I'm getting deferrals telling me there is now work available for the applications I have chosen:

02-Jul-09 01:36:55 Einstein@Home [sched_op_debug] Server version 607
02-Jul-09 01:36:55 Einstein@Home Message from server: No work sent

02-Jul-09 01:36:55 Einstein@Home [sched_op_debug] Reason: requested by project

So does that mean there's only Arecibo work available? (Something I don't want to run on my comparative slow computers, especially not in these hot days and nights).

Hmm, of course 1 minute after me posting this (which was after waiting for 10 minutes already), I got a new task. So ignore the above for now. :-)

I was getting pretty much

I was getting pretty much only ABP after the project came back up, but I'm starting to see GW again with today's host checkin.

LOL... Oh, I see you are too now! :-)

Have you actually tried running them? I found that the Arecibo work actually ran faster than the Hierarchical work on my Celeron 400 MMX.

I have. They took 28-40 hours whereas GW runs in under 8. Since I am only allowing BOINC to do work between 9pm and 7:15am (when it's cooler) and GW doesn't heat my CPU as much as ABP does (ABP = 69C and above, GW is 54-57C even with new Nexus Silver applied), I prefer running GW.

Ah well, your machines

Ah well, your machines obviously aren't old enough or slow enough. When you get to the 4-day runtime range, ABP wins!

This is most likely an effect of "WUs waiting for transitioner" (see server status page) that we had when the project came back up. GW (S5R5) work needs a responsive transitioner for generating tasks, ABP work doesn't.

I have been getting this message starting back in April, just after I opted out of the binary search.

That's interesting. I'll look into that when I find the time.

It's still doing it. I just

It's still doing it. I just revived my second computer after its PSU died a week ago.
