Hi Ho.

I'm an ex-MetMan (ex UKMO that is), so I shall be able to answer many of your climatologist releated questions, such as 'Why do they all wear sandals?', 'Why do they twitch?' and 'What was so bad about Bracknell that they had to leave?'

I'm not so hot on weather questions though.

I finally completed one of these monster climate shrubs! It took 589 hours, 6 minutes, and 8 seconds. Although I feel rather like the snake fully satiated and spent after digesting an antelope, I must say these shrubs are quite beautiful! In fact "shrub" doesn't do it justice, perhaps Sequoia or Redwood better describes it, towering over the many saplings and shrubs in my meager forest, protecting them from broiling sun and bad weather. These Sequoias are uncommon, it appears fewer than 1000 have been nurtured with the BOINC client.

They're shrubs. We process shrubberies here. They're admittedly very large shrubs, but shrubs nonetheless Cool

As yes, they are the shrubs with pretty laurels. They rest are ordinary shrubs, some with a better arrangement provided by Roger the shrubber. Cool

Its not the size of the shrub its how you use it..

I've heard other projects may go to large shrubs like predictor and a vicious rumor of seti going to the larger shrubs

Some initial results have been published in Nature.

Also, there is a program similar to the SETI/Spy program, called CPDN Spy. I can't get it to work, but perhaps one of the geniuses around here Laughing

can figger it out.

My laptop got to trickle #71 and then failed to post the last one before starting on the next....don't you just hate it when that happens - but has anyone had the same problem before ?

Ni!

I added a post to their forum on sulphur cycles not running properly.

Apparently if you set BOINC to "leave app in memory while not running" it will clear up these issues. I had set my machines to clear out of current work, by setting to allow no new work, made the BOINC change mentioned, reset the project when the cache was empty, then allowed new work. All 3 machines I have done this to have been crunching their sulphur cycles for several days now.

Welcome back everyone!
#ni-1

Hooooly (Dutch Power) Cow, wazzup with these sulphur cycles? I'm used to a work unit taking 500 - 600 hours or about 3.5 weeks running 24/7. Now I've run 103 hours on a sulphur cycle and it's telling me it's gonna take another 1378 hours to finish for almost 9 weeks total running 24/7! Triple the already lengthy processing time, is that accurate?

This sulphur shrub expires on my birthday, 12/29/06, which normally would be plenty of time, but I run ClimatePrediction at only about 7% of resources. I might have to disconnect from all other projects and let this sucker CRANK for a few weeks straight to get some momentum going...

BBC is launching via news channels a callout for computers who sit idle to come and do something useful. This is the first time a mainstream, on-air, plea for computer time has been made here in the UK. Please see:

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, cool!

Interesting to see the "new" Climate program. Climate Change, aka the TC version of the program, will take very long to complete work units even by the CPDN standards. I am still contemplating joining.

As for the sulphur WU's? Some are still running but others have not completed before errors occured. None have come close to completing. The new project is where CPDN will be going in the future. As my boxes complete slabs, or it seemes inevitable, error with sulphur, I will be detaching them from CPDN. Even though there have been over 2,000 completed sulphur WU's many more have had errors and it will be eventually replaced by the TC models.
