Re: [climateprediction.net] New study going out to volunteer's machines

The Helsinki scientists will be transferring the data from the upload server to their own server via the network according to this post by Glenn Carver. If they are doing this in real time then that could add to the network load at Jasmin. I haven't seen any network issues yet on my end. I believe t...

I doubt this driver will install on Debian 10. There is this post by Gary Roberts at Einstein which ...
