If your computer is overcommitted, it might be worth going to the project screen to tell some projects not to accept new work. I have 4 projects running on this computer. Three will not accept new tasks, including this climate project. Two have sent things in and are empty. Tasks come in now and then for the remaining project. The computer seems to have stabilized, and dedicates a stable portion of time to each. I haven\'t been doing this enough to see how BOINC allocates multiple projects, but noticed that a lot of short workunits kept coming in and were running, while the climateprediction just sat there.

I noted elsewhere that climateprediction only gives me 7 months to complete a 1683 hour workunit. That means that I must dedicate a fairly large percentage of each day to make sure that climateprediction finishes. I\'m giving it 9.6 hours/day now (40% of my computer time), which means that it will take 175 days to run and has to finish in about 210 days. New tasks come in now and then for the other project. I\'ll check the percentages in another month to see whether I need to adjust anything.

Most of my effort is going to Vulture Central III at worldcommunitygrid.org, but my credit here will go to Vulture Central XVII.

I guess it doesn\'t matter what I run, if it will be obsolete in 10 months anyway.

The maximum time for climateprediction.net seems brutal compared to the other climate applications.

I get only 7 months to complete a 1683 hour workunit.

BBC Climate Change experiment gives me 11 months to complete 1610 hours.
CPDN Seasonal Attribution gives me 11 months to complete a 389 hour workunit.
