Maybe a newbie question, but is it normal to have a work unit downloaded, whose time for completion is to be 52 hours 46 minutes. all my other work units are in the area of 1 hour 30 minutes or so, but this latest downloaded W/U shows over 52 hours. just asking is all....LOL. Regards, Tom. |

I too noticed a big increase in estimated completion times shown by BOINC. It seems that the reason is an increased <rsc_fpops_est> value in the init_data.xml file for the new WUs. <rsc_fpops_est>315010000000000.000000</rsc_fpops_est> That results in 315010 GFLOPS. AFAIK the old value was something like 10000(?) GFLOPS. |

Last modified: 29 Sep 2013, 11:38:07 UTC I'm not so concerned about time of completion, since there are no WU's available as of 01:45 PST... Where's the BEEF? BEEF???no Beef, as a newbie just wanted to understand the estimated time difference between W/U`s, now i understand. As far as no new W/U`s, i got 6 new W/U`s this morning. best regards, Tom. |

Where's the BEEF? i don't think Viking69 is suggesting you have beef with anyone regarding the new estimated run times...i think he meant "where's the new work" when he said "where's the beef," b/c the server seems very low on new tasks ready to send right now... i imagine that the massive increase in estimated run times is a result of having updated most of the applications a few days ago...though i can't confirm this b/c i currently have a queue full of Einstein@Home work, and probably won't get any new A@H tasks for a while. ![]() |

Thanks Sunny 129, sorry to Viking69, no offence meant, sometimes the meaning of text does not translate well so i was unsure of what he meant to say. Looks like its correct at the moment about lack of W/U`s, i`m on my last one with no new downloads at the moment. best regards . Tom. |

Tom, no offense taken. I guess my use of a phrase from a 1970's era commercial for a national hamburger chain might be misinterpreted as you having a "beef" (problem, issue, disagreement) with the system admins here at A@H. I was using it to ask "where is the work?", since the server shows Tasks ready to send 1 . This project has been feeding me lots of work for the last 2 months as I work my way to 1 million credits. |

Hi all! It's because we have no optimized app for Mac. |

Probably the test can be done by releasing 'Test application' as on other projects: http://wuprop.boinc-af.org/apps.php ... and in 'Your account' - 'Preferences for this project': Run test applications? no/yes This helps us develop applications, but may cause jobs to fail on your computer ![]() ![]() |
