Can this be shared on the BOINC message boards... It sounds like something that both Development and perhaps WCG might want to look at.

Since it appears that we have all the volunteer's needed to do a smaller number of "Larger" CPDN Tasks the choice is for the volunteer to make.

1. Load other projects at a lower priority to fill your System when CPDN is empty on tasks (and maybe miss a stray CPDN task being resent after failing or timing out)

2 Have your system empty and ready when the stray CPDN task or small test batch comes available. You will use less electricity, but accomplish no science while waiting.

Both are easy decisions based on the volunteers "Wants" and or "Needs"

Note while waiting there are many other deserving projects that would love to have your support and clock cycles.

Feel free to pick a subject area that "speaks" to you. Math, Medical or Biology, Astrophysics, Computers and Games, Physical Science,

Thanks

And now we have a Credit posting that has hit our CPDN accounts so the next Data export will get them to the aggregators.

A Thank you to all who messaged and assisted.

My memory of the past was that the exported values of data and the time and date were updated daily regardless of the amount of Credit. If the Credit script did not run the dates would increment and the credit value would stay the same.

Well I have two systems with enough power to do a good job. And I happen to have gotten 1 WU on the better of the two. It has been a very long time without any Windows releases that had any volume so I will not stir the political pot.

Yes as long as they get "their results".... of course if the 3000 WU's were spread 2 per system across the available Windows systems the researchers would get their 3000 WU's back faster than waiting on fewer systems with huge queued stacks of WU's waiting on long due dates.

IMHO

For those Windows users waiting for a WU, like myself, a short giggle just to make you smile. Has nothing to do with not having enough work for the available Win systems,,, BUT....

If you look at the Application page the versions of Window OS's supported by the various application has never been updated to include Windows 10.

Example
Weather At Home 2 (wah2)
Platform Version Created Average computing
Microsoft Windows (2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8) 8.24 3 Nov 2016, 14:42:42 UTC 10,943 GigaFLOPS

New Work and Old Preferences....

During the recent update to current BOINC software all of the Project related preferences, (Which application you wished to run) disappeared. Are W/U's now being distributed solely by System configuration and capacity or in the back ground are "old" preferences still in play ?

Thanks
