Looks like we crunched all there was to crunch. | |

Since computers are getting faster and faster, maybe the university needs to hire some more PhDs :) | |

Flops/sec are about the same as they have been for over a year during periods when there are a constant supply of WU's. | |

Since computers are getting faster and faster, maybe the university needs to hire some more PhDs :) Graduate students in this field are probably rare. And they have to plan their work before crunching, and write up their thesis afterwards. So there is not a constant supply of work from a relatively small group. But at least one of their graduates is now at Stanford. I will let you find him on the Folding project. | |

Just to chit-chat and provide some context: one problem with creating workunits (for new projects) is that the process is very error-prone. A misplaced keystroke may mean that days or weeks of time and computing time are lost. This invites defensiveness. (By the way, it's not different with supercomputers - just slightly faster turnaround). | |

It’s all good. Crunch them if they are available, if not I have backup projects with low caches. I try to keep the computers busy, you know the mischief they can get into if I leave them unsupervised for any length of time lol. 😂😂😂 | |

Probably they find an error in the work units and ordered them cancelled. I wouldn't worry to much about them. | |
