Just wondering if longer running WU's are in the works or does the future involve manually priming the pumps every few hours to get from no work back up to maximum 20/core... Thanks! :) ID: 6106 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Right -- join the throng who are suggesting this (smile). Then again, the admins have seemingly been offline for a while so perhaps they are working on something for us (hope, hope). Or perhaps they have abandoned us (boo, hiss). Hello Project Admins!

It would only make official apps to runs for even more hours and deadline issue is on the table. So, as the new apps was promissed...

We have tried to make the workunits longer than they were previously. We're going to have to make them longer yet still most likely Dave Przybylo MilkyWay@home Developer Department of Computer Science Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute ID: 6124 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Indeed -- in as much as the newer 'longer' running work units are not longer running -- that optimization might be making it difficult to design a longer running work unit. This is true.
