Message Type: Information Message

This Message means that the BOINC Client Software has completed a process and is in the process of "packaging" the Result Data File for upload to the Project's Data Server. The reason that this is done is to conserve Network Bandwidth and to make the communication process less of a burden on those that are still using slower 56 K baud Dial-Up Modems to communicate with the Internet.

With a compression ratio, or compression percentage, in the high double digits we get a considerably smaller file that has to be sent.

At the moment, only Einstein@Home and Climateprediction.net are using the file compression for Result Data Files.

Line-By-Line Explanation

1. Resuming result '(result)' using '(science application)' version '(version)'
   • The Result in-progress is restated from the last Checkpoint.
2. adding: '(file)' (deflated '(number)'%)
   • The Result Data File is compressed.
3. request_reschedule_cpus: process exited
   • Because the CPU is now idle, lets put it back to work!
4. Computation for result '(result)' finished
   • This Result is done. Yea! Team!
5. Pausing result '(result)' (left in memory)
   • We pause the current Result/Work Unit.
6. Started upload of '(file)'
   • The BOINC Daemon initiated an upload action with the Einstein@Home Project.
7. Finished upload of '(file)'
   • The BOINC Daemon completed the data transfer to the Project's Data Server.
8. Throughput 'x' bytes/sec
   • The measured speed of transfer over the Internet connection.
   • Sometime later, in another space and time ...
9. Resuming result '(result)' using '(science application)' version '(version)'
   • We start to process the next Result from this Work Unit.
