Are you sure you're not confusing this with Cosmology? I have that issue at Cosmology, but not here... ID: 7753 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

No, their MWay Wu's, at least thats what they say they are in the Transfer Window of the BOINC Manager, they never finish Downoading though even if I Manually try to get them to Download. I get 4-5 a day on various Box's ... ID: 7754 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I remember one of the previous versions had a bug in this and leaded to this behaviour, but I forgot which version. Try to update to another newer one then. Member of BOINC@Heidelberg and ATA!

Last modified: 15 Dec 2008, 11:01:34 UTC v6.4.5 ... About as new as they get ... ;) Okay... Seems you can put another bug of it to this thread here. ;-) (I see you already posted another thing there) Maybe a downgrade helps then. As far as I can say, I'm still using 6.3.21 and never had any problems with it, no matter if it's GPU- or MilkyWay- or other work... Member of BOINC@Heidelberg and ATA!

NNT working okay as well as suspension. Only receive when get new WU's and then it tops up to 32 and back into HP. Anybody else seeing this problem.

I've seem to always have high priority on this and Rosetta. I think it may have started for me when I went to 5.10.45. but Mw seems to add to it and always runs hp, whereas rosetta will sometimes. It may be due to the short return. Many projects are 7-14 days or longer. Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected? If it makes sense, DON'T do it.

It may be due to the short return. Many projects are 7-14 days or longer. The tight and/or short deadline is the primary cause. If I have any other work on my system, BOINC will run MW tasks only until all of them have been cleared. I'm using 5.8.16. Two other things adding to it for me is that I have been shutting down my computer at night, and I will turn BOINC off if I'm playing any "3D" games, thus my fraction of time that BOINC is running has been getting lowered, so there is less time to get the work completed by deadline. Average turnaround time 0.24 days % of time BOINC client is running 74.6733 % While BOINC running, % of time work is allowed 99.9772 % Average CPU efficiency 0.93436 Task duration correction factor 0.139839 ID: 7768 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
