I see your problem. Do the cache settings not work such as 0.1 & 0.1 days?

My 2 machines only have 4 & 8 threads.

Mini update as at 12:00 GMT (UTC).

The leaders of the normal & accelerated units have moved on 1 generation to 134 & 124. There is 1 residual accelerated unit still in generation 119 and the leading extreme has only reached 118.

There are 122 units within the extreme definition but only 115 listed. The other 7 are delayed accelerated units or units which have not moved since being restarted. They will now have a deadline of 2.75 days on the results page but only 1.75 days in BOINC Manager.

The 3 new ultras are now in generations 001, 002 & 003. They will need to advance 5 generations every week to make the calculated completion date. I will monitor that each Sunday.

It takes about 15 minutes for the new generation to be created. The units then join the queue.to be distributed, which should be a lot less than 4 hours as sometimes there are none waiting to go.

As Kevin has said, WCG have to work with procedures set by BOINC, so can't do whatever they want.

There are only 35,609 units all told, so 71,218 allowing for duplicates and 71,341 currently allowing for the extreme triplets.

That is not a large number to be spread among all the threads that participants have available. If you then deduct all those spares being held which is an unknown quantity it gets very tight.

I have said this before many times that if everyone minimsed their queues, there would be enough in circulation for download to be immediate. The shorter the queues held, the more reliable their machines will be considered. There is no need to hold more than 1 spare.

However, there is a problem controlling queue sizes for anyone with more than 64 threads on a machine available to ARP. The project limits need to be expanded.

Thank you, Mark

New unstuck units.
