	I see we have a new version. I just completed successfully a task which is uploading now, but got no more work. So what was added to this new version ? ____________ Alpha Tester ~~ BOINCin since 10-Apr-2004 (2.28) ~~~ Join team USA

The new application we are about to distribute instead is able to chain works in a workflow, so when one result is returned another one is created restarting the job on another computer. This allows us to run very long workunits as a sequence of 20 hours ones. GDF

	Very interesting.

	Out of curiosity, how many workunits might you be chaining that way?

	Out of curiosity, how many workunits might you be chaining that way? As many as we like. Now we are just testing with two. In practice a result can spawn as many workunits as needed, even more than one at a time.

	I think I follow what you are saying: you can have a problem that can be sent out as (xxx) 20-hour results for us to crunch. I was curious about the size of the problem :) I don\'t understand if the problem would become 100 20-hour chunks, or 100,000 20-hour chunks ... millions?

Most likely just less than 10, but this allows us to use more complex thermodynamic protocols to compute the quantities we are looking at.
