Curious run times

I just had a look at your failed workunits. You can do this too. Look at the that you can find within the 'results' section of the webpage.

A typical failed job is shown below. The job ran out of memory precisely because of the problem described on the Einstein@Home front page, which Xavier Siemens is currently fixing.

One of the interesting features of our work is that the methods that we use to analyze the data depend upon the features of the data. But until we have done the analysis, we often don't know what all of these salient features are. So these kinds of issues come as no surprise to us: our analysis is driven by the data and often needs tuning, fixing and refinement as we understand these features of the data.

Thank you again for helping us with the testing: I am optimistic that we'll have these problems under control soon.

Cheers,
Bruce

makes me curious whether HT is really an advantage for E@H ...
BTW, what's the clock of your P4?
