0 Credit after weeks of computing

[Shann]

Hi,
This task end in error after 42 days of computing
http://www.rnaworld.de/rnaworld/result. ... d=14924573
This one end in error after 10 days
http://www.rnaworld.de/rnaworld/result. ... d=14925029

And i didn't get any credit for this work.
Is it normal ?

For normal BOINC projects this is normal. Because RNA World and especially the VM application is still in Beta testing we will grant credit for aborted/failed tasks. This is done manually from time to time. Maybe tomorrow.

Thanks for the quick reply
I didn't know that it was a manual action.

I understand better

I now granted the correct application. For those interested, yesterday I granted over 700,000 Credits to aborted or errored XXL tasks by accident. Today I granted around 200,000 Credits to errored VM tasks correctly.

Ah this is good to know, spent 373 hours computing so far and was worried the WUs would time out and I would not get any points. When the WUs run out of time what should I do?

Assuming that you use the latest applications, the VM WUs do auto-extend their deadlines as long as you ensure Internet access for the relevant machine(s).
