Personally I want to know what on Earth is taking crunchers so long to get the last 100 WUs in. :-P

Like mom always said "We'll get there when we get there"

...and as I'm sure I'll say to my children...

Well I noticed that if a Wu is not downloaded correctly (I hade that problem due to the fact that my ISP upgraded my connection) boinc tries a few times, after a while it says it cant and tries to download another and another. In the end I ended up with 10 Wu's that I could not crunch and they where no longer on my computer but where waiting for confirmation on the website.

This Saturday the deadline ended and a few of the wu's where resend to other participants.

What I find odd is that the server does not check if a computer can handle all the wu's that have been send to it (I hade 10*32.00 credits of work assigned to me). A small feedback of the client telling the server it does not have any work would be nice so the server knows that the send wu's are never going to be completed.

Another small study (150000 jobs) was run last week, but people grab the stuff so fast that it never really showed. The last few results of that run returned yesterday late afternoon. I have been asking the physicist what is planned for the future, but no news yet.

v4.45 and later clients already reports-back all currently-cached results in each scheduler-request, but a project must themselves enable re-sending of any "missing" results, something it seems only Einstein@home has currently enabled.


Especially for a project like LHC@home that needs fast turnaround-times, not having to wait on any "ghost"-results would be an advantage...

Maybe a break for the end of year??
