My Windows machine also did something similar to this on AVX tasks, but I can't find any data on whether this is a CPU issue or a WU problem....

P.S. You can manually remove the AVX application from the project folder.

The real problem are the "challenges" where teams compete to amass the greatest "score" over the fixed period of such a challenge....

"Bunkering" is a technique to download a vast store of WU's to process within a deadline.

Obviously, a large number of these WU's may not be processed in time.

Is it wrong ? No the work has value to the project, but the wasted server resources may be.

It is not fair to expect all users to have cutting edge machines running 24/7. Obsessive enthusiasts may devoted large amounts of time and money, but we don't have a right to expect all users to do so.

The project should encompass all work done as valuable. If a child in a developing country is inspired by an ancient machine processing a single WU then it may change it's life.

All IMHO,

Greetings from the UK. !

Thanks for the info, my new system is an i7-4770k and doesn't report AVX in the BOINC log.

Just off to add the app_info.

Thanks !
