Well I have just returned to climateprediction.net because I noticed they have units that will now run on a MacPro Intel box. I immediately noticed that while I only allowed enough resource usage for climate to run on one \'core\' it just kept downloading more and more jobs with estimated run times of 1660 hours and a completion date in 2008. However, it would start a new job every once in a while so I now have more than one with time spent on it. If I allow things to continue I will have no climate jobs that will complete before the deadline unless climate takes over all eight cores. That seems to be what this thread is alluding to. I had no intention of letting one project take over my machine. When jobs have such long duration times the idiosyncrasies of BOINC step in causing all sorts of funnies to happen like no status being shown yet running full out on the core. It makes for doing maintenance on the system difficult if one does not want to loose hours of processing. I will monitor this for a while. I have set BOINC to accept no new tasks from climate to stop the loading of the que with climate jobs.

At least remove the Mac software and ditto appeal then.
