i have had this progam for about a 3 weeks to 4 weeks and from day one i have been getting "no schedulers responded"come up all the time .....is there a way to fix this ?

Sure... have the admins who post the news make sure that everything really *is* up and running when they say it is. :(

Unfortunately, although the systems respond to pings, they don't appear to be running right now. It appears that daemon or whatever it is they've got to hand out WUs, etc is not running. Hence even MORE need for a "real-time, autonomous" status page which does NOT require human intervention to show the current status!

Seriously, if you're getting that, then it means you've done everything you need to do.

SETI is still struggling in an Alpha/Beta release stage. You have to expect problems.

If you are interested you can still try BOINC out at http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/

Their system has been very stable.

Currently they are using major version 4.x of the BOINC client. BE AWARE THAT SETI AND PREDICTOR PROJECTS DO NOT YET SUPPORT 4.X. (they are trying to roll it out at SETI but, well....)

Climate is a MAJOR project. WU's can take 600 or more hours to crunch. But be brave... They use a "trickle" for posting credit: Each WU consists of 3 phases, each phase is cut into 24 trickles. Each trickle is 10,802 timesteps long. Depending upon processor it can take 2-6 seconds to crunch a timestep. Each trickle they get back is worth 75.61 credits. A complet WU is worth 5443.92 CREDITS!
