Is there any way to get more CPU work units? I know there are more and more people liking to support this project and a lot of high end server grade equipment being moved off of FAH right now that would really like a new home to do bio work at. This project seems like a good fit for the type of science they are used to and would like to support. I am aware of other BOINC projects, but suggestions for moving on is not what I'm looking for.

Thank you. I'm trying to get more of the team to look this way. Some are just sitting idle or are drifting between projects. :)

Coming back after a while I'm glad to see that there are WU's for CPU's. I've got one of the hundreds that's still going after 13 hours. Not worried but just asking is that normal. Dave

I have not had any run that long. I don't think that is normal. However, you may want to let them know which work unit you speak of.

+1

My Android devices would like some CPU tasks to work on.

Probably not going to put out any more CPU WUs of that last type - there were a lot of technical problems on the server side with dealing efficiently with so many WUs.

There will be new CPU WUs along soon but of a different type, and they'll not run on Android.

OK. Thanks for the heads up. I'll redistribute the workload amongst my CPU hosts.
