1) Message boards : Number crunching : New WU Length? (Message 4147) Posted 15 Jul 2008 by Groundhog Post: Sorry for all the confusion, I did make a post about the increased time for WUs when I did it, but I realize that "at the same time" wasn't enough time for some of you guys to realize what was going on. Thanks to those that pointed the others in the right direction. Hm. I had expected to find information of that importance on the main page in the "News" section. Isn't that what it is for? And, as already mentioned here, a few days in advance. Greetings, Groundhog
2) Message boards : Number crunching : updated granted credit (Message 2767) Posted 24 Mar 2008 by Groundhog Post: Back from the easter holidays and I just see drastically dropped credits. With the optimized apps, those relatively high credits were honestly earned. When the same work as before ist done in half the time, double credit/timeunit is the only acceptable crediting. I detached at once never to return. I feel offended. Or, as we say here, "verarschen kann ich mich allein". Bye, Groundhog
3) Message boards : Number crunching : 20 workunit limit (Message 2354) Posted 18 Mar 2008 by Groundhog Post: EDIT: when the server is stable enough the deadlines can be decreased again of course, but 12 hours is really short if you participate in more than a few projects. I agree on this, but then it is simple - for those with numerous projects in which they are participating simultaniously Milky Way simply is the wrong project. The same for slower machines. Deadlines should be set to the need of the project's science, not the convienience of users. Science first. Greetings, Groundhog
4) Message boards : Number crunching : More Work !!! Please :) (Message 2313) Posted 17 Mar 2008 by Groundhog Post: No work - no fun. No fun - no users in longterm... And no word from Travis or other who knows, could know or should know, what's going (or not going) on. Greetings, Groundhog
5) Message boards : Number crunching : applications update news (Message 1780) Posted 28 Feb 2008 by Groundhog Post: Hello, Will the new version of BOINC (5.10.30) have any effect on the Milkyway app? That isn't a new version of Boinc, just the latest. A software released 13/11/2007 is not new. Greetings, Groundhog
6) Message boards : Number crunching : Pipeline drained - what about new WUs? (Message 1720) Posted 15 Feb 2008 by Groundhog Post: Hello, just wondering there is no more work ready to send and no notice on the messagebord nor the frontpage. Server status all green. Strange. Somethin' went wrong? Should we switch projects or is there work to be expected in the very near future? Greetings, Groundhog
