Yeah, something like 5.000+ WUs a day would be enough for my machines. |

hi everyone, there should be work available... unless theres something really wrong with the server. sorry for not being on but i've been sick in bed for the last couple days with some pneumonia. again, 20 wus at a time is already too many -- we can't increase that. your work will just be useless. |

let me know if you're getting work right now. for some reason all the folders in our results directory on the server lost read privileges so even though everything was running and the server should have been generating more work -- it looks like things got a bit locked up. |

Hi Travis, sorry to hear you were sick! (Pneumonia... *ouch*) Hope you're feeling better by now? ;-) PS. I don't get WUs right now, server status says there are none. *grin* Lovely greetings, Cori |

Hi Travis, sorry to hear you were sick! (Pneumonia... *ouch*) Hope you're feeling better by now? ;-) they should slowly be starting to trickle out by now. |

Hey buddy ! hi everyone, there should be work available... unless theres something really wrong with the server. sorry for not being on but i've been sick in bed for the last couple days with some pneumonia. Hope you're feeling better now!
Hmmm... Is this 20 wus = to many just related to the suituation as it is now or does that mean it's generaly to much no matter if the current issues with thr project will be solved ? P.S. Hope you don't mind the "missing pic" that i posted here ;) Join Support science! Joinc Team BOINC United now! |

First WUs are arrivig on my comps@home! YAY! :-) Although my lappy is still ignored by now. *grin* PS. I guess all the boxes attached to Milkyway are so busy fetching work that the WUs are gone before the server status can show them as results to send. *biiiig grin* Lovely greetings, Cori |

Hey buddy ! the pic is fine :P the reason we can't have more than 20 WUs at a time (and even this is too many) has been discussed on here many times. it's even in the known issues section. what we're doing is dynamically updating a genetic search based on the results you guys return. if we feed out more than 20 workunits (even this is too many) by the time you finish crunching them, the population has moved so far away from where those points were generated that the work you've done on them is basically useless. ideally i'd really like to have the number somewhere around 5-10. when we update the server code, you should be able to download new workunits as soon as you finish with your previous ones. if you're just complaining about wanting more WUs out there in the case when the server crashes... i don't think theres anything we can do about that as the workunits need to be dynamically generated as new ones come in. that being said, we definitely are trying to increase the time per workunit. the model will be updated, and we'll be doing it across multiple streams of stars - you just need to be patient with us here. this is science in progress and Nate is working on how exactly to do that. also, i'm working on incorporating doing a line search into a workunit (which should increase the computation time by a factor of 10-50) or more) -- but that's maybe a week or two away because that'll take a bit of bug fixing. i'm hoping to have that in the next version of the application. |

sorry for not being on but i've been sick in bed for the last couple days with some pneumonia. Take it easy now; I’m sure we’ll all understand if you can’t ‘burn the candle at both ends’ for a while. Pneumonia can be a tenacious bugger … |
