Posted 7 Sep 2011 by Aurora Borealis Post: I got a few v530.03 WU when I attached to LHC 1.0. Now I get the messages 06/09/2011 10:51:57 PM | LHC@home 1.0 | Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. but then for some reason my account shows Maximum daily WU quota per CPU 0/day I didn't think it was possible to go below a quota of 1. It must be a bug in the system. |

task crashed
(Message 22352)
Posted 28 May 2010 by Aurora Borealis Post: I was running the test task (a bit more than 17 hours runtime), I was waiting to finish, last 5 minutes.. I clicked to the graphic window button during this waiting. And the task stopped with calculation error. I hope, the 98% task and the 17 hours runtime wasn\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t for nothing. The Problem is not Boinc, It the project\'s WU. See other thread on the subjet Do not show graphics... |

Strange 1st wu
(Message 22264)
Posted 24 Apr 2010 by Aurora Borealis Post: My second wu is behaving strangely as well, After reaching 100% completion: the elapsed time continued to run, the time to completion was blank, the status still showed as running but no CPU time was shown being used in the properties tab. I have suspended the wu for now. Should I abort it or is this normal behavior?( This extra running only lasted for about 2mins. before I suspended ) I would try exiting Boinc completely and restarting it before giving up on a WU. Or maybe a system reboot will sometimes will get a stuck WU going again. An abort is only a last resort. |

I have suspended the wu for now. Should I abort it or is this normal behavior?( This extra running only lasted for about 2mins. before I suspended ) I would let it run. I have several project that stay at 100% for some time before completing. I haven\'t had an LHC for a while, so I\'m not sure if it does it too. I do have a project that regularly gets switched out to \'waiting to run\' while sitting at 100% only to complete when it get a turn at the CPU again. It's not uncommon for cleanup work to need to be done when the main crunching has finished. |

Posted 20 Mar 2010 by Aurora Borealis Post: Well, 6.10.39 is now out, including the latest scheduler fix. You can find it here. Remember that this is an experimental build - though I don\\\\\\\'t anticipate any problems. There was nothing really major wrong with .39 other than they missed a couple of bug fixes that should of made it into the release. Basically, an accounting error was made compiling it. They are now testing .43 |

Posted 15 Mar 2010 by Aurora Borealis Post: The problem of a project going into high priority when new work from a different project is received is often caused by low Resource Share for the project in HP. CPDN is especially sensitive when it has low RS because of its long running WU. |

Why are you picking UOTD that have no credit ???
(Message 20953)
Posted 11 Jan 2009 by Aurora Borealis Post: The last 2 days have seen 2 UOTD that have 0 -- ZERO -- NIL -- NADA credit. I think you should have work completed to be UOTD imho. IFAK UOTD pick is totally random. I don't know if the server routine even has an option to check RAC/Credits. P.S. I wish they would update the message board software and use a different template layout. I can't even see what I'm typing and the additional backslash are annoying. |

Small batch of work?!
(Message 17361)
Posted 14 Jul 2007 by Aurora Borealis Post: I just noticed that one of my computers picked up 5 wu's today! All crunched without issue ... is there some testing going on? If so, great news ... and I'm (we are) ready for more work! Lucky you. I noticed there was work earlier while doing updates on a system I run offline. Unfortunately, my cache was already filled with other work and wasn't able to grab any. By the time I increased my cache size it was all gone. Bummer. |

Posted 20 Jun 2007 by Aurora Borealis Post: A simple update once in a while would suffice. Can I get work units or can't I? Are some people getting units and I can't, what is going on..... The project is still in transition. There is currently no work being sent out. Patience has always been key here. I don't expect work for some time yet and even when we start getting some again, it likely to come in short bursts with long pause in between. |

How to tune Boinc for LHC?
(Message 13823)
Posted 2 Jun 2006 by Aurora Borealis Post: sslickerson share suggestion (500000:1:1) is a good one. Einstein has a 2 week due date and Seti now has even longer due dates on most WU. LHC should easily get crunching priority and Boinc will only bring your low share projects into the mix when necessary to meet their deadlines. A cache of .2 days would ensure that you have a couple of LHC WU on hand while they are available. The large resource share and the long term debt will see to it that you will not get new work from the other projects while LHC still has work available. As long as you don't try to micromanage, Boinc will put all the emphasis on doing LHC. Happy crunching. |

(Message 13524)
Posted 7 May 2006 by Aurora Borealis Post: If yes, then when? LHC releases WU in burst. They analyze the results and then create a new batch to be sent out. There is no fix schedule for this. It can be anywhere from a week to a month between new batches. |

Why is it?
(Message 11532)
Posted 1 Dec 2005 by Aurora Borealis Post: If I understand correctly, what you're doing is increasing the 'Connect to network about every' x days in your general preference. This tells the scheduler how many days of work to keep in your cache. Unless you change the ratio of shares between your projects, what you will get is an even number of WU-hour from each project to fill your cash. That is to say, with every thing else being equal and a 50-50 share, if you ask for two more days of work and have two projects you will receive one days worth of WU from each projects. If your intention is to load more WU in a specific project, you have to skew the shares in favor of that project as well as increasing your connect time. |
