2) Questions and Answers : Windows : Message: request_reschedule_cpus: project op (Message 13550) Posted 18 Jun 2005 by old_user39386 Post: That makes sense and it's certainly what BOINC seems to be 'thinking' - the funny thing is that the deadline for the Einstein project is a week from now. Even with the little (20%) share I've allocated for Einstein, my computer could complete well over three Einstein WUs during that time. Anyway, I will wait and see what happens once the current WU is finished.

I have installed BOINC Client 4.43 on Windows XP two days ago and have been getting the same messages ever since. But I also get this one: 18.6.2005 8:20:33\|\|earliest deadline: 1119523311.000000 H1_1070.0__1070.2_0.1_T18_Fin1_4 every one hour, over and over and over. BOINC does not appear to switch between applications any more (Climate Prediction and Einstein@home). Einstein@home is working fine, Climate Prediction not at all. How do I get it to work again? > Yep nothing wrong. > > Just means something has happened that has caused BOINC to try to decide what > work to do next.
