Thanks. I've played BF2 and forgotten to turn off BOINC. Given the SLI setup (2x 6800 Ultra's), I didn't notice. No complaints, except for the fugly case and scary Alienwaqre service.

I have some three grand in E@H pending credit right now, so I'm fairly comfortable in the top TA five. 🙂
 
i added a little cpdn for some flavor. wowsa, i knew the wu's were big but i guess i really didn't comprehend that i'll be lucky to finish one this month 😛
 
thats the one. i had to do a double take.

we need a "rubbing eyes in disbelief" emoticon for that sucka.
 
can you imagine loosing one of those to a OOPS or power glitch after the first 700 hours or so?

Sounds like they kind of missed the mark on breaking a job down into manageable pieces.

But a challenge is a challenge.... I WILL do one of those some day... just to say that I did.

😀

I already thought of that and thus backup my BOINC folder every 24 hours over my LAN. 😉

you clever bastaich you 😛

i'm running it on my main rig @ 2700. now i get to learn something- where are you seeing the time step?

oh yeah, Sid, they're so big because you have to do the entire model. no pansy splitting up, lol. you gotta crunch the whole globe :Q

and thanks for the PM, gotta read it a couple times, lol

Open the gfx for CPDN and look for the line "CPU Time" in the lower left corner. At the end of the line it will say something like "(X.XX s/TS). That's how many seconds you need for a timestep. A sulphur model consists of over 750,000 timesteps, you can easily calculate how much time - on average - you'll need for the model. In your case I'd assume about 60 days or so.

🙂

 
that stinks. for some reason, i didn't think these would be the kind of wu that would crah or error.

mine is about 4-1/2 hours into it. i am only giving it 20% of one rig.
 
oh great, so i may still hit it 🙁

i thought you just started yours like the day before i? 80 hours lost. did it trickle some reults for you so you got some credit?

edit- i see now, you got 366 points. bummer.
 
Yes, three trickles = about 600 points. I claimed 1000, though. Looks like the last trickle was already damaged. 🙁

I did a lot of reading on the CPDN forums today and they're full of problems like that. All the CPDN guys say is: "your computer is faulty." Yeah, right. Some posts speak of a sulphur failing rate of 80% and I don't hink that 80% of all computers running CPDN are fubared. Especially because they always say that they don't have any probs with other BOINC DC projects. Ah well, I'm degressing ...

I will try three sulphur models for CPDN. If they all fail, good bye CPDN.
 
edited as this is a family show 😛

anyway, i'll keep an eye on mine. i seriously don't think they'll get a second chance with me. how can they be giving out 800 hour wu's that have a chance of failing? just the very nature of the project i wouldn't think there'd be much of a failure rate.

but wth do i know.

The Microsoft philosophy applied to DC projects... ya gotta love that! :disgust:

Hang in there BMC..... Some where down the road this can be one of the "I remember when..... conversations"

(and yes Rise... THAT WAS TERRIBLE 😉 ) -edit- (<----- just making fun.... not 'bad' terrible)
 
lol Christian, no it was more like one of rises jokes missing its mark, lol. i need to stay out of the gutter, i'm crowding Sid 😛

oops, just saw this- Sid-edit- (<----- just making fun.... not 'bad' terrible) . yeah it wasn't bad, just ....bad. 🙂
