Usage Bug : One version of WAH2 needs to be renamed!

The two current WAH2 programs are very different binaries.

One will probably work fine on the x86-64 CPU you have -- but probably not both.

One application seems to work for my computer configuration, where the other crashes before reaching even 5%!


? ? ?

Where is the renaming needed?

1. The website area where you choose what apps you want to run
-- http://climateapps2.oerc.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/prefs.php?subset=project

This 1st option will be updated when the BOINC server is asked for a site upate, and only requires under 40 bytes (or less) of table text to be altered.


2. EQUALLY IMPORTANT : in the "Tasks" bar text column "Application".

Only about 40 bytes of back end website text would need to be changed, so not a huge alteration.

NB NB NB NB NB

BOTH LOCATION NEED TO HAVE AND USE STANDARDIZED "CALL LETTER LIKE" NAMES FOR EACH OF THE APPS BEING RUN.


WHY THE CURRENT PROBLEM EXISTS
- Both apps have 7.08 Version Numbers! (as far as I can tell)


APP NAME STANDADIZATION IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE EXTRA USER CONFUSION IS COMING WITH

NB NB NB

Probably haveing 2 letters (after the WAH2) in the user interface is enough to tell the apps apart ... but 2 or 5 letters would really help to tell these apps apart best.


Examples

(WAH2-MX)

(WAH2-ACE)

You're confusing application names with usage names.

Under the Application column you should see this: (wah2) or (wah2_ri)
Under the Task name column, you'll see the area that particular model is looking at.

There are 2 different version numbers. See the apps page here

(And that page may indeed need a label change for the bottom one.)

As an addendum, it's to be noticed that WAH2's ability to support widely varying areas (e.g. EU vs SAS) creates a credit anomaly where the run-time differs substantially. Thus the credit rate for SAS50/13 is ~1.75 that of EU25/12 for v7.08. I assume this is an intractable problem as credit rates are determined on a per application basis (or per application version).

At present, there does not seem to be any way to select a particular area (i.e., EU or SAS thus far) on WAH2. Will that capability be added at some time?

And what about new projects (e.g, "Transition Into The Anthropocene (TITAN)"). Will they be selectable, or just included as a whole into WAH2?

Thanks

As I recall from an email a few weeks back, they'll all get lumped together in the one area. The only separate items are for WaH2, and WaH2-ri.

So it's the application that gets "selected", not the "area of interest".
A bit of a "lucky dip".
