I've just recently learned how to queue up more work units....ok. But I have only one that really does any work. 4hrs. Now the rest (5) say that the time to complete is around 7hrs. They were all completed in less than 200secs each. And the string that they have were all very similar. Maybe I should have a queue of 10 or so? The reason behind having a large queue is so that I dont have to put up with the constant "No scheduler" msg. Whats your feeling about this? Does anyone think this is fishy? :shock: :?

I think, the better place to put such issues is the Forum @Berkeley:

But to answer it nevertheless:
Some WUs are just too noisy to generate any useful result. they get discarded quite fast. usually 1 out of 10-20 is such a WU, and you seem to have had the bad luck to get a whole bunch of them

This wil not happen that often to my experience.

I'll go there now.....and plead my case. :wink:

How do you do that? Other than just clicking "update" and hoping for a good one?

The connect every x days sets the queue size in days. In general the only reasons for setting this above a day are a known local connection outage, a flakey always on connection (often goes out without warning), modem use, or single project. If you are on an always on connection, and are running several projects, there is no real reason to have this setting be larger than a day.

The new scheduler, 4.35 and newer, will balance resource shares faster if your queue is about the same as your actual duration between connections.

You can see my post [url=http://www.boincstats.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=424' target='_blank]here[/url] on how to do this step by step.
