After about 4 days your efforts become worthless to the project and might even slow it down. After 5days you don't even get any credit. Personally I would prefer this credit cut-off was 4days, to better reflect the reality of the situation.

My 7-year old desktop finally hit the dust, and now I have a replacement with a CUDA-card! So without reading the small print I attached to gpugrid. 4½ days later my WU completed - and now I learn that I'm probably wasting the projects time.
So maybe it's good idea to shorten the deadline to prevent GT218-hopefuls like me getting in the way :-)

Your NVidia ION only has 16 cuda cores, it is well short of the recommended minimum of 96 cuda cores.
Although your ION can finish some tasks within 5days, the task was reissued after 2days to a GTX260 and returned 2days before your task, making your efforts redundant.

As you can see the GTX260 is 10times as fast as an ION.

Consider using your Ion on Einstein, and your CPU cores on WCG's HCMD2 or HCC projects.
I see you run FreeHal. You could also run WorkUnitProp.

Good luck,

For this, we will grant 40% BONUS in credits with the *long* WUs. We'll do it through a command we have never used that will be tested over the weekend. If successful, we will use it for ALL NEW *long* SUBMISSIONS starting NEXT WEEK.

Looks like those never used before commands are still not working.
I've just completed another *_long_* monster wu, normal 50% bonus been applied on it.

Hi Retvari Zoltan,
This WU you are linking is actually a from a batch that is two weeks old, about to finish: 9 of 10 steps completed. By new ones submitted this week we meant brand new long batch submissions.
Which I am about to do in the next couple of days.

Thanks,
ignasi

Ok. I can't wait to meet those :)

First batch of 500 is out.
*IBUCH_AcPYEEIP_long*

With a 40% extra bonus.

Negative.
We encourage you to discontinue any IBUCH_AcPYEEIP_long.
They will compute well but the experiment is not correct.

My fault. I appologise.

We have cancelled all UNSENT WUs for the wrong batch.
We won't force cancel any running WU (only 230 running now), they should complete fine as normally. However, we discourage their continuation.

Correct ones will be issued in few hours with a new bonus for all will be now of 50%.

They will compute well but the experiment it is not correct. It is wasted computing. And we all hate that.

I didn't mean to rush you in any way.
I've aborted 2 of those.
