I have found that the WUs are getting longer to process. Patrick Yes, indeed. There has definitely been an increase in the runtime of the work units - nearly double the previous for most of them. This will probably extend the finalisation of the project.

This will probably extend the finalisation of the project. Please look at the crunching chart. Did put a Linear Regression Trendline in so it is clearer whether present tasks are above or below mean... mean being on the decline again and not expecting for the "hours per task" profile to be different by any significance from the previous target with the identical library that is being docked.

Thanks Seke.
----------------------------------------What you say is borne out by the graph. However, my personal experience in the last day or so is an increase in runtime. Others seem to be experiencing the same. I expect there may be a couple of possible explanations: 1. By concentrating on HFCC exclusively, there may be inefficiency in the way the computer handles the WU's on a multi-core machine. 2. The graph has two years of data and it is difficult to see the increase as other crunchers are processing a large cache with older (shorter) WU's. 3. Most likely, we are obsessed with getting our next badges and are jumping to conclusions!  All's good as long as the science gets the benefit and we can fight this awful disease.

I traveled home from college today to check on some crunchers and start another PC. Thankfully home is not too far away; the trip was well worth the extra core I'm crunching with!

Nickoli,
----------------------------------------The opposite here unfortunately - I've lost a core, which I won't be able to replace any time soon (ancient laptop, which I was 'running into the ground', running WCG 24x365 until it finally blew up - which happened yesterday!). Oh well - the rest of the cores fight onto the end...! Tom  (previously known as 'proxima' on SETI, UD, distributed folding, FaD, and Rosetta) |
