We have had million turn studies over the years that run the ranges of sizes from 30 credits =3hrs to these type and an even longer version 150 credits=20 hrs on the same type technology.

The million turn studies rarely crash into the collider hence no 0 claims here.

I find it very interesting that there has been NO response to this thread from any administrators.....why? This thread is 7 months old!!!! It is an issue...I have pending going back almost 2 years that haven't been cleaned up preventing me from cleaning up my host list.

I assume after 24 hours of no response that there is no answers to my questions....or the answers are apparent by no response. I assume we are on the back-burner because the scientists have already gotten the answers they required for the installation of the magnets. I suspect as we get closer to the initialization of LHC there will be a flurry of new studies. Howevever in the meantime I am SADLY suspending LHC on most of my computers and await some response(hopefully favorable) to concerns here raised.

And he still is. At least until i get a job. ;-)

I have made a quick fix. Please check whether the system works again. Some credit and jobs have probably been lost, since i do not have the time to trawl through the backups.


Love the disclaimer Chrulle Ex-admin....and TY for all your attention and caring here....But this still raises the red flag for us crunchers that still needs to be addressed...ie:no active admin.....I will have more faith and continue to crunch as best as I have done over the last year and a half if I (We) get communication,feedback and responses as we have in the past...Is Ben Segal still around? Maybe an e-mail to him on the current unpleasant conditions? Perhaps a short update from a Current not ex (hehe) admin would be appropriate about now on how to keep any enthusiasm for LHC :)

[EDIT] Oh and of course there are still massive (relatively) pending credit issues,.... quorum but not validated still left, but again TY again Chrulle for un log-jamming for us [EDIT]

I was reflecting on my 14 months experience with LHC and thinking what if the recent announcement had said something like " The Physicists decided they did not like the results and are no longer going to use the Boinc platform."
How would we feel? There wouldn't be the anticipation that is growing here. :) I think back to all the "breaks" and the smile on my face when I was pleasantly suprised at crunching LHC wu's when I was checking Boinc on a host on my ever requesting machines.( Then running to see if all the other hosts had or needed work.) This is what we have to look forward to hopefully VERY soon hehe (they have been known to have longer than expected delays.....(:
[EDIT]I have a personal milestone I have been waiting now for a month to acheive after my goal 14 months or so ago of LHC being the top project in my Boinc credits ....soooo close now [EDIT]

Back on topic.......As I have said on our team message boards...Ya know I was thinking (could be dangerous)....... not only is LHC attractive to do because you are helping design the largest supercollider ever made and it is particle physics.... almost as intreging is how they give you work...and then take it away..... kinda makes you want more...all the time,addictive(Like a woman ) hehe not to offend any female participants or readers(disclaimer)Again as I have also said I like to keep a larger work cue than what appears "acceptable" to many(hoarding is the term most used)..... but I say even when a user max's work goes to deadline and/or what BOINC will allow ,(I don't 4 day 4.72 gives me 2-3 days) so what? Isn't that what the deadline is for? Isn't that why they lowered the deadline from 14 days to 8 days? People who complain about this (new and old ) it is a dead-non-issue get over it and trust the developers to know what they need.... some of you almost sound jealous when you get no workunits and others are crunching....

Jim key word in my statement is without requesting new work.... if you are on automatic you may never had realized 4.45 will send in less than 1 minute to report 95% of time w/o new work request which on 4.72 may take hours on a higher work cue (more than 1 day) [EDIT] Trying to be clearer in my answer to you Jim and all...I had been running only LHC with a 10 day connect to network giving me 3 days of work with Boinc 4.19,4.25,4,45 and now 4.72 until LHC changed deadline at same time 4.72 was working better with time to completions.... I brought time to connect down to now 4 days and may take up to 8-12 hours to report (reporting only when asking for new work) due to the ever changing time to connect every time I finish a workunit. Boinc 4.45 would again report and NOT ask for new work in less than a minute[EDIT]

<blockquote>Actually, what you are experiencing is not an error, instead it is the proper function of BOINC.

Yes this is somewhat true Jim because in practice Boinc 4.45 will auto report without requesting new work (nice little feature that no other versions have to my knowledge) but 4.72 will not auto report :( as I am now using 4.72 so I don't have to have a 10 day work cue to get 3 days work and can now again rejoin other projects

No Paul,1st it makes sense and no if you crunch enough units it works better and better(# of units not time spent crunching) (and thank-you for your thoughtful resonse) 4.72 works perfect:) Since LHC my only production project and doing about 750 credits a day(total 750, this host about 270) 4.72 on an ht, machine (tough to adjust work que now with 2 out of 4 on 4.72)It is downloading more work than I want. (3 day) Give it time ...seems to be working here....have already adjusted down to a whole 9 days of work (for Colt) hope to refine it to 1 or 2 days in future(at least now I have hope)
