    Attention , please read

    Hi my friends

    We had been thinking to run ExtremeLab and I had said no more changes but now I get worry because I not got contact with the server and because we only get 10 new WU´s every 40 minutes. I need at least 240 WU´s and there is a limit of 200 per day. Others with faster computers need the double. I’ve tried to resume all WU´s but not get any new, restart Boinc, reconnect to the project and so on without positive results. I must say I have changed my mind. I can only se problems for us all.

    Should we take another project instead? I appreciate for this message but we must do anything. We can’t sit and wait of a solution as never will come before Sunday.
    It is sad we get problems as we not could foresee or set right (difficult word but I hope you understand what I will tell you)

    Beware for this message: But now I will download new work, but every time I got the message that my last RPC was too recent. Is that a new phenomena?

    Please tell us what you think. Will we change to another project?

    I will thank you all for your patience. It is the first time ever we got problems with different project when we have a Competition.

    NeoGen were is you your ace?

    Can I suggest replacing XtremLab with SIMAP? :D
    I have a borged pc running it and wanna see it crunch some numbers. :D It's actually a little 1300Mhz P4 that is my Dad's@work.

    I am so proud of myself. I made a stealth installation :D. He has no idea it's running as a service on his puter. He hasn't told me of any slow downs, he has had after i was there preforming inventory. :D Just the other day I asked him, "Do you BOINC?." "No," he replied. I laughed inside :D. My next target is my Uncle's 2.6Ghz P4. :D It use't to be mine and it crunched with a rac of 300+ for the Master Strategy Group.

    I think that whole doubling every X amount of years is true. I went from a P2 to a P3 700 to P4 1300 to a P4 2600 to an X2 2570.

    You is a good "lurker". Of source your father is unwitting about what you have done with his computer. Another generation with other words

    Yes, we may see and hear what other think and say.

    A solution is to crunch STAKI as we planned but start it earlier. But are there any limit for WU´s per day?

    What about running 2 projects instead of just Xtremlab on it's own?

    As you all know ve should run Einstein but there was a limit of 32 per day. Now I have checked Mitros computer and he have over 300 WU´s. He said if we choose 10 days delay to the server we can get a lot o works.

    Perhaps we should try it. Running 2 project at the same time should give Neogen double work when collecting our points.

    I´m for Einstein. It must be a lot better than ExtremLab.

    This week has gotten so problematic that I'm considering invalidating this week's race. :? Each project I pick gets to have a problem I didn't know about.

    I can't ask you guys to change project again this late, so how about taking a week of break to scan if there's any more problems with any other projects?

    NeoGen

    I have right now 21 works from XtremLab. If we leave our network open we got 10 new work every 40 minutes. If for example my computer use 9 minutes for each work it will be 90 minutes.

    I see now there is no prolems for us as have one core. I think we can run ExtremLab yet. When I wrote my "Attentition" message I didnn´t know that because I not get any contact with the server. Suddenly I got 10 WU´s and 10 more lather. There is no risk our computers will run idle.

    The only question is what they with dual cores say. 1.5 hour is this enough for them or will their computers run idle after 10 wu´s.

    I´m thinking about the last years race. There was no one as had a dual core why all was so much eisier.

    Right now I´m crunching that project and it seems fine.

    I started it too, but I may have to invalidade it as a race... every machine no matter how fast or slow seems to take those same 9 minutes.... It's a bit unfair.

    I'll await for the answers of the rest of the Team to see what they think...

    I don't think it's fair either. I'm often using CPU intensive programs, taking away some time, leaving the WU completed @ 1min. Some only take 5secs because all the CPU time was taken away. Perhaps we should put in PrimeGrid?
