Hi, folks

I have recently had a 5 week outage due to machine breakdown and installed 6.6.36 on its return.

Since then I have been getting the following messages on WCG, Einstein & Rosetta:

09/09/2009 09:33:39 World Community Grid Message from server: No work sent
09/09/2009 09:33:39 World Community Grid Message from server: (won't finish in time) Computer on 79.6% of time, BOINC on 100.0% of that

I was not surprised when I first restarted and the message was showing Computer on less than 10%, but now it is up to 80% it is a bit ridiculous. I have had to suspend a CPDN unit in order to get other projects.

I have a dual core machine which effectively means that I have 48 hours a day available but if I divide the Time to Completion by the number of days remaining for each work unit and add, it only comes to 6 hours 37 minutes per day needed.

So why does it think that any new WU's will not finish in time? Allowing for the 80%, I still have 30 hours a day available and Einstein and WCG units would take about 12 hours and Rosetta 1 day.

I have the following weightings CPDN 280, Einstein 40, LHC 80, Rosetta 60, Seti 80 & WCG 100. Allowing for LHC being out of work for some time now and Seti replying no jobs available plus the 80%, that gives the following times available per day: CPDN 22.4 hours, Einstein 3.2 hours, Rosetta 4.8 hours & WCG 8 hours. They would all complete within the time available.

This was never a problem before my machine broke down.

Has anyone any ideas, please?

Mike

Update to 6.6.38, which has that specific problem fixed.
Windows 32bit version
Windows 64bit version

Many thanks, Jord. I now have a full set of WUs (apart from LHC, that is).
