I abort all of my Clean Energy WUs, they took too long and seems to make the CPU fan work harder. When running the Cancer and other projects, the fan kicks in when needed.

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.... I crunched 3 CEP WUs together on my quadcore without any problems. But I even had this dll error on other CEP WU.  |

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. Hi Jean, it may have been the famous exception from the rule  .The work units were from a disconnected system. I have seen some posts in one of the other trails, which might explain this. Please don't get me wrong, just want to inform - not questioning your post. Maybe my system needs a higher buffer seeting to get none of the emergency WUs. Cheers |

Please don't get me wrong, just want to inform - not questioning your post. No problem. Theory is one thing, reality is another, and I think it is better to know it rather than to hide it. That's what I think in general, and in the Distributed Computing world there are so many different projects, so many different devices and so many different situations, that results in many opportunities for things not being what we think they are. Cheers. Jean. |
