I just completed successfully a task which is uploading now, but got no more work. So what was added to this new version ?

I see we have a new version. I just completed successfully a task which is uploading now, but got no more work. So what was added to this new version ? Version .22 had just minimal changes. The new application we are about to distribute instead is able to chain works in a workflow, so when one result is returned another one is created restarting the job on another computer. This allows us to run very long workunits as a sequence of 20 hours ones. GDF ID: 139 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

In practice a result can spawn as many workunits as needed, even more than one at a time. ID: 142 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I was curious about the size of the problem :) I don\'t understand if the problem would become 100 20-hour chunks, or 100,000 20-hour chunks ... millions? ID: 143 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Most likely just less than 10, but this allows us to use more complex thermodynamic protocols to compute the quantities we are looking at. ID: 145 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
