Message boards : Number crunching : WU disappeared

Today a WU which had run 11 days on my i5-8250U/MX150 disappeared. I can find NO record - neither on the host nor on the user (mig). Unfortunately I have no record of WU or Task number. | |

The deadline for GPUGrid workunits is 5 days. You won't receive any credit if you return the result 6 days after the deadline. Do not crunch (long) GPUGrid tasks on an MX150, as you burn electricity (and your GPU in your laptop) in vain. Crunching on laptops are not recommended anyway. | |

The deadline for GPUGrid workunits is 5 days. You won't receive any credit if you return the result 6 days after the deadline. this isn't necessarily true all the time. it depends totally on what happens with resends. if he returns a result first, he will still get credit, no matter how long it has been since deadline. though the chances of a resend not being returned yet are increasingly slim the longer past deadline you go. but very possible if the resends land in the hands of someone else that: -also has a slow GPU -turns their system off intermittently -combination of the previous two -turns their system off indefinitely -experiences some system issue preventing computation -etc have this scenario happen 2-3x and you're now in the range of 15+ days since the first task was issued with no result returned. I've seen this exact scenario not only at other projects, but also here at GPUGRID. ____________ | |

There could be a number of things wrong here. | |
