Should the TONI_KKAL Work Units be classified as a long unit? They only take my computers 5 to 6 hours to complete and you only get 13,924.90 credits with the 50% early finish bonus.

I think not. They are clearly short tasks, taking less than 3 hrs on some of my cards. Quality control must be on holiday :-)

My guess is that the project team would like to expedite this experiment and by classifying it as a "long" they are sending to people who typically have higher capability GPUs. This probably results in not only quicker returns on individual WUs runs but also is less likely to have delays caused by client errors and timeouts which require "resends".

Thanks - Steve

Just deployment scheme changes;

the task sizes will be sorted out later.

Task types and sizes change according to the science.

GDF - This thread points to how starved crunchers are for information about the project which we are all dedicated to. I know the you and your team are very busy but I would like to ask you to have someone post a quick 1 minute update when *something* is changed or implemented. This would help keep us not only informed but also fully engaged.

Thanks,
Steve

Hi Toni,

Thank you for the update. I knew there must have been a reason you released the KKAL as *long*, I didn't know the *longs* had made the scheduling more difficult than it usually is. Nice to see you have been working creativly to help keep all of us crunchers busy :thumbsup:

I know the project team has been waiting a long time to get the *longs* in place and I'm glad to see it start to happen for you! Now that you have a mechanism in place for different length WUs maybe once NVIdia releases cards based on the 28 nm process we will have the chance to crunch some 20ns WUs for you :O

Thanks again,
Steve

So just what ARE KKAL WU's, anyway? The GPUGrid pages http://www.gpugrid.net/science.php do NOT mention in any way such WU's

What's up??

Please explain what these WU's are.

Thanks.
