Do you mean: When will these climate models appear on WCG?

It took about 2 years to convert the million or so lines of code to work on desktop computers, and the 2 programmers don\'t have the time to start again to produce a version for WCG.

And there is no need; there are sufficient numbers of people running the models under BOINC. So these models will never be run under WCG.

Also, as far as I can see, the WCG project runs medical models.

**************

What list?
You\'re posting here, so you ARE on the list.

If you mean that you don\'t yet have any credits, you just need to wait.
Credits are given each time a \"trickle\" is returned to the project, which contains data for the year just calculated.. This occurs once a model year, on the 4th of December. Although you then have to wait until the credits program runs, which is once a day.

WCG will be moving over to Boinc soon, so WCG will become a project within Boinc, and you will need to use Boinc to run WCG rather than using the WCG \'united devices\' client.


If you want \'WCG\' to show up on your list of projects on your Boinc account page, you need to use the same email at all projects, and use the Boinc client for WCG on the same computer that you run your other Boinc projects on.


As Les explains, it is extremely unlikely that CPDN will run an application inside the original WCG framework, particularly since that framework won\'t exist soon (replaced by Boinc).

Note that you\'ll only appear in third-party stats sites (such as Boinc stats) once you have some credit. This normally takes a couple of days (the model needs to send a \'trickle\', which takes a day or so to turn into credit).

Depending on which type of model you have, the trickles appear at different intervals. Take a look through the READMEs for more information (the link is in my signature).
