According to the Sunbelt Personal Firewall \"Application Behavior Module\" that runs on my computer, ordinarily, when I tell it to run BOINC, the \"BOINC client\" is launched by Windows Explorer and starts running, then the \"BOINC client\" launches the executable hadcm3trans_5.44_windows_intelx86 and it starts. That executable then launches hadcm3transum_5.44_windows_intelx86 and it runs. The same events happen when the software exits (i.e., as logged by the firewall), except that the BOINC client remains and restarts the first climate model executable.

However, two days ago, while it was itself already loaded and running, hadcm3trans_5.44_windows_intelx86 launched a program that I\'ve never seen run before: hadcm3transse_5.44_windows_intelx86. It launched the program six times during the course of thirty seconds and the program was reported as \"starting\" after each launch. I don\'t know whether it remained in memory after the last logged start.

These events were recorded in the \"Behavior Log\" that is created and maintained by the firewall. No report of the execution of hadcm3transse_5.44_windows_intelx86 was made in the BOINC message file, probably because it did not launch the program. BOINC simply reports \"Restarting task hadcm3iozn_cpm4_2000_80_45898965_7 using hadcm3i version 544\" and does not identify the climate model executable explicitly.

Do you know why hadcm3transse_5.44_windows_intelx86 was executed?

Do you know why hadcm3transse_5.44_windows_intelx86 was executed?

It is also launched by hadcm3trans_5.44_windows_intelx86.

All CPDN applications are what BOINC terms as compound applications.

• hadcm3trans_5.44_windows_intelx86 is the controller process and is launched directly by BOINC.
  
  
• hadcm3transum_5.44_windows_intelx86 is the worker process. It runs the model and creates the raw output data.
  
  
• hadcm3transse_5.44_windows_intelx86 post-processes the raw output files just after the end of a model year, with a separate instance being launched for every file. The controller process generates trickles and upload files from the post-processed files.
