One of my machines (the slowest one) received 11 of these strange looking work units: w1_lhc.new_err_2004_bb_err__1__64.1_59.11__10_12__5__54_1_sixvf_boinc78_1 w1_lhc.new_err_2004_bb_err__1__64.1_59.11__10_12__5__72_1_sixvf_boinc80_3 The rest have various names but they all look similar. These are using SixTrack 4.67 and are 100k turn from what I can gather. Do these few drops of work to a thirsty man in the desert of no work from LHC mean good times are once again around the corner? Or will it be business as usual, and when these are gone, who knows when the next batch will show? Hmmmmm time will tell I guess, just happy to have something LHC related to finally do.... ;)

Lucky you! I just updated LHC on all my machines and got diddly-squat :-( Gaspode the UnDressed http://www.littlevale.co.uk |

Got also some of these WUs. But my ones have only 1000 turns and are cruncghed in 1 minute. Very strange. |

Just downloading 13 of them.... and BOINC tells me "No work available"! Quite puzzled.... WinXP Home, P4 3.2GHz HT, 512Mb RAM./Win2K, P4 1.8GHz, 512MB RAM Join World Wide S.E.T.I.

(LOL) My faster P4's are not receiving anything, even after repeatedly updating the client or resetting the project |

Not 13... they've just become 21! WinXP Home, P4 3.2GHz HT, 512Mb RAM./Win2K, P4 1.8GHz, 512MB RAM Join World Wide S.E.T.I.

Now they are 25.... I'm totally baffled... I hope there won't be more coming! Fortunately (little consolation) they are on my P4 HT machine... WinXP Home, P4 3.2GHz HT, 512Mb RAM./Win2K, P4 1.8GHz, 512MB RAM Join World Wide S.E.T.I.

How much credit do they claim, generally speaking? I've finished downlading them. Time to completion it says 43 seconds. WinXP Home, P4 3.2GHz HT, 512Mb RAM./Win2K, P4 1.8GHz, 512MB RAM Join World Wide S.E.T.I.

Given the appearance of "err" twice in the WU names, I believe they are testing. Testing what, who knows. Is it the difference between XP and 2000's value of zero? Or perhaps the discontinuity area of some equation? <img src="http://www.boincstats.com/stats/teambanner.php?teamname=GasBuddy"> <img src="http://www.boincstats.com/stats/banner.php?cpid=84c0cf7846cbf28338406e54b3eb8a83"> |

> They Broke IT! Server is going kputt. i got 21 ... but one unit hang ... it run about 5 hours at 100% .. and one cpu does idle cyles .. Grrr..eat ? :-( I suspend this unit and hope this will never hapen again |

I got 4 of them. Estimated time 1:05 (that's 1 minute, 5 seconds!) on a P4, 1.8GHz, non-HT. They haven't started running yet, so I can sit and look at them in the queue...

That's exactly what I did... sit there and look at them being crunched! ;) WinXP Home, P4 3.2GHz HT, 512Mb RAM./Win2K, P4 1.8GHz, 512MB RAM Join World Wide S.E.T.I.

I got more than 35 units, all lasted no more than 45 seconds each. Were processed, sent back and nothing appears in my results, someone should do something about this! It seems they are lost in the middle of nowhere. What a pity!! I'll probable have to drop the project. And believe me I am patient, but some things go beyond all limits. |

Yes, I know they have all disappeared from the results page. Read this thread http://lhcathome.cern.ch/forum_thread.php?id=1414 WinXP Home, P4 3.2GHz HT, 512Mb RAM./Win2K, P4 1.8GHz, 512MB RAM Join World Wide S.E.T.I.

Shutting down boinc and re-starting helped, also just leaving it until the one running wu completed seemed to work as well as next time I looked 2 were at it again.
