Sigh

I must have been half asleep when I posted

I indeed have only one WU

And the expected run time is 12 days, not 12 hours

But a 1 year deadline is still ludicrous

The 1 year has been there since the start of the project, and has been talked about ad nauseam on this board.
The project people have said that they are OK with it, and it's not going to change.

Don't know if it will works, but it's just a try:
- changes other projects weights trough respective web account according to your choice. For example: 100% for LHC and 200% for climateprediction.
If you use only cpu for Primegrid and Milkway, set a weight also for their. For example: 100% for Primegrid and 100% for Milkyway.
If you use only gpu for Primegrid and Milkyway, they will be accounted separately from cpu projects.
- edit your cc_config.xml by adding this option:
<options>
<rec_half_life_days>1</rec_half_life_days>
</options>

- save, exit from editor and reload boinc configuration or reboot him.
- wait some days, maybe ten days: climateprediction is slow to give credits, so boinc client can't do his math everyday.

After first climateprediction credit update (thurdsday?), you should see some difference on running projects and boinc client should start to respect the weights you set.

Hope it works. :-)

Longest any of mine took was just under 11 months. In those days, you really did not want to have a computer that was not running 24/7 for CPDN.

And that was on a single core machine with a 1.2 GHz processor and 256 KB of Ram. The swap file got a lot of use. The 160 year models took 3300 hours to finish.

I am just glad that the project did not start out in the Medieval period. The deadlines would be 50 years and unchangeable by advances in technology.

What everyone should be thankful for, is that there's any work at all, with the SE of the UK in hard lock down.

Advances in Science and Technology are not dependent on Official Paperwork where things move from desk to desk in God knows how many copies.

Les, we are all very grateful to CPDN. That is another thing that as a retired Seafarer this subject is very dear to me. We should all give thanks to the Powers to be.

It seems that they have more immediate problems at the moment:

Storm Bella continues to batter the UK with gusts reaching more than 100mph and danger to life flood warnings in place.
Bitter winds and icy conditions have plagued the Christmas break, with further freezing temperatures expected in the coming days.

The top wind speed of 106mph was recorded at the Needles on the Isle of Wight on Saturday night, while Aberdaron in north west Wales experienced gusts of 83mph.
Meanwhile, two threat to life flood warnings remain in place in Northamptonshire, and the River Great Ouse in Bedfordshire burst its banks onto adjacent playing fields.

Great Ouse also burst its banks in Buckingham.

Got a bit breezy in Scotland, I saw some leaves waving a little in my hedge. People do make such a fuss nowadays, 2 inches of snow and they close the roads.

For Windows users (the most common OS in the world) there isn't much. Why do they put most of it on Linux?

Unless they have police and army on the streets stopping you exiting your home (like the Netherlands and China), it's not a lockdown. All we have is advice which I ignore entirely.

The model types developed for different platforms are better suited to different climate modelling tasks.

also as noted elsewhere, there have historically been much longer periods without work for Linux than any recent dearth of Windows tasks.

There's no one here stopping us from exiting our home. It's still entirely allowed.

Ah ok. I guess it's just what OS each of the research groups are more familiar with. And it's not like other projects where they have to get as many users as they can.

Ah well I have 35 of my 90 CPU cores running it now, I managed to get a batch just as I was leaving for my holiday which was probably illegal, I don't bother trying to keep up with the ever changing laws.

Oh. Someone over in the Boinc forums in the NL suggested it wasn't, and was rather angry about it. Come to think of it, I think he was only referring to one area.

If you have so many threads idle why do you not try to run a Virtual Machine with Linux as the OS? Take advantage of best of both the worlds. If you do not have any experience of VM's, you will find a lot of people on these forums ever willing to help you out. Just walk over to the Linux Forums and read. Then go over to the download section of Boinc and follow the instructions. You will find a link about package manager and Docker written somewhere. Click it and follow the instructions strictly with common sense.
Win, win situation. Best of both the worlds. May error out a few WU's but you will advance along the learning curve and CPDN also wins. Try it, you will have no regrets.
