Thanks..That\'s useful to know...two related questions:

* how long is a model \"decade\"? Same as a calendar decade, or a different unit
of time?
* if deadlines are currently being \"ignored\", does that mean that they can
still be worked on after the completion date referenced in the \"Tasks\" tab?

hmmm....in my situation, Windows didn\'t shut down, but the screen saver had kicked in.

I am curious about the \"restore\" command being referenced. Are you referring to restoring data from a system backup? Even so, how could I specify to the BOINC Mgr. which workload to process? Since I am only working on one project, it seems like there is a \"default\" workload that starts when the BOINC Mgr. is started.

However, if I decide to simply let my system work on this new workload, and delete the folder named after the previous workload, can any additional files/folders be deleted as well? It\'s not obvious from looking at the contents of the \"climateprediction.net\" folder what files and folders can be deleted when a workload is completed, and what cannot.

Thx.

No. Everything appears to be running fine. Being a new participant, I was simply trying to ensure that I was doing this correctly.

Thx.

When the scheduler downloads archive files such as .zip and .gz, are you supposed to unpack them or do anything prior to starting up the BOINC Mgr?

Based on this message snippet, it would appear that my system is now working on a new workload:

Is it safe to delete the folder containing the previous work request (hadcm3lbm_c8mm_25340321_0)?

I had a related question: my climate model will also require an average of seven hours per day to complete (in 2008), and there is no way I\'ll be able to complete it.

My general question: would partially-completed data and computations still be useful to the overall project? If so, I\'ll continue letting it run to the end of a model year. Otherwise, I\'ll find another project that my system can actually complete.
