dseto,

As alluded earlier in this thread, we need ALL 19 results as each is unique! If a work unit (WU) made progress and stops making any for a long time, specifically HPF2, suspend the WCG (in the project tab), wait a little and resume WCG. Usually this makes the HPF2 start to move again!

If you ABORT a work unit, a new copy will be send to another computer until we have 19 valid work units. If at 70%, it's probably on restart resuming at maybe 50%.... it varies!

I paused the WU, waited about 30 minutes... restarted it but it continues at the same point (70.190%) and no progress whatsoever...

Processing time: 70:30 hours, time to completion: 22 hours...
WU filename: lb927_00008_12

Please advise me what to do (I peronally want to kill it)

Excuse me for not using the correct vocabulary... I meant "Suspend" instead of "paused"

I suspended the troublesome WU again and tried to reactivate it, but now a different WU's active, so I have to wait until that's finished...
I'll see the result tomorrow morning...

Thanks for now...

Can you tell me what "Minimum Quorum : 15" means on the work unit validation sheet?

As I indicated I thought that only 15 valid replies were required, and if someone had a long running work unit and it looked like 15 valid replies were soon to be reached that he or she could consider abort.

From your recent reply you indicated all 19 valid replies are needed and new copies would be sent until the 19 is reached.

If you review my copy of a valid work unit I have below it appears that in this case 17 Valid, 2 no reply and 1 error was enough as no new copies have been sent to reach 19 valid replies, am I missing something here??

Could you please explain why NO additional copies were sent out to reach 19 valid results in this case??

I need to defer to knreed / technicians et al on why no additional copies are send out until the 19 valid are filled. At the start of the HPF2 project on BOINC, 1st validation was attempted initially after 11 returns - see here - for the announcement. When it says that all 19 are needed, it implies all 19 valid. Seen on own work that for each 'error' a new copy is distributed, but never paid attention to the 'no reply' situation on HPF2.... Never seen a 'no reply' before on HPF2, so maybe a 'bug', like one discovered on Sunday related to the 'inconclusive' (separate thread for HPF2).
