3) Message boards : Number crunching : Fairer distribuiton of work(Flame Fest 2007) (Message 15243) Posted 30 Oct 2006 by Peter Cheung Post: I agree with WimTea... The NanoHive distribution of work was very good. Every time a wu was finished, I got another one, but no more than 3 at a time... Implementation of that shouldn't be so complicated and it would be better for us all... ;-) But the situation in LHC@Home is different, the time required to finish a WU varies a lot. Quite a lot of them get finished in a minute (or even few seconds) while some of them took >5 hours in my machine. If the system you suggest is implemented, the scheduler may receive too many requests when such short WUs are sending out.
4) Message boards : Number crunching : Work Units still pending? (Message 13669) Posted 19 May 2006 by Peter Cheung Post: I have one even older pending WU: http://lhcathome.cern.ch/workunit.php?wuid=371751 It's there since Jul 2005

6) Message boards : Number crunching : @Markku - Estimated WU Completion (Message 8957) Posted 27 Jul 2005 by Peter Cheung Post: It seems that the estimated to-completion time of the new batch of WUs (names start with wjun1D_...) is reduced. For the previous WUs, the estimated time is 20~21 hours in my machine (which would finish the WU in about 7 hrs), but for the new ones the estimated to-completion time is about 13:45. Yet it is still twice the actual running time.
7) Message boards : Number crunching : Deadline 13 Days, 21 Hours and 20 Minutes (Message 7543) Posted 9 May 2005 by Peter Cheung Post: > If you work it out, 13d21h20m is 20000 minutes. The CPDN deadline is 356000 > minutes. Quite why they'd pick those numbers I can't tell you... > The deadline length of CPDN, 347 Days 5 Hours and 20 minutes, equals 500000 minutes.
