Hi --
After a hard restart of the computer (power outage) BOINC showed status Running but my Windows Task Manager showed 0% cpu time. I could not correct this so I unattached from the project and then reattached. I had hoped/assumed it would continue with my two workunits but it appears the two workunits I had were wiped out from my computer and are now lost. BOINC has downloaded a new workunit and is working on that. I was wondering what happens to those work units I lost? Is the partial work done on them still useful to ClimatePrediciton.net or are the lost (and sometime in the future resent to do-over to another computer)? I\'m not concerned about the credit only just hoping Climateprediction still can use the hundreds of cpu hours that went into those units.
Thank you!

Unattaching starts over with a clean slate. Regarded as a last ditch attempt to get BOINC to restart.

After about 6 weeks of not hearing from a model, (via trickles), the server will mark the data set for re-assignment.

You need to have completed at least one phase, and uploaded the trickles, to have any useful info from a model, and even then it\'s mostly for research students to go through to look for possible failure patterns.
Some people have crashed very near the end of a model. It\'s a tough project because of what it is trying to achieve. (See the Science info in the menu to the left.)
