Then there is a downtime of a few days / weeks, and more is issued. I suspect that this pattern will continue until the construction is complete. At which point, I hope that we will be given some of the particle tracks to follow.

Hopefully when construction is complete they will come up with other good uses for this. I am sure some of the people using it will need a lot of computing power that they don't have. As a lot of the researchers are at University's they have small budgets.

I guess what John Keck is seeing is that his computers download enough LHC units to go into EDF and build up a negative debt while there is work, and that the gaps in LHC work allow debt to "rise" back to zero.

Or just maybe he is using an old client - there was at least one release where the debt went on rising past zero when there was no work - a behaviour I preferred but apparently others shouted it down so it got changed (but that is a different argument)

Wrong explanation. I have the latest alpha client (not GR or CPDNBBC). What happens is there are enough other projects that they cause EDF mode from time to time when there is no work here. If this project is not in an active defferal at that time (or the defferal expires before EDF) the LDT will still rise.

Basically, if the host is not asking for more work, it doesn't know that there is none...
