After reviewing this and other threads in this topic, it seems clear that Clean Energy Project was not ready for prime time.

A couple of days ago I did an Update on WCG and found that all 9 CEP results I had onboard, including two with a total of over 24 hours CPU time invested, had assumed status "Aborted By Project" and were therefor dead meat. When I did a filter search of WCG Results Status for ALL Clean Energy Project results, the aborted results simply were not there.

From what I read in this topic I infer that the aborted results were recalled by the manufacturer, but I can't find an actual explanation. I notice that "Aborted By Project" is not one of the Result Status filter criteria, which may be why they are not listed. I'd be interested to find out the exact definition of "Aborted By Project" (I didn't find anything in BOINC WIKI either) and why such results aren't included in the Results Status database.

Thanks for the link; good explanation, with the added virtue of ringing true. I THOUGHT the WCG servers came back up a bit too soon during the transition, after their estimate of the downtime.

I recall that Seti@Home aborts (not-yet-started) results out in the field if a valid quorum have already been returned for that workunit. At the same time, results with ANY cpu time recorded are allowed to complete for credit, quorum or not. But in their case the aborted results are carried in the results database with an explanation, and not just "disappeared" as happened here.

fastest I saw until now... I'm curious about the status evolution for this wu so please let us know what will happen, thanks in advance.

Now it says WU is "Error" :)

And WU that completed in 0.38 hours is in "pending Validation" with a deadline on 1/22/09

Not sure if this is related or not...

Mine is the one indicating an error.

This is odd. Which "core" is it referring to, the CEP core or the BOINC core? If the latter, then...

Thanks
