Some sort of new SIMAP application , "hmmer 5.05" has replaced my former SIMAP application "simap 5.10".......
Now, this new SIMAP application now uses WU's that take my dual-core AMD 4200 2 1/2 hrs to process for EACH work unit.....whereas, previously....each WU would take my processor approx 35-40 minutes to run....
Now, this is not necessarily a bad thing......but I am getting FAR less credit for each work unit than I was before ! Before, for each "WU" processed....my computer would "request" 20 or so "credits", and recieve 10-15 "credits" for 35 minutes work, NOW....my computer "requests" 75 "credits", and in a few instances recieved only 7 "credits" for TWO AND A HALF HOURS PROCESSING TIME PER CORE !
Given that my computer BOINC time is now not only monopolized by SIMAP's new application engine for 2 1/2 hrs at a stretch (and not allowing OTHER projects to run ) and the paltry amount of "credit" allocated..... I am seriously considering pulling my network of 6 computers out of the SIMAP project altogether......
I sure hope somebody does something....Accumulating "credit" is half the fun !
