I just got 2 new models, both hadam3h. Here are the links: hadam3h_c_66s38_2000_2000_4 hadam3h_c_66s12_2000_2000_4 These 2 models do not have a \"Show Graphics\" button? Also, when I turned off Boinc the models lost 1.5 hours of compute time. They were both at 7+ hours. I shut down Boinc to restart the computer, and they now show 6 hours of compute time. How often do they save checkpoints to the disk? |

Looking into my crystal ball and using what you\'ve just said, you\'re running BOINC version 5.*, and haven\'t looked at the News and Announcements recently. These new models have graphics which are BOINC version 6 compatable. The graphics for version 6 models are not guaranteed to work on BOINC version 5 installation, in all situations of hardware/software. The only way to be sure of getting graphics is to upgrade to BOINC 6.*, AFTER reading the FAQ file linked from the Download BOINC page here. I\'m not sure about checkpoints, but there is a timer on the graphics display. This timer is made permanently visible by a new option near the bottom of the climateprediction.net preferences on your account page. If it\'s left in the default Off state, it will need to be turned on each time the Show graphics is used. Also in the same prefs, are options to select which of the different types of model will be sent to you. The hadam3 models are \'standard\' resolution models, with one or more areas run at high resolution. These are described in the last section of this page from the UK Met Off web site. Backups: Here |

If its of any interest, I find that when initially starting a hadam3h workunit, whether for the first time or after I backup/reboot, the graphics are never available till after the next trickle has been uploaded. Maybe its just patience that is required I use version 5.10.45 |

That\'s interesting. It IS possible that no one has waited that long before and found this. Thanks. |
