Further to my earlier posts,
At last I think I understand what is going on. The agents in question are on machines that run for only 7 hours each night. If I turned one on during the day the agent might show a running time of 3 hours for example. I therefore assumed that it must have downloaded a result 3 hours before it was last turned off. However, the FAAH project seems to have checkpoints that can be hours apart (sometimes even more than 7 hours) so I think the agent has often been starting from near the beginning again, and just fooling me into believing that it must have returned a result and acquired a new work unit. I had my machines set up to turn off by a shutdown command at a scheduled time each day. I have now modified this to hibernate instead of shut down. I think this has resolved the problem but I'll know for certain within a day or two. Incidentally, there is no in-built Windows command-line for entering hibernation as a scheduled task so this took a bit of tracking down. If anyone else needs to know how to do it I'll willingly share the trick. Regards, David. |

My computers don't really hibernate. The energy saving feature just turns off the monitor after half-an-hour.

Hi retsof,
That's ideal of course if you can afford the power cost to keep them all running 24/7. Unfortunately, I can't now I have stopped full time work so most of mine are timed to crunch on low(er) cost night-time electricity. David. |

DavidHobbs, as you will have concluded yourself, the only thing then doing is to assign work to these 'hibernnaters', so that at least they can reach the next segment beginning. Even at night rate cost, i though think it an incredible waste, for potentially they throw away hours each night...it's hard to estimate how long each segment takes. Would it thus not be making sense to let them only run for the x amount cost of electricity you have budgetted. Ininterrupted, much greater efficiency, thus they might be doing in 48 hours constant in stead of 7 nights at 7 hours
---------------------------------------- The word out is confusing, as today i'm reading in the x-project matrix of the Unofficial BOINC wiki that WCG-HDC requirement is 750mb virtual memory and HPF2 114mb, still. That's an update posted July 27! Someone claimed here that (s)he managed to get HDC to start on 512mb.....long as there is enough contiguous swapfile space minimum setting maybe? HDC's have a fast crunch time of 2 to 3 hours (p4-2.53ghz at 75% throttle)
