Hello all,

I've just recieved 4 wu's on my Vista host and they all are assigned to the new 5.05 app.
3 wu's show a estimate to completion of 3:47 hours and the other 1 has an estimate of 5:03 hours.

Are there also "bigger" wu's at this moment or is this a "miscalculation" of the manager.

;-)

I'm getting a mix of the two runtime lengths on all my systems (Linux, XP, Vista). If they ask for a short amount of work, they get the shorter WUs, but if they ask for a bunch of work, they are starting to get the longer ones. The download lengths of the WUs seems to still be 1.04 MB. I think Andre had said in another post that there were going to be some different WUs soon after we got the new client. Maybe we're seeing the first of those but that's just a guess on my part :-)

Still the same workunits, but I have changed the estimated flops needed from 15E12 to 20E12 based on some calculations we performed with actual running times and measured machine flops. before we were at the low side of the estimate, now we are on the higher side which is better according to the boinc scheduling gurus :-)

Thanks for noticing!
