When the work unit is determined as over, either by the server (a stop message is sent to the client) or by the end user completing the result, it is validated. If you only completed 30% of the result, your trickle messages and intermediate upload have already been validated, you will get credit for that 30%. If we see that your client has returned an invalid trickle message/intermediate upload. We will send your client a stop message and if there was something good before that point, we will use that to start the next generation of the workunit.
Thanks, -Uplinger |

uplinger--are FAH2 WUs all the same size and worth the same number of credits or are they variable as in other projects?

Papa3, the research team may still run more work under phase 1 from time to time, so there's still hope :) Does this mean FA@H is going to "intermediate" status or is it going under "completed research?" |

Papa3, the research team may still run more work under phase 1 from time to time, so there's still hope :) I certainly hope so!!! I've been crunching FA@H continuously for 9-1/2 years now (since April 23, 2006) - it's been almost a DECADE now of constant crunching! Getting to the doorstep of 200 years of project crunching time isn't easy!!! |

uplinger--are FAH2 WUs all the same size and worth the same number of credits or are they variable as in other projects? They should all be similar size. There is variation, but shouldn't be a huge swing, maybe +/- 10%. Atleast that is what we've seen in our testing so far. They should not all be worth the same amount of credit. I know there is an issue with an apparent max given out and it is on my list of things to investigate from BETA. Thanks, -Uplinger |

I received four of them. And all are due by the 4th of October. Will that be the rule for all tasks? Edit: to precise that they are quorum 1 tasks, no resent. Yes because of how they work. If you only complete 92% of it by the deadline, the 90% has already been recorded and the remaining 10% will be put into a new WU with additional work. Every 10% it sends what it has computed back, so this way if someone decides to leave the project and they completed at least 10%, that would have been sent back. So not completing a WU is not that big of an issue. With the shorter deadline, there is a strong reason to lower your cache as it makes little sense to have multiple days worth of long running WU's sitting there. I saw run times of 6 hours to 18 hours per WU in the beta. I thought the purpose of a having a *few* days of work queued up was to buffer some work so that there is something to work on in the event of server or network outages. Why is there now reason to lower the cache? Those outages will still occur and I don't want my baby's to go hungry. It's bad for them. Cheers   |

I am running a i7-4870MQ CPU, 32GB RAM and 512GB SSD and each work unit takes about 9.5 hours to complete. You really need to a super computer to do this.
Itching for i7-6700K... |

New project: I'm in :-)
