1) Message boards : Number crunching : 1 million cpu-seconds (Message 1718)
Posted 12 Apr 2023 by JohnMD
Post:
When larger YAFU tasks register more than a million cpu-seconds, the task forgets the millions and registers only the last 6 integer digits. Cobblestones are awarded according to the task's memory. It is therefor not surprising that larger yafu WU's are not very popular.
Please fix your application.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : threads ? (Message 1712)

Post:
Sometimes WU's use only ONE thread while all the other allocated threads are unavailable for other work.
This smells like bad planning.!
It's easy to understand that if an mt-project releases threads, so it could be impossible to regain them later.
This is no excuse for mt-projects which áren't consistent.

I expected about 10 times as much credit for -

- based on other WUs on this host.

252 credits for almost 3 days' crunching - is it worth it ?

5) Message boards : Number crunching : Deadline too short (Message 1287)

Now that another client has been given the WU, I have cancelled my task which has now consumed nearly 8 days, and had not even finished the first filtering.
Divided by 4 threads that is still about 2 days each - way beyond your 16 hours estimate.
Try refining your deadlines for those who don't have gamimg hardware.

This WU has used 7 days already. Your estimate is way out. That is why the deadline is far too short.

This WU IS progressing - why so short deadline ?

I terminated -
https://yafu.myfirewall.org/yafu/result.php?resultid=1108768
Log shows over 2000% complete and more than 2 years still to run !
The task was restarted once - is there a problem with restart ??

Currently there are 2 tasks checked out to me.
Is this really the limit per computer ?
