My model is currently at 99.318% completed. A second model downloaded a couple of days ago but didn\'t do anything - waiting for the first one to complete I thought.

Today I suspended BOINC and exited to do some housekeeping on the PC. When I restarted BOINC the second model kicked in leaving the first almost but not quite finished.

I could go back to last weeks backup but that would add another week to the processing time and I\'m so close.

Can I get the first one to restart and to reach that elusive 100%? If so, how?

1) In the Projects tab, click the project name, then click the No new tasks button.
2) In the Tasks tab, click the new model.
3) Then click the Suspend button.

This will:
1) Prevent BOINC from requesting any new models
2) & 3) Prevent the new model from running (just yet), and leave BOINC no choice but to run the original model.

According to your Results page, you currently have 3 active models: 2 slabs and a 160 year Coupled Ocean model.

None of these has any trickles recorded against it.
Have you uploaded any?

Message 33132 - Posted: 29 Mar 2008, 13:18:46 UTC - in response to Message 33131.  

I have looked at my results and can tell you - starting at the top of the list:

1. hadsm3fub_0133_005940785_2 is the latest model that I have just suspended - waiting for the first to complete

2.hadcm3istd_0dsc_1920_160_05937222_1. I don\'t know what this is. (Is it the 160 year model you mentioned?) If I can make it start I will do it after hadsm3fub_0133_005940785_2 has completed processing - probably in around 4 months time (if someone can tell me how to do this!)

3.hadsm3fub_00me_005927059_0 I don\'t know what this is although again I\'ll add it to the queue once I get close to finishing the others

4.hadsm3fub_00m2_005917205_7 is almost finished - thanks to your advice which got it started again.

I\'m not too sure about the other results as I have never had a completed model until now. I was previously doing the BBC experiment and gave up as it kept refusing to restart after being suspended and I had to keep reverting to backups to get it started again. I assume that one of the other results is that one?
