The "run-time" timeout is 2 weeks and the wall clock timeout is 3 weeks. This means that if a work unit takes longer than either of these for some reason, it quits and goes to the server for new work. The work units here are set to average about 10 hours of "run-time" on an average machine. We reduced the average from 20 hours to 10 hours early in the project because some work units were occasionally taking way too long and to give members more frequent score updates. The actual time for a particular work unit can vary 10-fold or more depending on the difficulty of the given protein being processed and depending on the speed of the machine doing the work. "Run-time" is the wall clock time during which your machine is up and available for running Rosetta. The vendor software is not able to measure actual CPU time spent on Rosetta, but in most cases "Run time" is not much different than the CPU time.

I have posted the time-out information in the Community Maintained FAQs Forum.

Hi VAIO GRX616,
---------------------------------------- In another thread vaio said: Just wait and report back after you've downloaded and crunched a 4 meg unit I'd like to know how you find out the size of the WU, apart from being in front of the PC (or 'rig') when it's talking to the WCG server.Anyone got any ideas? Here's my answer to your question: Downloaded work unit is placed in your Program Files\WorldCommunityGrid folder and is named ud_nnnnnnn (without any extension), where n is a decimal digit (e.g. ud_2232747). The size of this file is typically 3146 or 3147 bytes less than the number you can see in "Downloading ....... bytes from mmmmmm " message while downloading data. nnnnnnn in the file name is (I imagine) the uniqe number of the WU. What the difference of 3146 (3147) means I've got no idea, maybe just redundant bytes to secure the transmission. It's just my recent observation only without any insight, so pls take it cum grano salis. Ivang. [Edit 2 times, last edit by Former Member at Jul 31, 2005 4:16:03 PM] |

Thanks Ivan, that helps a lot. Located the file and currently 765KB. Will look again on the next WU.
Thats some nice consistent stats you have there at HaI Team Czechia. Your English (and Latin) are very good, maybe start a team thread in the teams room; could get a few extra members on board |
