I don't know how many days this has been going on, but lately, I have been noticing that WCG_Grid.exe has been acting odd as memory goes. One moment, it's using 24 to 28k and then I would put it on snooze, put up my browser and then take UD agent off snooze, and the memory would "return" to a normal memory setting in the Task bar (roughly 5.4 or 5.8k).
----------------------------------------It's like Dr. Jekell and Mr. Hyde!  Also, the work units seem much longer (great than 18 hours on my AMD 3500+. That never happened before. Today, I had a work unit that showed 0% after 45 minutes, so I stopped the agent and then re-booted. Started the UD agent and it started all over again. 3% after 58 minutes. Ok, that is not too bad, but lately, it seems as if every wu is 18, 19 hours or longer. Anone else having these wu's act like this? |

I have a WU on my P2 laptop that is at 90 hours and at about 50%...

Hi Johnny
Yep, finding the same here. Memory usage is up, but this is due to the new AIDS project. I can't find the post about it, but the new project seems to require about 75MB or RAM versus 25MB. Computers that don't meet the required spec for the new project (255 MB of RAM, I believe) are receiving work units from the old project. Having said that, all of my PCs, whether running the new project or old are taking much longer to process their units. I've got one ancient PII pc processing an old project work unit that is on 35% after 40 old hours. It used to do about 1 unit a day. Maybe one of the Tech gurus might be able to shed a little light on this ?? |

Hello Johnny,
I have not been tracking HPF lately, but when I just checked, my most recent unit was only 84% through after 23 hours, whereas normally I finish in about 8 hours. But Rosetta was running < 13 MB instead of the 25MB it usually shows. ?? FAAH normally seems to take 97MB. I am thinking about calling it <100MB for simplicity. mycrofth |

Since the project is new to us, we haven't been able to tune the work units quite as finely as the Human Proteome Folding work units. We will try to get them down to about one work unit per day for the average computer. |
