Yes, and my 3850 (AGP card) which takes ~540 seconds per wu in my old P4 with HT on, which means it gets 12 wu's so its cache is ~105 minutes is out of work as well. Which means there are some reeeeaaaaallllyyyy slow systems out there.

Or hosts that have figured out that MW is a secondary project for reliability reasons -- my primary GPU projects are Collatz and Dnetc -- both of which run more regularly than MW as well as supporting single precision GPU's.

I realize there is a fair amount of load on this project with relatively limited resources -- and also suspect that folks who run NW as their only GPU project are likely to be a tad unhappy....

I have to leave MW as my primary ATI GPU project since the server does not support the "0" share setting. Collats is my backup.

When Milkyway stops delivering new work my Collatz back up takes over. When Milkyway is working again I NNT Collatz and let the cache run down.

I have just come to the PCs and see Milkyway was not giving out work and I have only just lifter the NNT on Collatz. Milkyway returned it's last crunched unit at 01.05am this morning.


Aaaarrgggh - all that wasted time.

Annoying isn't it?
Was hoping to hit 50 mil mark this week before starting my shutdown.

Still in with a good chance this week with that RAC. But their servers need to be working for at least tomorrow, assuning your shutdown is Saturday?

We'll have some new runs up soon, should clear out the gutters a bit...

Tired of that! I just attached to Collatz and set the priority for this project to 10%... It's a shame that all the time the server get out of work. Regards!

We just started some new runs, so they might still be filtering into the system. I'll be keeping an eye on things throughout the day.

I noticed something: every time a backlog forms with the queue for results waiting for validation, the server runs out of work. Is there something wrong with the validator?

Yup -- it is been that way for many many months -- fails semi-regularly for reasons as yet over these many months, unresolved (indeterminate??).

It is one of the primary reasons that MW has become a part time project.

Results from the validator are used to determine what to set the new WUs up as; I assume that means if validation stops so does WU creation.
