Hi Thrawn,

Probably you know already and are just interested in the info for projects you've not seen yet, but if you open the BOINCmgr (The WCG Default Simple View > Advanced View button) and go to the 'Tasks' tab, you see a 'Report Deadline' column at right side. Just work backwards to determine the days when a new work unit is received.

If you want to know what are the longest and shortest,

-FA@H and HPF2 are aimed to average 7 hours (reference machine)
-DDDT, present batches with '201' in the work unit number about 1 hour. Before the aim was same as FA@H and HPF2.
-AC@H do about 18 hours on my P4, but they average 7-8 hours

Reliable computers with a fast return time, say within 24 hours, get rush jobs assigned at times .... they usually need completion within 24-48 hours. BOINC will automatically prioritize them if you have more jobs in the Tasks buffer and will pause jobs with a later due date.

cheers

The Announcement for AC@H actually mentions the 5 days deadline. AC@H jobs are so rare and System and Internet Speed requirements so hi that not all will get them anyhow. All other projects i think will remain a uniform 9 days as that is easier on the BOINC scheduling.

Happens to the best (well almost all)
