This is the message being logged. I aborted the first unit that I was sent as it was really slowing up my computer and not allowing by other boinc projects to run. I switched my preference to the shorter model and asked to update. I seem now to be asking for no work and am receiving the 0 seconds of work I asked for. I can understand if they don\'t have any work to give, but I am worried that something is wrong with my settings.

This is probably because cpdn has \'had it\'s fair share of time\' for now, and the other projects are in \'pay back time\'.
This is normal for BOINC, and is what would have happened anyway if you had waited.

Resource share is LONG term, over a few weeks, not hour by hour.
And when you add a climate model to the mix, it can be over a couple of months until BOINC \'works out a schedule\' for how long to run the long models as well as the short ones.

Just keep waiting. Sooner or later it will be time to get a new climate model.

What Les says about sharing with other projects is right - it all sorts out in the end. However, there is a significant difference between climateprediction.net and other projects, which is the \'trickling\' of intermediate results. This happens because the tasks are so long.

In the message log, each trickle looks something like this:

[i][size=9]26/06/2008 20:09:02|climateprediction.net|Sending scheduler request: To send trickle-up message.  Requesting 0 seconds of work, reporting 0 completed tasks
26/06/2008 20:09:07|climateprediction.net|Scheduler request succeeded: got 0 new tasks[/size][/i]

The message is rather silly: if it\'s not requesting any new work or reporting a completed task, it ought just to say ...

[i][size=9]26/06/2008 20:09:02|climateprediction.net|Sending scheduler request: To send trickle-up message.
26/06/2008 20:09:07|climateprediction.net|Scheduler request succeeded.[/size][/i]

... but it doesn\'t. So, if you\'re seeing messages like that, they\'re quite normal.

Different model types sent trickles at different times, and credits are allocated when trickles are received, rather than having to wait until the model is finished.
