Morgan,
Your computer ran that workunit for 31.8 hours. The other computers which processed that workunit took 1.5 hours, 2.9 hours, 2.5 hours. As a result your computer claimed a lot of credit while the other computers claimed much less. Due to the way that BOINC grants equal credit to all computers that process a workunit, you were granted credit that was less then what your computer claimed. The question is why did your computer take so long to process this workunit (and I noticed, the other workunits). This computer only has 386MB of RAM. Are you noticing a lot of disk IO with this computer? I noticed that you participate in a lot of BOINC projects and that have set your profile to leave applications in memory when preempted. This means that every project running on that machine will take up some of the RAM and it is likely that your computer is paging out to disk like crazy and therefore processing work very slowly. |

Ah ok ,strange though that lack of ram would affect 1 project 20x .
p.s. i didnt realize you used a quorum for results as the boinc pages for results are not present and what info i can find (yes mom i tried) didn't show me the others results. thanks for your prompt response. and for pointing me towards things to test this evening and to check (like if rosetta ralph and predictor (rosetta) are likewise affected, if i find anything interesting i'll let u know. p.p.s. that maciine is the only 1 of 6 atm that has a cabinet the big blue hd light rarely flickers |

nelsoc is putting the final touches on the page that will let you see the status of other results for the workunit. We hope to have that out to you next week.
Let us know what you find. thanks, Kevin |

Thanks to this excelent post, Thanks Honza and a little playin with the system monitor (win98) i see that indeed when the sum of suspended project ram usage exceeds ram capacity, low level read and write occour between the "access disk at most" spikes. i guess rosettta loses out on that machine. thanks, Kevin My Pleasure, & Thank You, eh. |

Hello Morgan,
Your Virtual Memory should be large enough to hold all your BOINC projects simultaneously plus a normal sized VM for ordinary programs. Since FAAH alone can use 300 MB of virtual memory, I am guessing that your VM needs to be well over a gigabyte. Multiple BOINC projects is a very VM-intensive process. |

a little more digging in this machine (set and forgot long ago) this win was tweaked (xteq) to force apps to use ram (which means,i guess, mucking with size of vm)
with just wcg faah ,run quick+aok with es030_ also this machine is about 6 on my to-do list (unless it sells) i'll prob *nix it till then i'll be keepin an eye on it Thanks again eh.  |
