1) Message boards : Number crunching : WU's won't finish in time (Message 30398) Posted 9 Sep 2009 by Richard Cox Post: Thanks Brian; by the way, what does it mean: "(won't finish in time) BOINC runs 94.4% of time, computation enabled 99.5% of that". Does BOINC believe the application will take longer to execute than needed? Boinc thinks you would have too much work to complete in the needed time. So I need a newer version of BOINC to make a better "estimate-to-complete"?

My RAC fell down during those few days under 1000, in 3 weeks it will be close to 0. What about new people without luck of getting any work? In fact, I haven't received any work from sometime and the MW server said the following: 9/7/2009 7:55:53 PM Milkyway@home Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. 9/7/2009 7:55:53 PM Milkyway@home Requesting new tasks 9/7/2009 7:55:58 PM Milkyway@home Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks 9/7/2009 7:55:58 PM Milkyway@home Message from server: No work sent 9/7/2009 7:55:58 PM Milkyway@home Message from server: (won't finish in time) BOINC runs 94.4% of time, computation enabled 99.5% of that Maybe I am running too many projects. I've received about 500 points in the past month from MW while I have received ten times that from ClimatePrediction over the same time period. I'd like to do more for MW but the server won't send any work. Richard Cox
