This behavior is by design. One of the workunits on your computer is in danger of missing it\'s deadline, by processsing the workunit with the earliest deadline first the odds of meeting that deadline improve dramatically.

If you are running a sulfur model you should upgrade to client 5.2.8 or later. The earlier 5.x.x clients were pretty stubborn when they overestimated the time to completion. This might give you enough slack to resume round-robin scheduling.

Hello,
I\'m running client 5.2.12 and also get the message that computer is overcommitted. I was running 2 projects but removed one and now only run sulphur model. Computer is still overcommitted and is doing nothing !!
How can I solve this ?

What is posted on the Messages Tab? If only CPDN is active in boinc it should run, regardless of the overcommitted condition. (CPDN accepts late work, with full credit.)

Have you tried quitting CPDN & boinc and restarting? (Boinc Tab Commands > Suspend, wait a few seconds, then File > Exit.)

Hello AtroWX,

I rebooted and that solved the problem, CPDN is now actually running. Didn\'t believe it would be that simple

Thanks

Excellent! Wish every problem could be solved as easily.
