Had over 40 of these and getting through them with only a few left out of that bunch, they pay well and are completing OK, so will keep grinding through them.

Hi! Some of new workunits, like "wu_e1074_..._exp5" are very long and expected run time - too short.
I have given a credit for all tasks like those, completed after deadline. Conan, you can check it.

In next few days crunching of even more huge workunits are expected, but dealine will be extended.


Thank you hoarfrost, much appreciated, running another 39 a couple have gone over a day now.

Every one of the tasks I downloaded is a resend as they couldn't be completed in time.


Yes just returned one that ran for just under 100,000 seconds and got zero points for it as it was too late to validate, well that was fun.

Is there going to be more work for

Generalized symmetries in parastrophic slices for DLS of order 10

There is no more work and it appears to be near 100%.

I came back a bit late to have processed more work (did not have 64 bit Windows machine).

Just asking as I needed a lot more hours to reach 100 + hours on WUProp@home to get another star.

Or is a new application on it's way?

Thanks

Alas I don't have 64 bit Windows computers, just 64 bit Linux. So no work for me for 2 years now, so many points and badges I have missed out on.

Will Linux work ever return?

This one I will have to sit out as I have no 64 bit Windows machine. Maybe a Linux version may pop up. I doubt it though as I didn't run Gerasim as it was only a Windows project.
Will keep waiting for the next one.

Yes I have one as well, completing the current set.
It is a lot harder to get a ODLS pair in rank 10, haven't got one as yet, but hopeful it is possible.

Are ODLS totals for April a little tardy being posted, or am i really that anemic in finding pairs for the month? :)


I'll drink to that (Cider please, apples are good for you).

Got another one of these today.

Happened on the "Number Crunching" forum with the "Validated but 0 credit" thread.

Also on this very thread as well.

EDIT: seems to happen if more than 7 or so words are typed.

max. FLOPS des Gerätes 0.00 GFLOPS


HTF can that be???


All my work units also show 0.00 GFLOPS, Linux and Windows. Does this project not use Flops at all?

Sorry but my internet provider will not allow access to this web site as it says it may contain malicious content and blocks me, even when I say to proceed anyway it still blocks it.

I might give my Windows computer a run and see if it lets me through.

I have uploaded fixed SSE2 version, and SSSE3 version (notice triple S here, it is Supplemental SSE3). It turned out that with new compilation options these versions are a bit faster than previous "SSE2" version:

SSE2:
real    4m8.098s
user    4m6.121s
sys     0m0.032s

SSSE3:
real    4m2.163s
user    4m0.198s
sys     0m0.018s

Previous "SSE2":
real    4m14.850s
user    4m12.858s
sys     0m0.047s


Thanks Daniel, the new SSE2 optimizations work a treat and are in fact as you said, a bit faster than before, by quite a few minutes.

Thanks again for the effort and great work.

I have checked this and found bug in compilation options. SSE2 app versions uses SSSE3 instructions which are not supported by your CPU, so they crash with error/signal "Illegal Instruction". I will release fixed app versions later today. Until then please use previous app version, or non-SSE one.


Thanks Daniel,

I have put all back to the old application and am now again processing some work.

It is now getting worse. All my computers have killed every work unit they get (Windows XP and Linux Fedora).

All was going great but this new version has just killed everything.

I have now uninstalled and re-installed on one computer, then downloaded the new version again, stopped Boinc and extracted files, then restarted Boinc and the 1 WU that was on the computer after reinstall then crapped itself and died.

So seeing now when new work downloads if the new version works from a bare slate.
