    Hi !

    I completed all the work for Einstein@Home this morning but I haven't received new WU yet.

    Is that normal ?

      Hi, or maybe bonjour,

      Did you check if your BOINC manager is still allowing new WU to be fetched ?
      Did yo check if the client is able to reach the server ?

      If the responses are positive in both cases, then, sorry, I'm lost.
      Or maybe you can switch the manager "off" then "on" and hope that will solve the problem.

      A votre service :-)

      Hi Anne, BOINC decides what

        Hi Anne,
        BOINC decides what to crunch and what to download by a system of debts. Short term Debt (STD) contols the processing and Long Term Debt (LTD) controls the Downloading.

        The process that calculates these numbers is called the scheduler, designed and coded by John McLeod VII (JM7), a volunteer developer.

        Details of the Sheduler can be found in the unofficial Wiki here is the BOINC Scheduler page, and here is the Work-Fetch Policy

        edit/ P.S. There is an add-on program called BoincDV (debt Viewer) a link is available BOINC add-on Software

          What is documented is not yet completely coded (and the documentation for some pieces is impossible in any case).

          The basics are that the Long Term Debt and Short Term Debt go down when a project is crunching. The STD goes up for projects that have work on the system, and the LTD goes up for projects that either have work, or may be contactable.

          If the LTD is less than the negative of the CPU scheduling period, it must have used more than its share of the CPU and must wait to download more work until it has allowed other projects to get some work done. The debt values are based on the resource shares that you set.

            Interesting and instructing ! Thanks for sharing intrinsic details with us.
