I have some pretty big machines dedicated to WCG including an I7 975, 965, and 920 all with 6GB of memory and I have a 20MB download speed. One is running Vista and 2 are running Ubuntu.
----------------------------------------I would have no problem processing some of the bigger WUs. Yet I have not got a single DDDT2 WU yet. I am running multiple projects, and I do have a queue of 5 becasue I travel during the week and want to make sure I have enough WUs queued up in case I have network problems while I am out of town. What do I need to do, to start getting DDDT2 WUs to process?    |

Goes for most as only 2,000 were circulated which were snapped up in hours. The results have been coming back very slow. Almost 10x24 hours later only 1,128 results were validated.
----------------------------------------What to do to get them: Select DDDT2 as your only project and at bottom select the "if there is no work". That will always look for this project first and if there's none fetch random alternate WCG work.

Looks like they're starting to time out, I got a #3 work unit on one of my machines this morning.
----------------------------------------Edit: At least for this unit, none of us are waiting on the wingman. One detached, the other aborted after 18 hours. Looks like the general public is finally starting to crunch the ones that hit long queues.

I am feeling your pain, DDDT was one of my keystone project, and racked up over 3 times the sapphire badge in it (Ready for future diamond or gold pressed latinum badges), but mainly it was a project I had a personal interest in.
----------------------------------------To date I have no work units. :( If we are going to Discover Dengue Drugs TOGETHER, you need to send out the units or else we will call it DDDA (Alone). :) Actually not quite that impatient, I know soon we will all be getting them. When are we going to start seeing 64 bit apps, they can double work done on systems?  |

We were waiting on that new one, just announced ... Copernicum, officially the heaviest known (man made) element, to go with the 277 CPU years contribution. ;P

yes im with the rest of us waiting i managed to grab 2 of the 2000X2 work units sent out now we wait for the second batch or the resend work units myself i hope few need to be resent but i am a realist with 1206 returned so far i am guessing there are less than 800 that will need to be resent and probably actually close to that. i think the problem we are haveing is the computers that are left alone and no one watches that managed to grab one of these units and for whatever reason may not send them back.. hope they all make it back before deadline
----------------------------------------or at least if someone realizes they have one that they let it complete or abort it so it can at least be grabbed by someone else  |

I feel the pain as well. Have not managed to get one of these elusive DDT2 units.

So let me see if I understand the situation at the moment properly.
----------------------------------------A batch of 1000 type A work units was loaded to the server, then logically grouped by 25, of which all 25 of a given group must be returned and validated before the 50 resulting B type work units are sent out. No scientist intervention needed for that part. When all those B units results are returned, the scientists must review, or do something more to create the C type work units. Since I have not seen any work units at all in the past 2 days, I'm guessing one of the following conditions has occurred: 1) All 1000 A units are out, but not all results of any grouping of 25 has been returned and validated yet. (Since many people seem to already have badges, I'm somewhat doubtful that not a single grouping of 25 has been fully returned and validated) 2) Some of the 25 A groups have been fully returned, producing B units, but they've already all been passed out too, and we're stuck waiting for the next A group of 25 to return. Which when it does, that only give out 50 B units, and there's probably a lot more than 50 machines looking for more work. (If I was a betting man, this would be my bet) 3) All 1000 A units have resulted, and all 2000 B units are already handed out, and are either processed, or in process, and we must either wait another batch of A units to be loaded, or for the scientists to do what they do with the B results to create the C work units. Just my take on things. It would be nice to know if my understanding of the situation is correct, so I'm not misleading anyone else. [Edit 2 times, last edit by pball1224 at Mar 1, 2010 5:32:00 AM] |

No, not quite...
----------------------------------------All the 1,000 A type units have been sent out (as it's a minimum replication of 2, that results in 2,000 actual WU's being distributed). As far as I know, none of those batches of 25 (i.e. 50) WU's have been totally returned yet. This may have changed over the weekend, although due to that weekend, the techs haven't checked/come back to say that this is now the case. Once they do have one (or more) completed batches, they need to send them to the scientists to check before the B type's can be prepared and sent out. As you've correctly stated, for each batch of 25 A types, 50 B types will be produced (i.e., again, as it'll be replication 2 - we're talking 100 B type WU's here). As of now, no B types have been produced/sent out. Again, once each batch of 50 B types have been returned (i.e., 100 WU's in a batch), these will then need to be sent to the scientists to check before the C types can be produced - and it's here where the majority of WU's will result from. I'm real hopeful that, once the first batch of A types have been checked, then the next batch will be able to be produced and sent out quicker - thus, building up a waterfall effect, where there'll be a fairly steady flow of WU's (be they A, B or C type). Hopefully I've got that all correct - although like you, I'm just a cruncher here and my understanding of how it's all going to work may be flawed. Edit: PS. the original distribution of the 1,000 A types, will soon be reaching their date due back, and thus, "retreads" could well be going out for those Missing In Action later on this week.
