1) Message boards : Number crunching : linux-64 missing all tasks but vista-64 bloated (Message 6352) Posted 21 Nov 2008 by M Schmitt Post: ziegenmelker I see you are one of the lucky ones, 4 of your systems have work now. I am doing good the last few days when two have work, looks like I will not have some on all four at the same time for a long time. I'm 6 years younger than you, so I still have to work. Maybe therefore I get more WUs. ;-) But hitting the update button, when boinc manager whants to wait 2h or more till next contact, sometimes helps too. It sure would be good if these took a little more time to crunch each (only it doing more work also). Than more people would have work. I can't complaine as I see a lot of people getting less work than I have gotten lately. I totally agree. cu, Michael
2) Message boards : Number crunching : linux-64 missing all tasks but vista-64 bloated (Message 6349) Posted 21 Nov 2008 by M Schmitt Post: Well let me say it this way: Some of us run an optimized application that only takes around 3 min. on actual hardware. The result is, that these fast apps are eating up all fresh WUs very fast and it's hard to get new ones. ;-) Besides that, credits are limited to 108 cr per h of crunching time, which a lot of boxes, even older ones, can reach if they use the fast app. Now it's your job/fun to find out where to download the app. Might not be worth it, because we are supposed to get a new app very soon(since a very longe time), which will be incompatible to the old one. ;-)) cu, Michael
