Not getting new WU

In my profile I can get WU from any project but with the limited resources on my desktop I can get only GC WU. In the last days I don't get any new WU. Are the latest GC WU targeted for high resources desktops?.

Re: Not getting new WU

Hello mcaspi,
Genome Comparison is through. Occasionally a work unit will be sent out again if it is not returned in time. I suggest that you look over http://distributedcomputing.info/projects.html to find a project that will fit on your computer. Right now our smallest project is FightAIDS@Home. Although the requirements at http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/help/viewTopic.do?shortName=minimumreq say that 250 MB is needed, Retsof says that BOINC can run FAAH on 128 MB if he uses a large virtual memory.

Re: Not getting new WU

ok. It looks like my UD agent is going on vacation for a while. Let's see, the Bahamas? Florida? Hawai? hard to choose. Thanks.

Re: Not getting new WU

I posted some other BOINC links in the Genome Comparison thread. Distributedcomputing.info doesn't always have them all, but neither do the others. https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=14943 I have found some other new project news on some of the BOINC stat sites. Google for "BOINC projects" for several.

Some projects are more suited for small computers than others, and some don't always have work available. I was checking yesterday, and chess960@home had some available. I finished a 2.5 minute workunit on the fast computer, so it should be acceptable for most systems.

Connection time in Hawaii and the Bahamas would likely be expensive.
