Change in RICE work unit runtime

Greetings,

We are changing the length each work units runs on your machine. The work units in the past have been estimated to run about 10 hours per work unit. This is an average over all the member machines. We are now targeting 6 hours per work unit with the new batches.

The new batches that are targeting 6 hours each start with these batches:
batch00253 - batch00300
batch00322 - batch00350

Batches before batch00253 are still on the 10 hour run time. Also batch00301 - batch00321 are targeting 10 hour run times in length.

Sekerob has a nice graph in the FAQs that show the runtime averages for each project. http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=18277 The graph I refer to is the labeled "WCG Project Task Average Run Time"

Thank you again for your continued participation in World Community Grid!

Re: Change in RICE work unit runtime

Members should start seeing the 6 hour work units as the first few batches have started sending out.
