It's been so long since here was any work, that I've forgotten how to get it to start.

cpdn is one of the early projects.
I think that there was SETI, then cpdn.
All other projects came much later, and they apparently had different ideas about how to do things.

Apparently the server will decide.

These modles are still in testing.
Please stop peeking through the windows to see what's happening. :)

When they do show up, it will be "business as usual".

Linux at present, and for some time.

**********************

Unix/Linux is a more natural language for programmers of large computers.
Trying to hammer it into Windows and still have it work can be tricky sometimes.

I followed Microsoft's advice years ago when they were trying to get rid of Windows XP:
"Upgrade to a newer OS, and if necessary, newer hardware that will run it."
So I upgraded the hardware to a new cpu type, and the OS to Linux.

Best advice that I've ever had from them.

I think that's part of security.
You need to create an account first, then create a BOINC account.

The biggest problem may be Science United, which just pushes people onto all projects.

Those problems are a server side problem.
There's nothing that you can do at your end.

If they've been there a while, then they may be from when a server was having problems, such as being overwhelmed with files being returned. They may be a permanent feature of your computer list now.

Hi Glenn

That's info's good to know. Time to get ready for them.

I remember when the first ones appeared, at the time of the announcement on our front page: Oxford e-Research Centre teams up with ECMWF to enable scientists to run the OpenIFS weather model on thousands of people’s home computers.
I only got one task from that, which ran for about 18 hours.

This is Climateprediction.
It is modelling the Earth's climate, and creates big files.
The newer models are modelling finer detail, and the data files are getting bigger.

Unfortunately, there is some sort of problem at the server end, which in this case is in a data center in Hobart, the capital of Tasmania.
