The web site says that I have about 7 work units on this computer. BOINC Manager says that I have ONE single work unit, Must I wait for these older work units (two to 4 days older than the one it is working on) time out, or is there a way to void them on the server now so that more work units can be downloaded?? |

These are called 'ghost units' sometimes and should just be ignored. Sometimes even pc's try to do too many things at once and confuse themselves. And NO there is no way for you or I, as just users, to delete them off the Server. If your local pc needs more work it should get some more automatically, or you can open the Boinc Manager and then after hilighting MilkyWay click update it may do it manually. |

This seems to happen whenever an app_info.xml file is introduced or removed and there were WU's in the local store. Then those get flushed and need to time out on the server. This is what I experienced thus far when I started crunching with GPU. |
