Deadline OWS nur/only 6h ?

[Ananas]

By mistake or on purpose? Versehentlich oder Absicht?

Absicht, weil sie dem Ende zu gehen und der Server Out of Wus lief.

Ah, Frage bereits gestellt und beantwortet. Ist aber schon ein bißchen lästig, wenn noch ein anderes CPU Projekt läuft...

In fact there will be an extension. I am developing a new version that is targeted to numbers with some restriction that (hopefully) will not lower the probability of finding an odd weird number. In this way we can go much further in the search with minor loss of chances. This will take some time, but I can assure that there will be a new batch of workunits.

Cheers,

6h is a bit too short though. There are now a lot of resents here on my machine, which has a very short turn-around time. I think it might be better to just let it run dry and have a slightly longer deadline, for example 1 day. We are not really near the end, because some workunits will be recycled. At current rate we may finish in a month, then there will be a new version and a new bunch of workunits. In fact I am now coding and testing the new version.

Much better now, thanks

The latest ones I received have (fresh, not resent ones) :

Sent : 4 Dec 2013 6:15:35 UTC
Deadline : 5 Dec 2013 6:15:35 UTC

which avoids Yoyo@home running panic mode (EDF)

p.s.: There are still a lot of aborted ones with the short deadline under ways so for a day or two we might still receive some of those.
