These are regular work units. They are a new style of work units from CEP2 researchers. Thus why the validator was disabled, they caused some issues with validation that needed to be sorted out.
Thanks, -Uplinger |

Cool. Glad things are working (or at least starting to work) now.

The few i have are running and doing well fingers crossed!
----------------------------------------i restarted a coupe that had check pointed but i have one that has gone 5 hours and no checkpoint- not restarting that. in the middle of the stats update so i'm going to leave it alone.. ![]() |

Did anyone give consideration to increasing the run hours up from 18 ???? Looks like my first unit will take 17hr 59min 57sec's .... hummm?
----------------------------------------Thats based on CPU time of 5:12:59 @ 28.981% from the properties window. Lets see.... [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Aug 30, 2014 2:33:14 AM] |

My units have an estimated run time of 24 hours while the percentage complete is still working relative to the 18 hours hard limit.

Thats based on CPU time of 5:12:59 @ 28.981% from the properties window. Lets see.... They were 'bout a year ago extended from 12 to 18 hours. The new lib and job order output will inform the scientists if they need more runtime to get a meaningful minimum output, most important and longest job at start. But, iirc is 1.67ghz dual core really made for this science? Look at how far your wingmen get and decide. |

My units have an estimated run time of 24 hours while the percentage complete is still working relative to the 18 hours hard limit. Original runtime is based on project current average flops stored in the task header. Your device then computes based on it's benchmarked performance how much time it needs. Projecting 24 hours implies it's not fast enough to do it all, but given quite a few tasks exit long before job #6, not much can be said of the true end time, hence the 18 hours percent progress base. Seen too many that went from 40-50 percent to 100 in a blink of an eye. Also wcg has decided to block the function of the duration correction factor, the agent will never learn then adapt. Probably it never would as the runtimes on a per job bases are so hard to predict. As there's only just been a resume, the servers may have been intentionally set for a long runtime, high flops. As more results return, the average flops will be adapted in new work task headers. |

My CPU is an i7 2600k running at stock speed - what estimates are being used for slower CPUs?
----------------------------------------The work units appear to be running like the previous ones with the first checkpoint after 3 or 4 hours. I have looked at the latest benchmark in stdoutdae.txt and it shows 3.36Gflops. The properties for the unit show 53136 Gflops of work with an application speed of 0.62Gflops. The application speed for the FAAH and MCM1 work units are 2.78Gflops and 2.43Gflops. It is the first time I have noticed (or even looked for) different application speeds for different projects. edit for spelling [Edit 1 times, last edit by ca05065 at Aug 30, 2014 10:28:04 AM] |

As long as the programs run and the time to complete it is 10 days start to end the only event that should matter is if it gets in a loop, and that is what a upper limit CPU time is there to prevent. It really shouldn't matter if the CPU clock runs at 800MHz as long as the unit is completed before the 10 day dead line or if the CPU time is 2 full days as long as its error free. You shouldn't confuse the quality of science with technology at hand Forest, science is as science does. The grid is like a box of chocolates, you never know what putter will find the best result. just saying.... edit for appearance sake...
