Has anyone else noticed that the runtime for GFAM units have just about doubled in recent days? as recently as 2 days ago my faster machine was running through a unit in about 4 hours, now I'm lucky if they finish in less than 8.
Its not a problem for me, WCG is all I run and the computers work 24/7. I just thought that there was a system behind the scenes to keep work units smaller than what they've become. |

On my computer the GOFAM work units were running about 4 and a half hours. The current work units seem to be running about 8 hours. This seems like a normal time. Apparently they were cutting the earlier units too short.

Just looked through the BOINCTasks history and it shows that back in the early days of GFAM the HumanDHFTdry could run quite long too on my laptop.
----------------------------------------6.08 gfam GFAM_x3DFRwifHumanDHFRdry_0000218_0605_0 14:01:49 (13:21:26) 21-11-2011 12:40 21-11-2011 12:40 Last night it finished one of nearly 17 hours: 6.08 gfam GFAM_x1kmvHumanDHFRdry_0001502_0247_0 16:42:38 (15:31:42) 16-12-2011 06:26 16-12-2011 06:27 Other types seem to run considerably shorter, so maybe it's those that are seen presently coming out the hopper. The tech are in a upsize drive as they have concern over the server performance once they apply the upgrade they're working on to the latest version. Some other sciences cant be sized up. GFAM opposed to DSFL/FAAH/HPF2/CEP2 ran quite short, so as per Lawrence, too short and a natural candidate, which with Autodock/Vina based tasks it is rather easy as shown through the years. CEP2 will in the near future be [optionally] allowed to run up to 24 hours per last reading on this. To monitor how the runtimes relate, visit the http://bit.ly/WCGART chart which shows current and recent history averages. We'll watch if this one overshoots. All these changes sure turn the chart into a spaghetti festival. The just returned C4CW T5 target running at just 2 hours average will have pulled a lever to compensate on other sciences so the present validators can continue keep up with the 700,000 results and up that are getting through daily. Stay tuned as WCG continues to evolve the underlying technology. --//-- [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Dec 16, 2011 8:34:38 AM] |

I checked on my machines, and for the moment no change. They all validate between 4.0 and 5.5 hours CPU time.
----------------------------------------I admit these are very fast machines   |

4.5 to 5.5 here on both of mine

Midday stats out and FTM the trending is stronger up [light blue line] in http://bit.ly/WCGFAM but not yet earth shattering. Just the HumanDHFRdry or across the board?

I did notice an increase - but not sure if this is temporary or not.

Had several with very long TTC times, then 2/3rd in the remaining time started declining rapidly. At any rate, the project chart hints at having had the worst of the step up. Now it's at 7.91 hours mean from 5.4 some 4 days ago. With CW and CMD generating larger numbers of shorties to offset, the WCG mean has barely moved (light blue line at bottom): http://bit.ly/WCGALL . Think the techs still think it's too low in prepping for when those GPU race machines start entering the arena, sometime anytime... the scheduler could be doing overtime. :D
