Thank you! That option was not set, and there were a lot of unselected applications.

The event log shows the project responding that no work is available. That Windows box crumbles under the weight of even a web browser, so it's not trivial to cut and paste the actual log output. I imagine that it will perform much better once I install Linux on it, but the Linux-CPDN bug is among the reasons I'm delaying.

One thing I noticed when using the BOINC manager on that machine: all other projects are set to priority "0" (not resource share). CPDN is set to priority "-0".

Though I have been using BOINC since 2005 and SETI much longer than that, I am not proficient at BOINC's technical internals. Until recently, it has "just worked" and required no care and feeding beyond setting up the OpenMosix boot floppies (I may be dating myself).

The Atom box is producing work about on par with my fastest Android node. At the moment, it is serving no other purpose, but I do have plans for it, and I do wish to use its spare cycles, so I will continue watching its work rate and checking for problems with specific projects.

It has been a very long time since any of my hosts have received work from this project. CPDN accounts for over 60% of my total credit, and when the work stopped coming and the communication stopped, I interpreted it as the end of the project. Very recently, I have read about the problems that have plagued Linux hosts, but even my Windows host is going to waste with respect to this crucial research. My decision to postpone building a small cluster at home was based in large part on the fact that crunching CPDN data was to be the cluster's intended primary function beyond teaching me how to admin a cluster.
