Ok so what does this mean ....
----------------------------------------A few days ago I had a CEP work unit that said "no reply" until after my machine actually finished it. (A day or 2 later) Then it showed Valid. Now it has dissapeared off the results list. Jasm

Deadlines are 12-20 days. They aren't usually a limiting factor. BOINC will automatically try to make all your deadlines as well as possible. My situation resolved itself as follows: On the 19th and 20th the WU status was/is Name: E000043_422A_00054r000 - running high priority deadline Dec 20 Name: NotCLR - Held at 65 % to be restarted when possible deadline Dec 20 Name: E000027_371A_00035s00z - running high priority deadline Dec 19 In this situation, Boinc stopped running E000043_422A_00054r000 with a "No Reply" so that the NotCLR WU could restart and reach it's deadline. E000027_371A_00035s00z is still running even though it's past its deadline because it's corunning a NotCLR WU which has a deadline in January. I expect when E000027_371A_00035s00z finishes (it has 3 hours left to go) it will be entered as "Too Late" |

The normal deadline is 12 days. When WCG make it shorter, they do so deliberately, to get the work back faster.

In that case you should set your extra work buffer to one day or more to make sure that you don't receive any repair WU whose deadline is 20 % of the normal deadline. Cheers. Jean. |

Hi Jean, That doesn't work always. Recently, I had changed the work buffer on one of my systems to 2 days and received 8 cancer emergency WUs (this just as a side note). It didn't impact my WU deadline though as asoteros wrote. Cheers. |

It's not the extra buffer setting itself which is taken into consideration for this matter but the average return time. So if you had a very short one that may take a little while before it increases up to 21 hours which was the current threshold the last time somebody mentioned it.
----------------------------------------That said, maybe it is not a valid explanation of what you have experienced. In that case do not hesitate to say it, it's always good to know that things are not exactly like we think they are.  Cheers. Jean. |

My last WU now is specified as "Pending Validation" even though it was more than a day beyond deadline. The problems that I've seen have to do with the way that Boinc handles its multi-core scheduling. My recommendation is that if you want to help testing the CEP project you set your multi-core machine to ONLY run CEP. If you don't, then don't run CEP at all. |

seems that if a multicore machine gets more than 1 cep at a time it can have trouble with them...
per se i have an intelcore2duo 2.2 that could never get past 1% kept restarting tasks for about 12 hours, on either cep unit i aborted 1 and got a different task all went fine.. some dll initialization error said to reboot if happens alot rebooted to no avail.... |
