I did not fin the exitcode on this one. Is it hardware failure on my PC or is it the model?
Should I restore rom backup?

There is nothing mentioned on that model\'s web page:

http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=7192296

I think the server thinks the model is still running.

The model uploaded the files but what else I dont know. I restored from backup anyway to see if it can be saved. The status in boinc says \"computation error\"
I will contiue, and if it crashes again I will post here aout it.
Nice if u can tell me when you know
Thank you

Steinar

And what does this mean?

It happened right now..

A record is kept of server contacts. When a lower sequence number is encountered, a new Computer ID is generated. (You can merge the two in your account.) Not sure why a new Cross-project ID was deemed necessary.

[Edited for typo.]

When you merge computer records, don\'t you always get a new computer CPID on that project?

The model that crashed has, after restore, passed the point where it crashed.
I therefore consider it a \"problem on my PC\" and keep on crunching (and take frequent backups :-)

Progress, good for you!

Greetings from coastal Washington state, the scenic US Pacific Northwest.

One of my models finished and uploaded after 38% of it was finished. I dont find the place where I can see if it was my PC or if it was the model\'s \"foul\".

Restored from backup and started it again. Could someone see if everything is OK with the WU and that I should continue to crunch it?

-I assume the \"system\" will recognize the zip-file that uploaded yesterday, and will be uploaded a 2\'nd time..

Thank you

Here is the model\'s result page:

http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=7192283


I see one \'negative theta\' followed by a group of six \'ocean UV\' errors. Intermittent errors are often a sign that there was a floating point error or a memory error, but there is only one of these so I\'m not sure. It may be worth running 24 hours of Prime95 (one copy per core, use the -A flag) or similar to confirm that the PC\'s hardware is behaving OK. (Basically I can\'t tell whether it was the PCs or models fault - the negative theta is pointing towards the PC, but there is only one of them so not conclusive).

I\'d give it 50/50 of being able to resume beyond the crash, but only if you have a backup older than a couple of model years or so (it will have already retried a single model year).

I restored, and after a while one of the models got a blue world, restored from backup again to see what happens. Hard to give up the models... want to run them to the end but will wait and see.
Report here again if the model braks down again.

Thank you
Steinar

I had a beta HADSM-type model where the temperature graph turned blue. I ran it again from a backup and it developed normally. So I had to assume the problem was some instability in the computer. Another member helped me find the probable cause.

But other blue-world models turn blue for every computer that tries them.

A model failed again. Is it the same model that failed? I dont know if it is possible to see but a model has failed three times in less than a week.

It was exit code 22 but prime 95 was OK for 24 hrs. is it maybe too much with 4 models at the same time? (Q6600 Asus P5K-VM)

I hope it is 1 model that causes the trouble and not all, cause then it may be the PC

All of the models have unique names, so it should be possible to tell if it\'s the same one each time.

And the point of this research is NOT to make a model run for the full amount of time, it\'s to see just how far it gets with it\'s starting values.
Some of these are bound to fail, and one just has to accept this.
They are the ones that say to the physicists: This set of values for this set of parameters doesn\'t replicate a viable climate model. Which is what they want to know.

Sure :-) But if it can reach the end it should..
