Basically, it\'s not possible at present. The other projects have wus that are complete in hours, whereas here they take months. The removal facility takes account of how long a computer may be needed for completing a wu, as here they may still be processing a model offline for over a year. The ability, or lack of it, to remove unused computers, reflects this long lag time. |

Basically, it\'s not possible at present. In this case, the computer has gone away - the wu will never be completed. Removing the host would provide a signal that the wu will have to be reallocated. I had troubles setting up boinc on a new PC, so that PC is now registered three times, as 3 hosts. I was able to remove one of these, but there\'s still a ghost machine.. |

The models send back a small amount of info regularly in the form of a trickle. This is used to tell the server that the model is still \'alive\', but if these messages aren\'t received for about 6 weeks, the model is considered to be \'lost\' and the data set is re-allocated for someone else to use. There should be an option to merge the two remaining appearances of your computer, in the same place as the \'delete computer\'. |
