Where i can find them?

No, I guess with stock project applications the time could be OK.

You could install optimized project applications, CPU calculation time will be around the half.

Also then you could let calculate work units on your AMD/ATI HD5xxx.

The time to complete is how long the task take to run once it starts. This is determined by the processing power of your computer (not a lot you can do about that)

The cache is the amount of work you have waiting to run - you can control the size of your cache.

There is a relationship between the two - the time to complete is used to calculate how many tasks are in your cache. For example: If your computer takes 6 hours to complete an "average" task, and you have a cache size of 4 days then there will be about 16 tasks sitting in your cache waiting to run, if you double to size of your cache to eight days then the number of tasks in your cache will increase to about 32.


(Fun starts with cache sizes when you get tasks that are expected to take vastly different times to complete, the sums get harder....)

And why all WUS have 5h to complete?


The short answer is they don't. maybe all the ones you have now do, but the next batch, with different Angle Ranges, could be different. It seems you only have work for your CPU; CPU's are much slower than GPU's.

But having 5h to complete due the configuration 10 +10 too?


Work unit completion time has nothing to do with cache settings, and vice versa.

I think using 10 +10 will give you a very lumpy ride. It will give you a 10 day stock, but only check that you need new work every 10 days. Far better to go for a something like 5 day cache and check every 0.1 days (or less) that way you will "always" have a nearly full cache.

So if you put 10+ 10 it will give 10 days plus another 10 ?

Setting to 2+.01 gives me roughly 3-4 days of work for some reason, always has since 7.xxx

(I'm currently running my server out of tasks and it's been 3.5 days so far and still crunching away on all cores... ;-))

Nope.

The work units will take the same amount of time, just the system will queue more of them up.

All that setting does is download extra work units, to keep you going if you can't talk to the server for a few days.

And if i have 1 days cache, and an additional 0.01 days the WUS will decrease the completion time? I thought that rising the days cache i would have more WUS to crunch.

Judging from your completion times for work you've done, I'd say the estimates for work on board are pretty close.

Using BOINC 7.xx, though, you probably should adjust your cache settings to something lower, like, maintain 5 days cache, and an additional .01 days. That way, BOINC will try to give you 5 days worth of work, but check to see if you need more every .01 days.

HI guys, my boinc its set to Minimum work buffer: 10 days, Max additional work buffer: 10 days, Use at most: 1 GB of disk space. All of the WUS have 5h to execute. It is normal ?
