Long running work unit

[ChristianB]

Yes I award credit to all errored tasks that ran for more than 10 minutes. I will execute the script tomorrow I think.

Any news on this? It's been over 6 months and the tasks still have pending credit:
14948216
14948220

1 year and still pending... Any news?

Cross Validating all the single VM tasks is the next thing on the to do list for rna world right now. I'm a bit more busy with my new job than I expected. So I won't give an estimate on when I do this right now.

As already noted on the projects mainpage several weeks ago, we are on it - but it is a bit tedious, so please be patient, justified credits won't escape our attention.

Hi Christian,

Could you please run it once again? I have several WUs that went without credit, at least one of them long enough to get credit awarded, I believe.

kind regards,

Granted credits to 479 tasks

Hi to all...

I have the following WU running:

Progress: 2.690%
Elapsed: 67:14:56
Remaining: 2432:35:06
Deadline: 03/11/2015

It is running correctly (I mean, elapsed is increasing, remaining is decreasing), but I am afraid the deadline will not be enough. I would like to finish it, may I leave it running or should I be forced to abort?

Many thanks,
Valter.

Is this the deadline form the client or the server? The server deadline is extended automatically within the last 14 days of the deadline. It is not updated on the Client.

[Valter]

Sorry, I did not know there was a difference. It is the deadline appearing on the BOINC Manager, under the tab "tasks".

Updating the task:

Progress: 2.991%
Elapsed: 74:53:32
Remaining: 2428:48:00

Thanks,
Valter.

Yes, the deadline in BOINC Manager under the tab task is NOT update. But on the RNA World server you see the updated deadline.

Many thanks.

The updated deadline is then November 3. Since it still has now 2424 hours to go (101 days), the task will not reach thad deadline either. May it be postponed again?

The deadline shown in the client is the one that is initially assigned.
The WU will contact our server to send progress information. On the basis of this reported progress, the deadline is AUTOMATICALLY extended as long as you keep contact to the internet once in two weeks.
The server will update the deadline BUT THIS UPDATED DEADLINE IS NOT SHOWN IN YOUR CLIENT.
You may watch the real deadline by checking that WU on our server (that's what Yoyo meant above).

Conclusion:
As long as you have internet access once in two weeks, you need not to worry at all about deadlines.
Everything is automated, irrespective of what the client tries to tell you.
So, just keep the WU running and everything should be fine.

Michael.
