I have done over 200 hours and have not gotten any credit for the current. The model seems to be working fine.

You seem to have been hit by the <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=2577">misallocated work unit bug</a> that should have been fixed. The credits you should be accruing are being given to host ID 119447 as you can see from the result page <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=865334">here</a>. Quite odd...Host ID 119447 had lots of misallocated credits (ones it shouldn't have had), before Carl did the credit correction/recalculation back in July, but the one you are working on is the only one still incorrectly accruing credit for that host.

Perhaps someone else can come along and explain it better.

Now is it better to abort this workunit?

Had the first trickle been done by 29th July, it would have been fixed but it must have been waiting to start on your computer.

This is now 1 of 2 that I know of that ought to be fixed but it is a bad time to be asking Carl to do some fixing as he wants to get perturbed ocean spin up out and working. Maybe after things calm down, I'll ask him to change them. However I don't think he will be keen to start messing with credit again in a hurry so I cannot guarantee the credit will be fixed for this misallocated WU.

The science should upload ok so from the science perpective it would be better to continue.

If the credit matters to you, then you could backup your BOINC folder so that if the credit is fixed you can restore the backup to complete the WU. Then abort the WU (and any other hadsm3 queued models with no time spent) so you can start a sulphur cycle work unit.
