I\'ve just finished a Sulphur cycle unit (about 1200 hours on this machine), and as a Christmas present to myself downloaded a new unit. It turned out to be a BBC unit, but was vast, 2450 hours. If I am to return it before the deadline, I would have to increase CPDN\'s resource share from 23 to 30%, which I don\'t want to do, as it would limit the other 3 projects on this machine. The unit never got started however, and whilst \"Running\" never changed its counters nor gave me a picture of the world in graphics view. So I aborted it, but now I can\'t get a new one for 24 hours. Is there any way I can specify that I get a smaller unit? |

Coupled models are all there is. 160 years of data crunching. I just finished two of them on two different machines. Each one took over 200 days. Remember, the deadline does not matter for CPDN. Although because of the way BOINC works, if it thinks it will not finish in time, it will go into EDF mode. It is a commitment. Some day they may have different sized units. Right now there is no choice. |

Thanks. Boo-hoo. Or should I say Pooh-hoo? |
