I know there's no CPDN work available at the moment. But I notice that my BOINC client hasn't actually requested any new CPDN tasks for quite a while. The project's not suspended, nor is its work fetch.

I wasn't expecting any task requests while the machine was still processing the HadCM3N and HadAM3P PNW tasks it had until recently; but the HadCM3N completed on 18th May and the HadAM3P just over 48 hours ago, since when there've been no climateprediction.net messages at all in my BOINC Manager Messages log. The other four projects on the machine are behaving as expected.

I don't know if it's relevant, but the reporting of the HadAM3P was rejected by the server … 

Fri 27 May 11:15:57 2011 climateprediction.net Message from server: Completed result hadam3p_pnw_ykbc_1984_1_007215657_0 refused: this result wasn't sent (not needed)

… and the report deadline's still shown in green on my "All tasks" page. (As I write, the two recent tasks are the two at the top of the page.) However, there are no CPDN tasks still showing in BOINC Manager.

NG

BOINC 6.10.58
Mac OS X 10.6.7
MacBook Pro 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB memory

Edit: After posting the above, I tried resetting the project, which has resulted in lots of task requests and the download of some hadcm3 PNGs. So that was the cure. I still don't know what caused the problem though.

I posted about your red message here in News and Announcements on the 29th of April.

Not requesting more cpdn work may have been because your BOINC was in "payback mode" because of the long climate models previously run.
