We're on holidays.

Check the Project status page, or the New work thread now and then.

I can see that others are still working on tasks, but

...

I ran five tasks in June and July One of them took 1,430,254.80 seconds to run, and it was pretty typical. The last one I received much later than the first batch of four. It had already failed for someone else. I get the impression that the ones issued lately are those that failed for someone else. The one I ran that failed for someone else ran for 1,401,447.50 for him. So I had to wait about a month before it was issued to me.

The last batch released to main site were failing to download. Don't know if that is fixed yet. If not, there won't be a new batch till it is.
As Les said, many at Oxford are not going to be back till the new term starts, so it is likely that only resends of failed tasks will be available for a while yet. Not surprisingly these tasks with the exception of those failing due to missing 32bit libraries on Linux boxes will have a higher failure rate than virgin tasks.

"I can see that others are still working on tasks, but I haven't been assigned any new tasks sine June. Any suggestions on what is going on?"

CPDN batches of work come mainly from projects of research groups around the world and none have been submitted for a while.

Incidentally, work for us volunteers, from CPN, is not dependent on Oxford academic terms, neither is routine maintenance and/or development of the system. Academic terms are simply there for the undergraduate student teaching activities at the university.
The other work of the university, research, administration etc., carries on in exactly the same way as work in other parts of the economy with holiday times in no way much different.

As the CPND website says, “CPDN is a team of 13 climate scientists, computing experts and post graduate students working on this project, as well as our partners and collaborators working at other universities, research and non-profit organisations around the world.”
The CPDN project takes place within the the Oxford e-Research Centre, which is a multidisciplinary applied research department.

These people work ‘normal’ hours and are not simply there only during university ‘student’ terms. A small caveat being that, as is normal in academic activities, some of these people may be away, at different times, on conferences or other activities related to their work.

We should also remember that these people have work associated with other projects. (Funding issues?)

A very large proportion of the work that is put out by CPDN are projects from researchers around the world which take time to be designed and set up as well as the results analysed and prepared for publication.

There’s not much way in which CPDN (staff or volunteer administrators) can get to know when or from where such work is likely to come.

We just have to be patient.

thank you, everyone.
