1) Message boards : Number crunching : Running test apps (Message 6915) Posted 28 Nov 2008 by Sysadmin_Ed Post: I just aborted all of the remaining WUs also. I think the production version needs a lot of tweaking. First of all, it downloaded 20 WUs with a runtime showing about 11 minutes. When they started running, the run time turned out to be 9 hours! The deadline was 11/30. There's no way my dual-core can finish all of these before the deadline, and my other project on this computer had deadlines, too. Another thing - although my CPU is at 100%, it is running a full 10 degrees cooler with these WUs as compared to other projects. While this is not very scientific, it does indicate an app that's not doing very much work - very wasteful. I've read the threads about the inefficient code of the new WUs and I'm seeing it. Sorry to have to do this.
