Is there any explanation or is it just an accident? If still valid, the explanation goes as follows: We simulate the particle trajectories around the LHC ring. If the WU finishes early, this just means that the particle "hit the wall" -- this is obviously not desired. (Probably the initial conditions were wrong.) Nethertheless this info is important, so you get credit. But it obviously does not make sense to continue the WU. Hope that helps (and is somewhat correct and understandable) Michael Team Linux Users Everywhere ID: 22894 · Reply Quote
