41) Message boards : Number crunching : Running out of WUs (Message 25039) Posted 31 Dec 2012 by jay Post: 31 Dec 2012 \| 5:16:35 UTC -- down to Tasks in progress --- 6 and no users in the last 24 hours. I'm crunching WCG, Seti, and Malaria Control in the meantime. I hope all the volunteers have had a great holiday - and best wishes for a happy, new year. Jay

43) Message boards : Number crunching : Running out of WUs (Message 25030) Posted 27 Dec 2012 by jay Post: Hi, I am using three projects from World Community Grid - all of which doing drug research.

Happy Holidays, Jay E.

45) Message boards : Number crunching : Running out of WUs (Message 25025) Posted 22 Dec 2012 by jay Post: Hey there, I've been supporting WCG for quite a while. My impression is that they have found actual uses for some of the the simulation results. The hard part is to pick a sub-project. They have a system requirements page that lists the expected CPU, Ram and disk utilizations. I found that helpful in picking projects for older, smaller PCs. Oh yes, the countdown continues: 22 Dec 2012 \| 19:18:31 UTC Tasks ready to send --------------------0 Tasks in progress -------------------- 63 Workunits waiting for validation ------ 0 Workunits waiting for assimilation ---- 0 Workunits waiting for file deletion --- 0 Tasks waiting for file deletion ------- 0 Transitioner backlog (hours) ---------- 0 Happy Holidays..

49) Message boards : Number crunching : Running out of WUs (Message 25010) Posted 18 Dec 2012 by jay Post: Hi there, I have tried to get WU during December. No luck. Can I assume, from the previous posts, and server status, that there is work being generated - but it gets snatched up rapidly? Server Status as of 12/17 at 8:38PM Eastern Standard time: Tasks ready to send -------------- 0 Tasks in progress --------------- 901 Workunits waiting for validation - 2 Thanks!!!! Jay
50) Questions and Answers : Sixtrack : Need Bigger pointer to status. Broken Link (Message 22611) Posted 15 Nov 2010 by jay Post: Hi. [BIG EDIT] I found a link to project status...!!! http://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/forum_thread.php?id=3164#21925 and http://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/forum_thread.php?id=3060#21277 Can this be posted in a location with high visibility? Maybe an up date on the main page? (The current status is over 5 months old...) ----- I would like to report a broken link.... http://lhcathome.cern.ch/grid/index.shtml says... You can learn much more about how grid computing works, and what it can be used for, at the GridCafe. And this linked to http://www.www.gridcafe.org/ (take out the extra www. and it works....) PS. Grid Cafe does not say what the LHC@Home WUs actually do.... Thank you!! Jay
51) Message boards : Number crunching : WUs being rejected? Very short processing time. (Message 19645) Posted 21 May 2008 by jay Post: Not sure what is going on with a few WUs.

52) Message boards : Number crunching : Short-running WU ( 13 to 30 seconds) Is this OK??? (Message 19278) Posted 19 Mar 2008 by jay Post: Greetings! Here is a sample WU: http://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/workunit.php?wuid=2444387 I was happy to see that I was not the only one that got the run time of less than one minute... Was this intended? The name of this WU is/was: w2_lhc270_4__51__s__64.28_59.31__18_20__5__45_1_sixvf_boinc23480 Recently, I have seen other WUs with times of 13.3 0.86 0.83 3.48 3.44 seconds. Just looked strange. Thought I would ask.. T H A N K Y O U Jay

55) Questions and Answers : Sixtrack : Pending Credits (Message 18435) Posted 29 Oct 2007 by jay Post: Not sure if this is the same problem, but here is a WU that has all 5 results completed - but all 5 say pending... http://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/workunit.php?wuid=1812253 What looks suspicious: All 5 have less than 2 seconds of CPU and all 5 have a claimed credit of 0. There are other WU with the same characteristics. Hmmm. Time for a beer...... Anybody know a good biergarten? Thanks! Jay
