I've the same problem. Can anybody help us ?
P.S. = Where is IBM support since it is advertising all over the vorld that is the sponsor of this no-profit initiative ? I' m disppointed that many users have technical questions but hardly anybody don't give adequate support.  |

 hi 2 u all well I installed 2day, I was enjoyed when my percent jumped to 3% but now I have zero again ??? what the F*** ??? Why there is no body to answer ? WE WANT TO HELP !!!!!! HELP US TO HELP U !!!! it's pointless, I run WCG exchangleably (how to write this???exchangly???) with seti@home day by day, but now I come back to my seti  when I get some answer I run WCG again, it looks very cool !!!! ------Mitis-- scientist - a person that will completly ignore naked woman for vial of colorfull liquid. |

Copied from a copy of this Post.
 A "work unit" consists of various data including the protein sequence. The longer the sequence the "harder" it is to predict the fold. Longer sequence proteins take longer to process (sometimes much longer). Due to the nature of the work, it's impossible to predict how long any specific work unit may take. i.e. it's non-determinsitic. That's really the beauty of putting this on a grid: it's a difficult computation problem. Sometimes a work unit may not "converge" as we call it. This means it just hasn't found any way to fold this specific protein in a given amount of time and gives up. When it determines it can't converge it just stops working on it, sends it back (telling us it didn't converge) and you get a new work unit. However, it will try very, very hard before it gives up. This would explain why you saw it processing for probably 4 hours and still be at 0.0%...then suddenly you saw it go to 0.4% and the CPU time went down. Points-wise, you should still get credit for the effort though. Have some faith in that you really are helping to promote our understanding of the human proteome. If this was easy to do, we wouldn't have put it on the grid! ---------------------------------------- Rick Alther World Community Grid Application Developer |

Sometimes this is caused by a computer that isn't completely stable and as such when the client detects a processing error it stops working and restarts. Make sure your systems is stable and if it is overclocked you may want to try running it at spec to see if that solves the problem. Remember that even though your computer may get more work units done when it is overclocked there may also be errors in the completed report for those work units which would unfortunately make them useless. So if your going to run your system overclocked you would be doing yourself a favor to run a program like "Prime95" to test it for stability prior to doing any work units because a completed work unit that contains errors is a waste of your time and ours.

First I reset the Storage space in a new profile. When I changed ALL 12 Crunchers over to it, they all stopped connecting. I ADDED storage to my Device Profile and they started to download right away. You must have enough storage too. AND it has worked for others. I set mine for 10gb and the Device seems to come up with its own number anyway.  Robert yell@badog.us |

Not TRUE !!!
I am doing this, starting waiting so time will go up (>0) and then when I quit and start again time is set back to zero !!! Evenmore, percent is increasing and when I restart its zero again. I don't get any credits or points my account still says that I didn't return any units. |
