Sorry to see you close down Docking.

I have been with you from the start, lots of work early on, and still a favourite project that I will miss.

Hope the research we assisted you with has helped you a great deal.

All the best

There is work there but you can't get it.

It could just be a BOINC thing and you may have to close BOINC and restart it.
Not saying that that will work but it could.

It would be wonderful if the project could keep going for some length of time longer.
Since the announcement I have had a lot of trouble getting any work from the project, so trying to reach any goals wasn't happening.

I have been with Docking from the start so I don't want to see it go.

Just go to your BOINC manager and select Projects.
Highlight the Docking@Home project.
Click on Detach or Remove button.
This will detach your computers from the project and it will disappear from your BOINC Manager.
You of course will still have an account on the Docking project but after May you wont be able to access it.
Your points totals will be retained on the Stats sites.

Servers "Not Running", only upload/Download and Web pages.

Perhaps they decided to shut down early and just collect already sent results.

Well I just nudged past that 391,000 seconds to a new high of 399,551.20 seconds on WU 34646201 , with another stuck work unit, Type 1m0b1htf.

Hope they clear these out soon as I have gotten no credit for over a week but processed hundreds of hours of work for no result.

Thanks Boyu,
I will have to wait for the work units to flush from my computer as I am not near that computer to abort them.

But glad you are monitoring the situation.

Conan

Edit:--@ Mark,
I feel for your loss as I have lost over 432 hours in just 4 work units due to the no progress problem (I think, as I am not at that computer)

I have reported 4 work units over the last week or so that had run times of up to 108 hours, then the Error message "Maximum Elapsed Time Exceeded" kills the work unit.

I am not near that computer so do not know if any progress was made or even if the CPU did anything with these work units.

WU 34246730 Run time 383,240.00 s Claim 2,187.08 Grant 0.00 Type 1ohr1htf_
WU 34234226 Run time 391,618.80 s Claim 2,234.90 Grant 0.00 Type 1iiq1htf_
WU 34621588 Run time 391,345.90 s Claim 2,236.05 Grant 0.00 Type 1iiq1htf_
WU 34627009 Run time 391,779.20 s Claim 2,238.51 Grant 0.00 Type 1iiq1htf_

Run time add up to 1,557,983.90 seconds or 432.77 hours lost in just these 4 work units.
Very disappointing (would of liked the claimed points though (8,896.54 total).

You can see how they all hit the maximum allowed time and then they get killed.
