Sek,

If you're waiting on any of the following 4 WU's, they're coming - slowly, but surely (I'm manually restricting them to just 1 out of the 2 cores I've got available);
E000464_023B_00030n00z_1-- (should be finished by the morning)
E000465_712B_00040d010_1--
E000465_716B_00040d015_1--
E000465_717B_00040e000_0--

I do have 4 other CEP WU's - although the wingman hasn't returned them yet, so they're not as urgent as the 4 already waiting upon my machine. These 4 are;
E000462_411B_000229001_0--
E000462_688B_00022g00s_0--
E000463_314B_000306005_1--
E000465_713B_00040d011_1--

(All the above, are due to be returned on or before the 7th of April).

As to having WU's in PV, I've currently got 4 (and thus, I know as to how frustrating it can be at times... );
E000444_966B_000d0h002_0-- (the other WU, due for return on 01/04/09 10:49:33)
E000458_233B_00002200d_0-- (the other WU, due for return on 05/04/09 22:54:04)
E000459_324B_000108007_0-- (the other WU, due for return on 06/04/09 02:26:09)
E000469_325B_00052h00n_1-- (the other WU, due for return on 09/04/09 00:20:59)

Does anyone find it ironic that as of the date of this posting the WCG home page banner reads "Clean Energy Needs You" yet there is currently a sever
paucity of WU's available to crunch? I understand WCG is always trying to recruit new members, but how would a new WCG member feel if they signed up
their computer(s) to work on this worthwhile project and find no or very limited amount of WU's available?

Yet the 6 computers that were exclusively assigned to CEP went for 48 hours with no new WU, and now that they are assigned to both CEP and HFCC they have spent another 2 days with no CEP WU. Yet you are saying that some people are still getting some WU.

This is the last one in the queue and savoring it, for I've not had a word one way or the other... 48 72 hours almost to the minute, but before that there was quite a bit some time after the uplinger "dry up" message.

E000472_ 853B_ 000j0h00v_ 1-- 95711 In Progress 3/28/09 16:32:02 4/9/09 16:32:02 0.00 0.0 / 0.0

Now, I'm going to hit some shinbones and proposing a quota for the amount of CEP jobs any one device can have "in progress", if at all technically feasible. I have many in PV which suggests that some have been hoovering (repeat) which is not helping the project batch completion. Watching the RS pages and the very short time for Validated results to be moved off to the assimilator suggests that the scientist are eager to get their hands on the work for appraisal.

The CEP and RICE deadlines are 12 days (see FAQ's). Projects can set any deadline. Done a few that have 30 days or more deadline, it's just that BOINC prevents a client to "quota-less" hord work. Aside that, if you fill up with 10 days work and a few take longer than expected, it will inflate the computed time o remaining work in buffer and cause EDF/panic state (FIFO). That freezes work fetch as far as I know for the project in panic state.
