Maybe you had forgotten to bring your extra work buffer to a lower level on the website before re-installing? After so many attempts to get something it would not be surprising that you had raised it to a rather high level.
----------------------------------------I can only wish that there are many new HCMD2 WUs among your 56, they are very short during the start of the project.  Cheers. Jean. |

Hello RMau,
Your work cache and additional cache specify the number of hours of work you want to download for each core. My Grid - Device Manager - Device Profiles will show this to you. Lawrence |

The work cache is set to 4.00 days. I don't think I've changed that value. Is 4.00 days excessive? I don't think so in usual circumstances where I'm just crunching the work that the projects release to be done.
----------------------------------------Where it could be a problem is when a new project is released and that full four days has to be worked through before a change to the new project only would take effect. I have gotten four or five HCMD Phase 2 WUs in amongst the queues on the my three machines. Not too many so far! RMau  |

I don't think so in usual circumstances where I'm just crunching the work that the projects release to be done. 4 days is a reasonable number. I'm not sure I'd go past 5.Where it could be a problem is when a new project is released and that full four days has to be worked through before a change to the new project only would take effect.

RMau You aren't going to get any betas because it is not 0, but you will carry work over any temporary outages. Some have aborted all of their waiting workunits to get new projects. HOWEVER, excessive aborts will be treated as "errors" for the scheduler and knock down the quota until it is built up again. When I was running with several days work in the queue and had a vacation coming up, I'd set the queue to 0 four or five days ahead of it, so it would drain before turning off the computers.

It's you who looked surprised by receiving 56 WUs! After a clean install with fresh parameters 56 WUs for a quad with four days of cache is not that much. It is probably about two days of work, no? I am glad that your problem seems to be fixed. Jean. |

Well, I was surprised at receiving 56 WUs all at once. I don't think I've ever had than many in a queue.
----------------------------------------But it's looking like, at least with the Influenza WUs, it's going to be more like a week and not two days to finish them. They are taking ~14 hours to run. Which is odd, because Influenza WUs on the two dual core PCs take ~7 hours. I must have a very slow quad core PC! Thanks everyone, for the advise and encouragement. At least I have WUs to crunch!

Or it might just be busy with higher priority jobs. On my Funtoo box (CeleronD 2.67GHz, 2.5GiBs ram) I have boinc and descended jobs scheduled to run only when OS has no other waiting jobs. (Which makes it slow when the weekly build takes eleven days)
