Hello!
Three days ago I started my first SoB WU on my AMD XP 2200, this is it.
It's now on 6,469% and did run for 44 hours and 28 minutes.
Assuming the percentage progress is linear (and it looks like that as I checked it several times), the whole WU would run about 684,5 hours, that would be over 4 weeks!
But the deadline is on 03/10/2010... I guess it won't meet it. Should/can I abort that thing?
What would you suggest?

Your AMD XP has no SSE2 thus making LLR working more slowly.
If the deadlines are not being changed, I guess its better for you to not get SoB WUs with that CPU.

Okay, I already thought and feared so.
Could have been the case that the SoB might vary later but if no one has made such an experience I abort it and only use my X2 or my Quad for it.
Too bad for the already crunched time though... ;)

It's pretty linear from start to end.

6 TASK .... 250hours per WU |

Heck, what killer tasks...
Now I have one on my X2, almost 16 hours and about 5,07%, makes about 315 hours, as long as a 80-year model at CPDN.
Deadline is 03/13/10.
Should be no problem with the X2, but nevertheless I would suggest that the deadlines for these WUs should be about one, two or more weeks longer.
This WU is in panic mode and will now run continuously.
I'm hoping that they are not as sensitive like the Woodall/Cullen ones, so that a crash or something doesn't ruin the result file, would be a complete waste of time, if I finish it later and must see that it isn't valid because of a wrong result...

I have WIN XP C2D 2,1 Ghz and it crunched the WU http://www.primegrid.com/result.php?resultid=150832050 in 232 hours. It was reported 19 Feb 2010 8:48:21 UTC and I am still waiting to get credits, but it seems that it will take longer for a fellow 17orBust co-crunchers to complete their computation, so I am not expected to get credits some time soon, but my question is: the result shows that the Claimed Credits for the WU is 2,642.35. Upon validation apprx. how many credit I will get? thanks, Yusup

So far, people have been seeing between about 5.5K to 8.5K credits per SoB. Before the Year of the Tiger challenge, there was talk about adjusting the SoB credits (upwards, I think), but I suspect that's been pushed to the back burner as the server and admins have been in survival mode for the last week.

I thought they did adjust it already... Some people are now getting up to 10K credits per test.

That could be -- I haven't done any since the first batch. I guess they didn't mean they would adjust them retroactively.

Bonjour,
Je suis français. J'ai entamé un gros calcul depuis plus d'une semaine et mon ordinateur n'aura pas fini avant la date limite ! Mon travail sera-t-il donc perdu et inutile ?
Dois-je l'interrompre ?
Merci.

Salut Jean-Luc
Pardonnez mon mauvais français, mais je suis l`Allemand
si votre calcul n'est pas achevée avant la fin des temps, il est préférable d'annuler la calcul

This SoB wu was completed on the 10th of February: http://www.primegrid.com/result.php?resultid=150717187. It received exactly 10,000 credits when it cleared, and another wu of mine received almost as much.

I am running an AMD64 3200+ using Ubuntu 64-bit OS
I am at 28.730% after 120 hours. Still have 537 hours to go and
that will place it over the Mar 20th deadline. This is the only project
running on this laptop and I have external fans on it to help with the
heat. The post above above stated the the sse2[?] issue. I do not have
that issue on the laptop.
My faster machine is a AMD Phenom X4 but I could not get any SoB to
download. I think it did not want to while I was asking for other PG WUs
as well. So the AMD64 3200+ is the next fastest and is only crunching.
Of course somehow one tried to queue up on a 2 gig P4 server, but that would
have taken over 134 days. No good for that machine.
My question is the time factor.
On that fast machine crunching SoB only, what happens if the deadline
goes over be several days? I get nothing for the work? It is the fastest
machine that PG would download one WU to. I would have had no troubles
with the desktop, but it would not download when that was the option. Not
the only option, but one of the 2-3 with the "other work option" checked.
So should I abort? Should I take a chance?
I have 5 days in and 22 days to go with 14 days left on the deadline.
100% running this SoB project. I can do [did] Seti-Astropulse fast on this
machine, but this work is much slower it seems. So I need to know if it
will be worth the rest of the days of crunching, or should I just abort now?
22 days to go [ maybe] and only 14 days left.
I do not want to waist the crunching time if I am not going to get any credits.

If you have 28.73% done after 120 hours, you have only about 298 hours left.
These workunits are quite linear, BOINC is claiming the "To completion" - time incorrectly.
(100/28.73*120)-120=297.68...
That is 12.4 days, so you actually can meet the deadline.
Do not abort - keep on crunching.

Well something went "poof". I was listed at 600+ hours to go with 100% CPU usage,
BUT now it reset itself to 2141 hours to go. 0.943% done in 2 hours 15 min should make
to be 230+ hours total, by the math. What happened to adjust it to go from 600+ hours left to
2141 hours left to run???????
All 4 cores are running PG now. SoB, and three 321-llr; with Milkyway and Poem waiting.
The 321-llr jumped from 24 hours to 76 hours to finish.
Something happened somewhere. The 321-llr has 1 of the 3 running high priority, when they have the same deadline date, etc..
Well I have had this system since Mid Feb. and no troubles except trying to get Ubuntu to allow the
new GPU drivers to be updated so I can use it. The trouble is it wants it to be "turned off" before updating.
Weird and hopefully fixed soon.

What happened:
BOINC adjusted DCF.
Why:
You finished another PG workunit (321-llr?), or BOINC did run "CPU Benchmarks".
Just ignore the "To completion"-time that BOINC is claiming. (If you run only SoB, I think it will correct itself after you have 50% done).

Glad to see that my WU finally finished this night and got something about 7800 Credits. I'm satisfied with that, but the next ones I will only crunch with my new quad, will work better for sure. ;-)
Btw:
I don't know if this was asked before but I wonder if these SoB-WUs could use "trickles" like CPDN does. Is this possible to implement for such long tasks?

It's discussed pretty close to the beginning of this thread.

Ah thank you. Didn't find it per standard search, obviously it already was over 30 days ago.

these are WU'S that 3 computer had done.
is it possible to abort these WU from boinc,
or can you change the time of report ...
that are missing ressources on other Wu's
with best regards

You can see discussion here.
The initial solution was to lengthen deadline. It has since been increased from 21 days to 28 days. Both of the above WU's would have benefited from this. A better solution is much more complicated and not possible right now within BOINC limitations.
