1) Questions and Answers : Windows : Task Overdue Message (Message 32676) Posted 19 Feb 2008 by old_user220406 Post: Thank you. Point taken! Incidentally is there away to allow more \'BOINC time\' if I only have the one model running and very little else running on the machine?
2) Questions and Answers : Windows : Task Overdue Message (Message 32661) Posted 19 Feb 2008 by old_user220406 Post: I have a similar circumstance and a near-identical message. Should I let it run or abandon? N.B. I have restricted the preferences to run one model at a time but it won\'t use me than 50% CPU. Can I adjust this upwards? 19/02/2008 17:52:29\|\|Starting BOINC client version 5.4.11 for windows_intelx86 19/02/2008 17:52:29\|\|libcurl/7.15.3 OpenSSL/0.9.8a zlib/1.2.3 19/02/2008 17:52:29\|\|Data directory: C:\\Program Files\\BOINC 19/02/2008 17:52:29\|\|Processor: 2 GenuineIntel Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz 19/02/2008 17:52:29\|\|Memory: 510.98 MB physical, 1.22 GB virtual 19/02/2008 17:52:29\|\|Disk: 145.45 GB total, 44.95 GB free 19/02/2008 17:52:29\|climateprediction.net\|URL: http://climateprediction.net/; Computer ID: 526055; location: ; project prefs: default 19/02/2008 17:52:29\|\|General prefs: from climateprediction.net (last modified 2007-01-18 23:15:38) 19/02/2008 17:52:29\|\|General prefs: using your defaults 19/02/2008 17:52:29\|climateprediction.net\|Task hadcm3iozn_cpz8_2000_80_65899437_5 is 8.29 days overdue. 19/02/2008 17:52:29\|climateprediction.net\|You may not get credit for it.

3) Questions and Answers : Getting started : Two tasks to one project in BOINC? (Message 26222) Posted 20 Jan 2007 by old_user220406 Post: Hi, I signed up recently and have no technical problems to report- wahey! However, I\'d like to speed things up by running just one task instead of two. In the BOINC -> Projects tab it shows one project (climateprediction.net) but in the BOINC -> Tasks there are two entries (hadcm3ohe...). If I suspend one another one just downloads and starts. So how do I run just one and would it help the project team to finish one task sooner or two tasks later? I gather the BOINC \'to completion\' estimates are a bit dubious but I\'ve got 3000 hrs to finish both -its a bit unlikely to happen inside a year.
