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.

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