So, although I've no idea of your crunching power (many cores you've got available to crunch, how long your machine(s) is/are on per day and how much 'umph' they can produce/week), there's still time. If I understand things correctly, "umph" isn't important. An 8086 (if that worked) that kicks out one unit a day makes the same progress towards a badge as a single core that does 60 a day. Badge hunting is strictly cores*days, right? From a badge hunting view (I should get red, I think green is out of reach (8 cores, 240 days away)), it would be better if people used their slowest machines on this project, which would stretch the number of units available across more days. |

Yes folacin, you're right - I was forgetting for a minute that badges are just soley based on time (and thus, I'd covered that with the question of number of cores available), so at it's simplest, 1 WU/day = 60 (or even, n) WU's/day on a single core (i.e., they both corrolate to 24 hours in a day - it's just points where things are different). ![]() |

I'm at nearly 89 CPU days. For a ruby badge I'd need about another month more, so that's out of the question. Therefore I'll finish the gold badge which should be done in a few hours and go back to crunching HCC1(*) and GFAM. I'll then release my surplus CFSW tasks as well -- though I only have about 20 of those.
----------------------------------------(*) HCC1 has lots of days left, according to Rob's charts. But when the GPU crunching starts for real, we might get a similar surprise as with CFSW. So I'm taking no chances this time ;-) -- MW EDIT: typos ![]() [Edit 1 times, last edit by marvey11 at Sep 8, 2012 6:18:14 PM] |

marvye11, I had exactly the same concerns as you about HCC1. I got my emerald a few days ago in cfsw, and switched to HCC1 because of the possibility of the big backlog of days there vanishing if the GPU starts. Perhaps that is being paranoid, but the swift end of cfsw taught me a lesson.

fredski,
----------------------------------------Could it be that the CFSW was orphaned as a result of some crunchers dumping CFSW-WUs for 'generous' reasons that they want others to have increased chances of reaching their target badge-levels? Unless that HR (homogenous redundancy) group is at play, it's a safe bet that a CFSW-WU is wanted most everywhere so I'm at a loss why such an orphan CFSW could remain an orphan for so long. However, it's still possible that the WU just happen to have passed by the generous crunchers in succession. ; ;edit1_2012.09.09Su.1243.utc: ; On second looks, that No-reply suggests that the wing-crunchers may not have bothered to take the time and check his/her CFSW WU's deadline earlier. Anyways, let's hope that the current in-progress wing-cruncher will complete the crunch and have it reported before the new deadline. ; [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Sep 9, 2012 12:43:26 PM] |

According to my calculation, I should have reached my Sapphire badge with the WUs I have and I will be gradually releasing a few ones I do not need, already started.
Thanks for the opportunity to crunch for this projects, I would have liked to continue as it is the only one except HPF2 that goes well with one of my machines. |

Grendel90, [...]. Also, don't forget, you can cache up to 10 days' worth of WU's. I recommend increasing it slowly, e.g. if you had started increasing it a week ago, bumping it up 0.5 day per day is what I would have recommended; now I would recommend increasing it 1 day every day until it gets to 10... if you increase it to 10 days all at once, some of the due dates might expire before you get to them. Hope that helps! |

If nothing unforseen happens should hit sapphire within 6 days, so has stopped asking for more work. Any overshooting tasks will be aborted to help-out other batch-chasers.
----------------------------------------For some unknown reason one computer desided getting roughly 13 days of work, so a bunch of tasks will be auto-aborted as they hit their deadlines The 1st. group of 56 already aborted yesterday. ![]() "I make so many mistakes.
