All the complaining is like buying a Jeep and then demanding it must go 150mph. It just doesn't work, because it isn't designed to do that.
LHC is exactly the same... As of now it isn't designed to have an endless stream of WorkUnits pouring out, that's the type of Project you joined.


Falcon you totally miss the point.

The complaint is NOT the lack of an endless stream of work. The complaint is not being unable to aquire work because a number of users have deep caches - which locks work away for days that others could be doing.

Meanwhile the ISS remains a gray area. Can you recall any great headline-making discoveries borne from the station?


No, nor should you expect any in the near term.

The ISS *is still under construction*. Just like the LHC were are all here crunching away on - it will be years before any significant real science is conducted.

River, I wrote about a five page reply to your post - but I deleted it because I can sum it much more succintly thusly;

You haven't the foggiest clue what you are talking about.

Its rare, I forget what the threshold is, but it is something like 100 work units. What is happening is the re-issues are trickling out ... I am forcing my systems to finsih thier queues so that all mine are returned as soon as possible.

I think I am down to less than 10 across all my systems ...


I emptied mine out a couple of hours back. I had about eight that all had been validated, so my crunching them would accomplish little, so I aborted them to get the cycles back on E@.

When should we re-attach to the project?
