Long Running FightAIDS@Home Workunits

Thanks to member feedback, we have identified several batches of data that contain workunits that are running on average 4-5 times longer then we normally try to size them.

The workunits impacted have a name that starts with the following:

faah5000
faah5001
faah5002
faah5003
faah5004
faah5005
faah5006
faah5007
faah5008
faah5009
faah5010
faah5011
faah5012
faah5013
faah5014
faah5015
faah5016
faah5017

There is nothing wrong with the workunits, they are just bigger than normal. Please allow them to run and complete.

We have modified the deadline for these workunits so that they have an extra week to finish. In other words, these workunits now have a deadline of 19 days instead of the normal 12 days. You can check to see if your deadline has been extended by visiting https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/ms/viewBoincResults.do?projectId=11

Unfortunately, we cannot send the information about the extended deadline to the software on your computer. As a result, when the original deadline expires the software will give you a warning that you may not get credit. This will be misleading and we encourage you to check the information on the website to see if the real deadline is approaching or not.

Also - please note that you will receive your full credit for these workunits. People with fast machines who are already starting to get credit are reporting that they are receiving credit proportional to the increased run time.
