37 hours wasted...

All 4 of my machines failed these after between 24 and 25 hours each, so about 99 hours wasted. Since no TONI WUs seem to be available, had to switch projects for a while :-(

The task I referred to in my previous message finished okay.

Now is working :-) 3xNoelia WU, 135.000 credits each :-)

Why do you allow 7 errors? That seems wasteful.

absolutely clueless , what happend ? 38.000 seconds down the drain.

Thats a different error.

ERROR: file deven.cpp line 1106: # Energies have become nan

Means the simulation went into a state that was not physically possible and was aborted.

Now is working :-) 3xNoelia WU, 135.000 credits each :-)

Just had "Error while computing" 16 hours in...

I haven't had a problem with these new WU, but good lord these WU a HUGE. It take my 660M about 30 hours to finish one (and it is heavily overclocked).

Careful with the OC's; these tasks might consume slightly more power.

Now that we have these units uploading successfully, I noticed that the server status has 22,000 + work units listed as unsent. I have never seen that number that high, and since in the last few days, I have been getting nothing but these Noelia units, putting 2 and 2 together, I ask that question again, what's the big thing that we are crunching here?

Maybe they're just keeping stocked up for Xmas!

I think that too. Scientist want to have xmas too ;)

I hope more they activade soon cuda42 only with the smaller upload files. One of my cards need only 13 hours to compute, but the 3g connection has uploadspeedproblems and i need over 14 hours to upload. So it blocks new wus to download and i miss the 24h bonus too :( so the card witch needs over 18 hours get the full bonus due high speed internet, what a Shame ^^

The Cuda31 versions of these tasks are very slow 24h+ on slightly factory overclocked 560ti all of the 4.2 tasks are working much better at most they take 16 hours(Always at-least 25% faster sometimes upto 40% faster). Unfortunately the server is passing out about 25% Cuda31 tasks to 42 capable machines and I always catch them to late to make aborting worthwile.

Careful with the OC's; these tasks might consume slightly more power.

That's too bad that the credit/time ratio of these workuntis doesn't reflect this.

The 30+ hours per WU is ruining my RAC :P

I'm crunching longer and getting less credit haha, oh well. At least these WUs don't lag my graphics.

Maybe they would consider extending the 24hr bonus time to 36hrs or even 48hrs for these longer WUs. A lot of people seem to be struggling to finish them in 24hrs.

Sounds like a reasonable request given that the tasks are so long (~17h on a GTX470) and the Work Units are only two steps deep. However, all 20,000WU's should be completed by early January, so it's a short experiment, and it would be a lot of work to redo the credit system for a single batch of tasks - something the researchers would not want to be doing for every new batch!
Anyway, this 2task-deep research model is a test, and might not be adopted.

See Gianni's recent New Year experiment post.

What do they mean by "2-step deep" ?
