Project 3798

[anko1]

When I first saw this in my log, I thought I had an error for sure. Then when I saw the finished unit, I thought this had to be the world's smallest WU. When I looked it up, I saw that they are testing code.

Wow it's been completed 3 times

[anko1]

That's interesting. I've had three separate WUs so far:

Project: 3798 (Run 6, Clone 0, Gen 28)
Project: 3798 (Run 30, Clone 4, Gen 1)
Project: 3798 (Run 11, Clone 0, Gen 1)

Btw, are they giving points for this? It didn't say in the project description.

[toTOW]

No record under your name for Project: 3798 (Run 6, Clone 0, Gen 28), but two people completed it successfully.

Hi anko1 (team 47815),
Your WU (P3798 R30 C4 G1) was added to the stats database on 2008-11-25 02:21:08 for 5 points of credit.
There also two other full credits for this one.

Project: 3798 (Run 11, Clone 0, Gen 1) : two people got full credit for it (but not you).

Yes they're worth 5 points ... and I don't think you should get them ...

[anko1]

"Yes they're worth 5 points ... and I don't think you should get them ..." At a point per minute I don't mind. Thanks for checking.

Edit: thanks anandhanju for explaining toTOW's comment. Edit to reflect that.

Having an issue uploading this one as well. From the time of download to the first upload attempt, about 17 minutes. Took about 6 minuted from writing local files to past main MD loop, completed with 100% time remaining.

Don't care about the points, just wondering how much longer this will try to upload. What is the expiry date and when will it auto delete? Or should I not sweat this?

I think the unit has an expiry period of 2 days, and as toTOW said, they shouldn't have been assigned outside of testing.

I had trouble uploading them as well, but they just went through about half an hour ago. Try stopping the client and restarting it or use the -send all switch.

Will give it a go, thanks-

No go. Will it auto delete after expiration?

If it gets close to the deadline, I'd delete the unit. If autosend tries to send a past due unit, it kills the unit that's being worked on. At least that's been my experience.

Looks like project 3798 is back again. Downloaded 48 min ago; preferred deadline 34 min ago. I suppose I'm too slow?

[John Naylor]

lol... it reports that deadline but folds on straight through it... I dunno why.

[susato]

I'll report it but since it's the weekend, please have extra patience. And it may be doing precisely what it's supposed to do.

IMHO this project is server test code again. Did you see there's no atom count for it in its psummary listing? The 0.01 day preferred deadline would make sure that it gets issued again every few minutes, slowly building up in number and in its ability to load up the server, while the 2 day final deadline gives everyone who gets it a chance to earn points on it.

Rather ingenious if you ask me!

[Grandpa_01]

I think they were trying to load the servers today I started getting the about 3 AM this morning and kept getting them until about 1 hr ago 7 PM. I had around 30 of them today, made for allot of points and probably did a pretty good job of loading up the servers. The longest I had to wait for another WU was 7 attempts most connected and downloaded on the first attempt.

That's correct. I am going to stop new assignments of project 3798 for now though to avoid wasting CPU cycles.
