Message boards : Number crunching : New work units completing in 38 seconds ( Message 5991 )Posted 2546 days ago by DGG Looks like Docking is back to producing what is for my PCs a normal duration WU of about 2.5 hours again. And it looks like its got some WUs available again. Thanks to the Docking staff for taking care of this! |

Message boards : Number crunching : Server Problems. ( Message 5985 )Posted 2547 days ago by DGG Hi. No response from Docking folks yet. See the post regarding workunits taking only 38 seconds and that will tell you what's going on. But till Docking folks see and fix this it's doubtful we'll get many workunits as we burned through 40,000 of them in less than a minute each and only a few are still left. |

Message boards : Number crunching : New work units completing in 38 seconds ( Message 5984 )Posted 2547 days ago by DGG I think the reason that little work is now available is because we all burned through those 40,000+ workunits in under a minute each and so they've mostly all been vlaidated now. I too am now only getting a few a day (probably someone's aborted units). Hello Docking project administrators!!! Is there anybody out there who can tell us whats going on or fix this? |

Message boards : Number crunching : New work units completing in 38 seconds ( Message 5978 )Posted 2548 days ago by DGG Am I the only one whose work units are completing so quickly. It takes about 24 seconds to complete 1%. Then about 26 seconds to complete 3%. Then the rate goes exponential to 100% in 38 seconds. I am going through a large number of work units. I have a quad core processor and on three of the cores I have older work units that are going to take about three hours to complete. It is just the most recent work units that are completing so fast. Apparently most people are having this happen as they went through all their available workunits in record time. Got a feeling this isn't right but will have to wait till the Docking people notice it. My 3.4GHz quad core usually finishes a workunit in about 2.5 hours. So since these are taking less than a minute these must be an error or something special they are testing. They do seem to be validating and giving the default credit though. Any Docking project administrators out there that know what's happening? |

Message boards : Wish list : Screensaver News Ticker Addition ( Message 5403 )Posted 2879 days ago by DGG Docking@Home is my favorite project. To a large extent that was due to it's screen saver and short work units. To be honest, the new scrolling news ticker added to the screen saver is useless and frankly ruins the look of the rotating image. It never has any news anyway. It just basically says that its for news updates. Why add a news ticker if you don't update it frequently with news? And in all likeliness if the project is down, you're not going to be able to update anything in this ticker anyway. It frankly ruins the apperance of the rotating image. Please make an option to slect or unselect it from the settings menu. This way those who want it can have it and those that don't can keep the appearance of the screen saver like it was. If you can't add an option for it in the settings I vote to remove it. |

Message boards : Number crunching : Work Units That Never Want To End ( Message 4989 )Posted 3019 days ago by DGG Yes my 1hsgs did complete once they got over the hump of showing no progress for a while. I've finished both those I was concerned about. Just needed to be patient and wait a little longer. It takes my old Pentium 4 3GHz a good deal more time to complete than you mention so maybe it feels the increase a bit more than the more current CPUs. |

Message boards : Number crunching : Work Units That Never Want To End ( Message 4984 )Posted 3020 days ago by DGG After several hours of very little noticable progress the 1hsg units I mentioned before have slowly started to show progress again. So I guess they are indeed running, just very slowly. Just a long period of not showing progress. I hope they don't error out at the end. I can normally finish a WU in about 8 hours but these are going to be around 14-16 hours before they are done if the current estimates are correct. |

Message boards : Number crunching : Work Units That Never Want To End ( Message 4983 )Posted 3021 days ago by DGG I've now had 2 of 1hsg units reach 43% and 45% and quit showing any progress for hours. I've also had 1 of the 1hbv die as well. I just received an email from a friend who also does D@H and has told me his 1hsg units also stopped for several hours showing progress and then kicked back in to normal speed and finished. So maybe I'm just not being patient enough? I had aborted the 1hbv one and maybe that was premature. In the last 4 hours and 22 minutes one of my current 1hsgs hasn't moved at all and one has shown 0.055 increase in % of work done. Maybe these WUs have something special about them that makes them process slowly in the middle? Anyone else still having trouble with them or is it just me? |

Message boards : Number crunching : Work Units That Never Want To End ( Message 4982 )Posted 3021 days ago by DGG I've now had 2 of 1hsg units reach 43% and 45% and quit showing any progress for hours. I've also had 1 of the 1hbv die as well. I'm guessing the whole D@H batch of work unit is corrupted. Has anyone been able to finish a WU lately? Again suspending all D@H work as it's wasting hours of CPU time reaching a point of no progress without any results. I know the folks at D@H are busy with their own lives but it looks like they need to delete all their tasks and start again. |

Message boards : Number crunching : Work Units That Never Want To End ( Message 4958 )Posted 3023 days ago by DGG Getting some taks like an 1hbv... that went to 52.975% and quit showing progress and one 1hpv...that shows 0% all the time with now change to time to complete but CPU time is clocking up. Had another one I aborted prior to these two thinking it was just a bad WU. Can we get a response from someone at docking@home regarding this problem? |
