Does setting a different workunit length such as 2 hours, 4 or 5 hours receive different kinds of work... Hi Mike The duration doesn't affect the tasks you receive - each Work Unit contains a starting point, and your computer will compute as many models as it can (each with slightly different variables) within your chosen time period. Some Work Units are more complex than others so sometimes your computer will fit hundreds of decoys into the given time, and sometimes it'll run over the time limit because it's still working on the first task.

As the scale of the grid broadens out during the progression of the current model, you may see more dots of the prior models you've run.

Is anybody crunching this Rosetta WU? rs_stg0_lrlx_t459_casp8_SAVE_ALL_OUT_20813_1841_0 Because it starts as an 18hs WU (as I set in prefs) then time-to-complete goes up slowly to 36h, so total time is 53hs.. The other WUs I'm crunching are 18h-long! M@cro - BOINC.Italy ID: 66695 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
