Yeah, ARP1 really should have an active core cap. We're here to progress science, not slow it down, which is the consequence... a task sitting in queue for at least 30 hours... a task holding up the next step 30 hours.

It does :) Set up basic for 1 Core :) Its just when people adjust it to more . Dont think they will do more then there ammount of cores soon enough when they realize its really 20+ hours for normal computers :) |

A third bullet was added to the list in the original post in this thread to discuss work unit availability. My PC should have finished all WUs for other projects by this afternoon. After that, I will try downloading one ARP WU, and run it by itself, to see how it goes (yes I like to start out slowly too). So are you telling me, since I'm trying to be careful about running this new project, and am slow starting, that I won't be able to get any work now? So my PC will just set there idling until work is available? |

Another question -- since my (old) PC successfully processed a beta WU two weeks ago for this project while running other projects, should I assume that I can run other projects successfully while running this project?

I've got plenty of Zen+/Zen2 cores over here, ready to crank on this problem. I learned my lesson about oversubscribing machines with MIP1 (what up, cache thrashing), and I was part of the ARP beta, so I feel pretty comfortable with my settings and I know how long these WUs will run on my hardware. It's frustrating to be excited about a new, super important project, and then discover that you're not going to be able to help very much because all the WUs went to people who happened to be awake before you were on day 1. |

My first (and only) ARP1 ran 13 hours 24 minutes on a Ryzen 3700x (Ubuntu 18.04). As I recall that is considerably longer than the beta.

Dont think they will do more then there ammount of cores soon enough when they realize its really 20+ hours for normal computers :) That's an easily changed value, this default of 1 and reading the thread, it's being done. And soon enough like with HTSB those realizing the stream is not constant will set it higher than core count, for me me me need to have a constant busy for my my my machine. It's why most of the HSTB I get take an average of 4 days to find a wingman. The theoretical best of about 190-200 days to complete the simulated year will rapidly become a year. Mark my words |

Oh glowing red-one, I disagree. Folks that DL more ARP1 WUs than they can process will have the server abort them. Then they drop to one WU at a time. Like FAH2 it will run best if it's the only project running on a computer. When WCG starts supplying enough for a client to want to run just ARP1 we'll find out how it really behaves.

Yes, but something to learn for you... Return deadline is 7 days... that's 7 days the sequence is frozen.
----------------------------------------2nd point of learning, an overdue abort (No Reply) is not counted as error, so the full count remains. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Oct 31, 2019 4:21:53 PM] |

WCG needs to fix that if they want this project to run quickly. Server abort should occur if ARP1 WU cannot be returned in 48 hours.
