One of mine has run dry and the other will be dry in a few hours.
----------------------------------------I'm going to pull the appinfo, and will keep it this way until all HCC is done then a spot of bitmining on those machines may well be the next step just to investigate if it is a viable option for me. (Gotta find a source of funding since one machine has packed in and will probably need some new hardware. It'll be interesting to see if another project can help fund this one). EDIT: I forgot to thank uplinger for the timely warning. Thanks, uplinger!  Crunching in memory of my Mum PEGGY, cousin ROPPA and Aunt AUDREY.

We do not store all the incoming workunits on our servers until they're needed. The input files alone for HCC1 for storing 100 days of work would be about 5TB of storage (my quick estimate). We try to keep about a 10 day buffer of work for every project, but there are many limitations which causes that number to usually be different. Also, just got the first warning about being out of work. Should be sending only resends very soon. -Uplinger I didn"t see that as the question :( It's all about the science for almost all Donors. Just answer honestly and frankly and we'll just keep donating ;-) Let's not take WCG to The FAH level of double-speak please. |

Guess its time to reconfigure at least one of my crunchers so I don't run dry. Sounds like we are getting close to the end of HCC. Lets hope for another GPU project coming along soon.  I think not..... I'll just let my appinfo.xml keep idling, if and when it happens until the HCC1 project upity's decide to come clean, open, and honest about what's happenning and/or going to happen. Been here and done this :-( All other science will be held up with my hardware if this is their choice. It's WCG and let them mitigate the issue. I'm just not jumping through hoops for mis-information. Don't have the time anymore to constantly reset my projects based on conjecture ;( |

. . . The input files alone for HCC1 for storing 100 days of work would be about 5TB of storage (my quick estimate) . . . -Uplinger I don't understand what the big deal is about 5 TB of storage is. I have at least 30TB of my own between my machines and almost 20 of that is my main rig and I'm just a lowly end user. This isn't even for a home business or anything.

I have several old PCs that only crunch HCC (CPU version). Any estimation on how long will be this "low work" period? Hours? days?

Don't have the time anymore to constantly reset my projects based on conjecture ;( I can see holding on IF the scientists stated it would be a short dry spell but would prefer to keep crunching instead of a idling a cruncher. Lets hope someone at WCG or the scientists confirm one way or the other. With all the data they have, could be a little while to sift through.

As shdbcamping said, considering the hoops we're expected to jump through in switching back and forth, especially for those of us with multiple machines and not to mention those of us who have recently dropped a couple grand on new hardware, I think it would be, shall we say 'courteous' at the very least to provide some sort of estimate. |

Im sure you need some faster then you have at home ;) this isnt low end user to have 30tb eather. And....look little more forward..there are some more projects on wcg that needs fast storage ;) |

I've got two computers running GPU only with an App_info.XML file. I've got to leave them unattended for a few days. Do you recommend pulling the app file to allow them to get other work? You can put 2 sub-projects in your app info, so (correct me if I am wrong, but I have a feeling that) when HCC1 GPU will run dry, app info will continue to crunch other project on all free threads (I think this already happened to me)  Cheers  Crunching@Home since January 13 2000.
