I just had a WU that took less than 40 seconds to complete. I have noticed this happen a few times now and curiosity has gotten the better of me. Is this normal? I am not running on a GPU but am running on Linux. Do other platforms get this issue. I am assuming this is a glitch and not just a really really small work unit. Any info would be appreciated.

Very noisy WU.

Very noisy WU.

Which means it exceeds the 30 count limit very quickly.

Look at the unit's stderr_txt file and you will see.

So just to make sure I am understanding correctly. This happens if some really loud radio interference gets into the antenna? I guess the thing I am most worried about is that this is not an error that happens exclusively on Linux? Is that so?

check your current tasks/WU's, No current errors. You're doing fine.

On the Science Status page, the Overflow rate for tasks like that is shown below the other Master Science Database stats. Your Task 2364735806 has been validated by another system and credit granted. One fun thing for those of us crunching with CPU is those tasks are the only kind where we outperform CUDA.

The project is trying to implement some changes so data that's too noisy won't be split and sent, perhaps that Overflow rate will be significantly reduced soon.

These errors occur under all OS's. Its a problem with the unit itself, not the computer.
