Session 726 is coming to an end.

New wu's in the pipeline? We will see....

[Bender10]

New Wu's are out. They seem to run 12+ hours .....at least the one's I have.

[vaughan]

Do they still have the limit of 2 workunits per core per day?

[Bender10]

Yes, 2 per core per day. But the wu completion window is too short (24 hours I think), and mine are going past the deadline....

I have 3 that have run out of time already. A few of the Wu's are up to 20+ hours on my 2.6 ghz amd's.

[vaughan]

Interesting times there Bruce. I'm getting 14 or 15 seconds per task on my core duo 2.16GHz T2600 laptop. The tasks are 826in0.zip_blahblah.

[Bender10]

I have different wu's I guess...818's

This one is at 20 hours and 70% complete (last one. I stopped accepting wu's). And it is way over the deadline.

[vaughan]

Your are correct. I checked my other boxen and they have 818s running well past their expiry time so I have aborted all of them. Looks like BURP cannot get the task length right either too long or too short.

[Bender10]

I aborted all my Wu's execpt 1. It has been running for 48+ hours (at around 60% now), and I thought I'd see how far it goes.....

[vaughan]

BURP has work again.

Be aware that the 927in0.zip file is ~25MB for this task in the project. Also Blender 4.73 is ~8MB.

Estimate is 11hrs per task on 1.67GHz core duo and the tasks have a deadline of just over 24hrs. This throws BOINC into "running, high priority" mode - darned inconsiderate Project Admin, IMHO. :icon_twisted:

[liuqyn]

to hell with them then, plenty of other projects to run.

[Danish Dynamite]

i dont have the band width to be able to be running this project

[sentient_life]

Finally! For those of us that were not able to get in, BURP has temporarily opened account creation. However, it doesn't seem that they've got their server migration completed yet. Thus, we can't attach any of our computin' devices... :BangHead:

[vaughan]

Open Rendering had some work today.

[Nflight]

Seems BURP now has a beta project.... The other news is there is now an upgrade to beta and new licenses to run the program. I took the route to read the forum posts by the admin, and find myself perplexed instead of satisfied to upgrade to BETA! http://burp.renderfarming.net/

In order to see the forum posts you will need to first Click the [ Upgrade to BETA ] Box, after that click you are suggested to read over and determine if you would want to participate in the BETA format. Then SAVE the selection if you dare to choose.

My Opinion only; I am going to wait and see what becomes of the idea that they will pay you to crunch data .... it is mentioned in the forum posts ~! :sad5:

[Nflight]

Burp Work Units galore!

Get them while there hot! :blob3:

[NeoGen]

I'm already too late... no WUs for me. :-(
