astrolab ... the point is to try to eliminate (or at least reduce) the amount of redundant processng caused by WUs that need to be prematurely stopped at the current markers (6 and 12 hours).
----------------------------------------You should not be losing anything if the PC is turned off unless you have told BOINC to never write to disk which I think is likely a rare exception in the crunching community. I also very rarely lose a WU when the power goes out. Most of the time it just starts processing again when the power comes back on. As for crashes ... I think this is another very uncommon occurence for the HCMD2 project. If you are having problems with your P4 erroring out WUs perhaps that machine needs to get a little attention :-) Steve [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Feb 24, 2010 12:05:40 PM] |

I would have no problem with crunching a WU for days on end, as long as it was able to load and run on my computer. I'd just hate to see scientists lose a large portion of the grid users by creating pieces that are too large for their memory/pagesize.
If that's not an issue - go for it! :) Faldor |

The title proposes this as "option", so suppose it's for those selecting these long ones in their device profiles.
Saying Aye and going for the max! |

Ah - the proposition is a Cure for SOME - those with the fastest machines able to operate 24/7.
What I have proposed, despite some snide commentary, is in fact a Cure for ALL. |

My machines crunch 24/7 and I have 100mb connection to the net.
I don't care how big the data sets are or how long they take, send 'em my way! |

I'm in favour of the idea of being able to chose to compute whole wu, whatever the time it takes.

AYE as long as the option is device specific. I can then devote some machines to these unlimited WU's and others to standard work.
----------------------------------------Movieman said: A shame WCG isn't a multi-threaded app.. I do not really understand that. We have one WU per core running in parallel. In quad HT we have 8 threads active. Or is it about the BOINC client which is not multithreaded maybe but again what is the use ? Can someone shed me some of his light on this?  |
