Would this not have been what the old Aplha project was for ?

Good point; too late now I think but I shall try and remember.
Also change user side to make deadline proportional to number
of turns or max CPU estimate. Eric.

Sorry don't understand the credit system. I'll review with Igor when
possible.

We cannot predict the unpredictable. We are studying chaos.
The stimate is only an estimate and of the Maximum time
required.
BUT I agree the deadline should have been extended. Eric.

"floating-point error accumulation"

Be very carefull and watch out for those, they can give wild errored results.
Had to deal with them in my laborary all the time.
( Can vary from type cpu's, OS)

i'm going on 33 hours myself w/ a task. it's ~75% complete though, so it should finish with a total run time well within the 48-hour upper bound that Eric mentioned several posts up. this is on an X6 1090T simulating 7 cores - 5 for LHC@H, and 2 for T4T@H dual-threaded tasks.

Wow, one of my 3.75GHz AMD boxes finished one that took 24 hours... and the wingman is a 1.6GHz Pentium-M that will probably take 3 times longer...

Does this mean the equations are turning out more and more relevant data???

Many longer tasks lately... but they seem to finish just fine...

I have one task at 29 hrs now with 14 more to go on the same box... I have another on the 950 box at 39hrs elapsed with 11 more to go as well... LOL!

I'm afraid my old P4-m 1.4 GHz is not gonna make the deadline on these WUs ... :(

35 hrs in with 30 hrs estimated left on a 2.5Ghz i3. Others completed at 20hrs and 26 hrs with a couple of 10 minute ones thrown in just to confuse the estimator. Good to see longer WUs here as the longer the run, the more stable the beam.
Not sure which is the preferred project between here and T4T as they're not really "rival" projects, just opposite sides of the detector, although I suppose a more stable beam should give better results so I've stopped getting T4T work to concentrate here.

Some of these are extra long 72% @ 41 hours ( i7, 3.33 ghz)

T4T has 10 times less users, around 500 active in the last 24hrs.
I'm sticking with them.

Well I should have said "floating-point rounding error" accumulation.
Every WU is run twice (at least) and is validated if we have two
identical results. t appears that we have only some 50 CPUs out of
tense of thousand givibg erroneous results. Eric.

i have long WU's too, some of them are finished but the credits are so poor.
long WU ~8 credits/hour
normal WU ~30 credits/hour

there is a correction necessary

Right I went a bit over the top here BUT......
As this is an experiment we are exploring new ground.
It certainly seems there is a problem with credits.
I don't think BOINC should send WUs if the Estimate divided
by the speed of the CPU exceeds the deadline or is more than
50%/40%/10%??? of the deadline. Maybe that is OK.
All to be looked at soonest. Eric.
