1) Message boards : Number crunching : I think we should restrict work units (Message 14338) Posted 17 Jul 2006 by bowlingguy300 Post: looking at the preferences for LHC, I noticed that the cache setting isnt in the LHC@home preferences but rather in the general prefrences and apply to all attached boinc projects in the home/school/work catagory. so using such a high cache isnt the idea of LHC but rather a general setting for the boinc program. you just access that setting from any project (einstien, lhc, seti). so saying that they would change it isnt all fair, that settuing is for the program itself not LHC. this I copied from that page. "These apply to all BOINC projects in which you participate. On computers attached to multiple projects, the most recently modified preferences will be used. " so turning up a cache up to 10 days turns up all projects to 10 days. on the projects that almost always have W.U. and dont rely on them to be processed before making new ones, caching doesent hurt anything/anyone. but this project is diffrent, it only releases so many and waits for them to be crunched before more W.U. are released. to me over caching doesent make sense on this project. ive had 3 units in 5 weeks (so nice to finally help LHC :)))... why would you not want to be utilizing all available resources (whole community of willing crunchers, all crunching data unstead of a small few that take alot more time sitting in thier cache not being crunched.). its takin you guys 3 days to do this recent batch of small W.U. released. yep seems your alot faster then all that dont have units, that could be helping YOU GUYS do them. I dont think I deserve any more units then anyone else, be nice to get some once in awhile been 3 weeks now since last unit and that was only 1 that time I got.... and turning up my settings wont help anything... no units now and im on defult setting, what will I download more of by turning it up? air?

I thought boinc only does one preference (home/work/school) at a time? and you can go up to how many days in cache?
3) Message boards : Number crunching : I think we should restrict work units (Message 14040) Posted 19 Jun 2006 by bowlingguy300 Post: also in a post earlier how am i hiding my computer... I have just normal firewalls on, turned nothing off or changed any settings so im not sure what you mean there. so just askin. and when you write a post it tells you your total credits. so what does hiding anything do? everyone can see how many credits I have. just in case you cant read ill copy and paste it for ya. :o) only kidding lol Joined: Sep 1, 2004 Posts: 11 ID: 87 Credit: 3,826 RAC: 5

I think you have three user ID's. hows that... what you talkin about 3 ids always had only this one. been with seti at home from thier start. so this be the only non-WU hoarding name I have. looking at your credits I see your one of the hoarders...lol ive been a member for almost a year more then you and you have 20,000 more credits then me lol yep you dont have your cache up at all.
5) Message boards : Number crunching : Faster than a speeding hadron..... (Message 14037) Posted 19 Jun 2006 by bowlingguy300 Post: Server Status Up, out of work 64,993 workunits in progress 42 concurrent connections ¤¤¤¤¤¤ and your surprised? some jerks dont care what the PROJECT is trying to do. they only care about hogging all the WU's and slowing down the project. wish those kinna people would just stick to videogames lol anything to see your names as top users I see. lmfao it was nice to have work for that day and a half lmfao
6) Message boards : Number crunching : I think we should restrict work units (Message 14007) Posted 16 Jun 2006 by bowlingguy300 Post: wow what a jerk! what part of you can only process one workunit at a time. so if there is even 1 puter sitting idle while you have all these WU's waiting to be crunched, they would of had it done already by the time you even got to it. you (1 puter) are not faster then the whole community dude. lets say you grab 20 units when they are available and there are 20 people sitting dry at the moment, if it takes you a week to do them by yourself, wouldent it make sense to you that it would take that same 20 units the same time it took you to do 1 unit if they were done by 20 people instead? now times that by all the people changing thier chaches lol selfish ones. funny the defult setting is .1 day not even a day lol but .1 and your turning it up to 10 days lol
7) Message boards : Number crunching : ??what does average turnaround time mean?? (Message 13993) Posted 15 Jun 2006 by bowlingguy300 Post: maybe that means you take less then a day to complete/report your workunit.
8) Message boards : Number crunching : I think we should restrict work units (Message 13978) Posted 14 Jun 2006 by bowlingguy300 Post: wow this is taking forever for you guys to finsh your over cached WU's... what a joke.
9) Message boards : Number crunching : I think we should restrict work units (Message 13973) Posted 13 Jun 2006 by bowlingguy300 Post: I got that total from a page that listed every boinc user total... so it may or maynot be authentic as I dont know who made it.
10) Message boards : Number crunching : I think we should restrict work units (Message 13968) Posted 13 Jun 2006 by bowlingguy300 Post: 69,624 total LHC@home users... isnt the work unit total like half that anyways? if so seems more users then even work units generated... but I cant remember the starting number of workunits? ok got this off the LHC@home alpha site... so they have at least this many units... too bad acount creation is closed lol Server Status Up, 143681 workunits to crunch 38 concurrent connections http://lhcathome-alpha.cern.ch/
11) Message boards : Number crunching : I think we should restrict work units (Message 13967) Posted 13 Jun 2006 by bowlingguy300 Post: dont need to go any farther then to look at the top crunchers to see who is hoarding all the work units. kinna simple really :) no witch hunt neccessary :) well at least there was a top users selection on seti at home so I may be wrong havent looked on here yet. and its only a small amount of people that are changing thier caches like the 15-20 units were waiting on right now. most people just install and use, and never even come into forums or to go to change prefrences.
12) Message boards : Number crunching : I think we should restrict work units (Message 13961) Posted 12 Jun 2006 by bowlingguy300 Post: "Is it possible that those WUs have really reached Quorum, and that the fact that there are no WUs available is that there is some other asynchronous work (perhaps being done within CERN - perhaps even by humans) that needs to complete before more work can be sent out? We really don't know why there is no work, or do we?" good point, it may not always be greedy ones taking all the units, there are rare times that like he said above... might be something going on we dont see.
13) Message boards : Number crunching : I think we should restrict work units (Message 13960) Posted 12 Jun 2006 by bowlingguy300 Post: "I don't think anyone considers raising the cache size to be unfair, however it is counterproductive for this project" I DO! I thinks its totally unfair... just cuz the option is there, doesent make it right for all to change it... it is there for a group of puters on ones network/team, not really meant for the single puter user, cuz you shouldent need it if everyone wasent getting 3-5 days of cache at a time.. the work would be returned faster if more puters were able to process the units, the problem is were WAITING FOR THE GREEDY ONES TO FINISH THE UNITS THEY ALREADY HAVE, cuz they got like what 10- 15 units. having 10 units sitting waiting to be processed while others are dry is sooo stupid. ive had 1 or 2 units of crunching in like two weeks... its always outta work cuz of you greedy ones. so how is letting a majority of your community run without units for like 6 outta 7 days a week, be productive? and also why accept anymore user to join? if you dont have the work for the ones already here.
14) Message boards : Number crunching : I think we should restrict work units (Message 13939) Posted 11 Jun 2006 by bowlingguy300 Post: spreading the project around to EVERYONE, would speed up the process so much I dont understand why they would allow this. a small amount of people take all the work units and we (the ones that dont have thier machines turned up to recieve more then they should), have to wait a week for them to finish all that they have. how can they say that they are faster then having all of us doing the work? you can only process one workunit at a time per machine, and so many are sitting...waiting... without! so come on guys, please turn your stuff back to default and let US ALL DO THIS PROJECT! Stop the Greed! and Share!
