Re: Very Short Tasks

Seem to be getting a lot more points for these short WUs

02/04/2016 0:007:04:05:33 104,718 687
02/03/2016 0:007:04:37:39 32,647 112
02/02/2016 0:007:08:01:55 39,134 97

My last 3 days of stats. Runtime is about the same. But when these short WUs arrived, the quantity I completed went through the roof, which is fair enough, but I thought the points would be more-or-less the same. I thought the points calculation was related to the time you spend, not the quantity of WUs completed.


I'm jealous! I normally see points from OET with these short runners plummet.

Re: Very Short Tasks

FW tasks are always short ... S tasks run longer, and F tasks run longer still

Thanks for that info.
I have not taken the time to identify what distinguishes the different run lengths.

Likewise, much appreciated.

How shortlived the joy and jealousy will have been... an appropriate piece of musique Symphony Pathetique for the occasion, and I don't mean the translation 'moving' cool [OET pool average credit dropped to 18.11/hour, off by ~7 of what the other sciences are 'paying', around 25/hr: Symphony Pathetique

Re: Very Short Tasks

Hit the buffering jackpot again [maxed out at 35 per core], not hard since the octo 3770K is only doing OET1. Batches 1840-1842 ran from 6 minutes to 22, and have a full 280 minus 8 running almost all of 1844. That's going to be a ranking Jump, as it has been doing the past few weeks... yesterday 3 places :-)))))

Re: Very Short Tasks

By lucky chance I saw a WU some days ago that ran only 2 minutes and 48 seconds.
This afternoon I had a WU - didn't notice it before - that ran for a whopping 69 seconds:
1456585448 ue 532.751682 ct 67.558680 fe 10167942503194 nm OET1_0001850_xSDGP-FW_rig_2840_0 et 69.916321 es 0
(from job_log_www.worldcommunitygrid.org.txt)
ue=estimated time at start of WU
et=elapsed time in Boinc Manager
1456585448=UNIX time of completion

OET1_0001850_xSDGP-FW_rig_2840_0-- Valid 27/02/16 07:07:09 27/02/16 15:12:35 0.02 / 0.02 1.5 / 1.5
From the Result Status:
[16:04:05] Finished task #0 cpu time used 66.860171

Re: Very Short Tasks

Maybe the feeder and transitioner have a momentary 'keep up' problem...

31523 World Community Grid 2/27/2016 7:02:30 PM [sched_op] CPU work request: 346990.27 seconds; 0.00 devices
31524 World Community Grid 2/27/2016 7:02:33 PM Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks
31525 World Community Grid 2/27/2016 7:02:33 PM [sched_op] Server version 701
31526 World Community Grid 2/27/2016 7:02:33 PM No tasks sent
31527 World Community Grid 2/27/2016 7:02:33 PM No tasks are available for Outsmart Ebola Together
31528 World Community Grid 2/27/2016 7:02:33 PM This computer has reached a limit on tasks in progress
31529 World Community Grid 2/27/2016 7:02:33 PM Project has no tasks available

The device is definitely not at max per core "In Progress", all completed work reported.
