It looks like they received short WU's with a few long ones sprinkled in. I don't think that its an anomaly. Just that the server is sending out short WU's recently No. I received 5 Astropulse tasks on a slow, single-core P4 that should never, ever, be allocated more than one AP task at a time - they take 2 days to run, and I have a 1 day, 50% resource share cache. I am referring to the 2 individuals that have questions. I understand you got way to much work. from looking at the work they've done and what they appear to have they shouldnt have any problems In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face.

It looks like you have 20 short WU's and 1 AP. you are running a q6600 that should easily finish all 20 WU's in less than 1 day. Not all MB WU's take the same time to crunch but you can tell when you have a short one by its return date. A 1 week return date indicates a short MB WU. A Longer WU would have a 3-4 week return date. In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope ID: 856129 ·

I know cc_config debugging flags can make it show back up, but then there's 5 or 6 extra lines of connection info in the log, too. [/off topic] [on topic] Wow, I love all of those APs you got for a whole 170 seconds worth of work. That's pretty impressive.

After installing 6.6.2,.it restarted and kept downloading like it was stuck in a loop. It only stopped when I shut Boinc down and restarted it. I now have about 600wu waiting including about 60 AP's. All this on a 4 day cache. It kept doing a cuda request but not getting any cuda apps. I was set to not get any cuda either ID: 856605 ·

ChrisLX200 Send message Joined: 30 Dec 08 Posts: 4 Credit: 109,431 RAC: 0	Message 856675 - Posted: 23 Jan 2009, 2:46:14 UTC I just got buried in AP WUs after installing 6.6.2 I counted the first 60, but was trying to abort downloads at the same time with more coming in... I kept 14 APs (~7 days work) and suspended some of those waiting for processing time, that prevented further downloads. I got 100s of CUDA WUs, but that's not an issue I think. What is odd is that 2 MB units are being processed at once (1 fast, 1 slow). I have 6 cores allocated to processing (75% of total), 5 are busy with APs, 1 is processing WB on CPU using 6.03, CUDA is processing using 6.08. ID: 856675 ·

We let the machines band together and now they're smarter than us. Our only option is to swear fealty to our new machine overlords and hope we are spared from the coming apocalypse. On a side note, I almost gave up on CUDA on my first try. I think it might have been growing pains, but it sure as heck slowed my system WAY down. Now, I think I can live with it, but I wasn't so sure before. - Jim ID: 856774 ·
