and resolution (Caribbean at 25km) and 716 is the batch number.

This doesn't appear to be a CORDEX region, so if anyone gets one of these models (maybe batch 617 survives), I would be very grateful for a copy of the small model Zip file (usually ~16 kB), from which the area can then be plotted.

[Edit: Scratch that - just got one.]

Two new batches, 719 and 720. SAM25 AND SAM50 respectively.

Just over 7,000 left according to server status page when I looked.

Another 13-month batch at 50 km for South America: 6,000 x batch #721 (batch list).

A big batch of PNW25/24 and a small number of Caribbean spin-ups: 20,000 x batch #723 and 10 x batch #724 (batch list).

Two new batches of SAS50 tasks have gone out 725 and 726. Also a small batch of global models 727. If any problems on these please let us know as they are a test batch gone out here as testing site currently down.

Edit: Couldn't find any of 727 when hunting around so it may be that these haven't made it yet due to transitioner and feeder problems.

As the old jokes goes, I’ve got good news and bad news. The good news is that download of WU’s are starting again. The bad news is that they are from old batches. I just downloaded 4 WU’s from batches 660, 664 (2 WU's) and 666. All are from 2017. Are they still needed and wanted or just zombies?

---

Batch 660 is still open, but both 664 and 666 are closed.

Thanks Les. Will. Will keep 660 and abort the Zombies.

---

I just got 2 more WU’s (batches 696 and 713) Could someone please tell me where I can find which batches are still open a which are closed.
