Sekerob, I'm not sure if this is the correct thread to post this. However, I couldn't find the answer in the FAQ's. At the messages window at the BOINC client there is a message that two tasks are 0.15 days overdue. Consider aborting it. I never aborts it. Then I have three related questions: 1. Are overdue tasks after I have returned them contributing to the cause? 2. Are there similar tasks sended out to others when I don't complete on schedule? 3. If I aborts them are the whole tasks processed by others or is it here where the "repair jobs" are coming in?

Mini-Milestone... we completed 500 CPU years since the "silent" launch. Next mark, 1000... well before the end of September.

If you have already missed the deadline and your task has not started, an emergency job could have been sent out and returned. If this is the case, abort your job. 1) Overdue tasks still contribute to the cause but they are basically redundant. You can still get credit for it if the server's copy is still around when it returns. If the server's copy is gone (I noticed they disappear within 36 hours after results is received for C4CW), you get no credit. 2) Yes, as soon as the deadline is missed, emergency repair job that is an exact copy of your task is sent out. 3) If you abort it before deadline, an emergency task will still be sent out to be completed by someone else . If you abort it after the emergency repair job is sent out, it won't cause a redundant emergenyc repair job to be sent. [Edit 1 times, last edit by bieberj at Sep 10, 2010 4:57:43 PM] |

The newsletter seemed to have worked and gave this research a little extra jolt over and above the mean growth of WCG. Record day with 42 CPU years contributed (See Updated chart in OP).
----------------------------------------Still running 60% faster on Linux, 64 bit on me quad. Crunching On.

What happened to your graphic that showed estimated project run lengths? I've been to your page in the FAQ's, but can't seem to find it.

Did I spot on the chart that we have progressed the amount completed a fair bit recently?

No, still don't see the big crunch attack from the middle land.

I find that c4cw gets a lower priority of WUs if you request more than just 1 project at a time.
----------------------------------------I only get 1 in 20 WUs for c4cw on one of my PCs that is crunching 3 different projects at the moment.  Luckily I will have another PC online before the week is out, so will get that crunching more c4cw WUs.  Patrick |
