Yes, there is.
The models are only on Linux at present.

As long as all of the zips got sent, it's only your computer that doesn't have the usual messages on it.
So, No Worries, as we say "down here". :)

I have a vague memory of something similar a long time ago.
And it didn't correct itself, so I just put it down as "one of those things".

I think that it was when the servers were busy.
And it affected others as well.

And it ran out of work 2 days ago.

What we need to see is from near the start of the Event log.
Below is from mine, but I was fiddling a bit to get it set up, so it's an approximation of what yours will have:

It might be not enough memory.
Climate models are BIG. Allow perhaps 2 gigs of ram per model.

The trickle_up files can be used to return data, but these days they're mostly just there to say: "I'm still running".
It's the zip files that contain the calculation results.

Posted 13 May 2022 by Les Bayliss
Post:
If they're just turned off, yes.
For this project, they need to be shut down gently; my method is to Suspend each task, wait until they've had a chance to stop and save all the files, then shut down BOINC, then turn off the computer.

But there hasn't been any work for months, and the last lot was for Linux and Mac.
Until the Linux failure rate got too high, when those were removed from the queue.

The next lot may be a new type of Linux model, with massive resource requirements.
But that may be a long way off yet.

Those two projects are off line.
There's talk about them on the BOINC site.

World Community Grid has announced an extended outage from Feb 14 to April 22, 2022

Rosetta@home down?

Hi Simon

The bad news is that cpdn has been mostly Linux and Mac for over a year now.
And right now, while a few Mac only models appeared a few days ago, the development work is currently on 64 bit Linux models.
No indications of when they might be ready for release; could be months.

The good news is that Linux models can be run on Windows by installing a vm, and putting Linux in that.
There's several threads about this.

Yes.
Unless you run a VM, with Linux inside.

The HadAM4 at N144 resolution tasks are Linux, as per the Applications page
And they're downloading and running nicely on my machine.
