There's no way to extend the deadline. | |

As I'm now at 46% I'll continue even if I get zero credits. | |

Sorry, but this project doesn't extend deadlines. So, for a given app (long-runs or slow-runs), if your GPU can't finish a task within 5 days of being assigned, then you should edit your profile to not get tasks for that app. It's that simple. | |

As I'm now at 46% I'll continue even if I get zero credits. It doesn't make any sense to keep it running. As soon as it expires, another host will pick it up, most probably with a much faster GPU, and crunch it before you finish on it. So your effort will contribute nothing... ____________ | |

advice accepted, unit aborted but why the short deadlines? | |

The short deadlines are because each WU is configured based on the results of a previous WU. If the deadlines were longer completing a full science run would take too long and there would also need to be many multiples more WUs. The science runs here are GPUGrid are quite targeted, they are not just fire-hosed hoping for a happy conclusion or to build information in a database | |
