    Hello All
    am I the only one that wishes the old standard sized WUs were back again ? I used to use them as a measure of the efficiency of my PC, but that seems to be over.

    We did put quite a bit of effort into trying to design our search so that all the workunits were the same length. It was too difficult.

      Hello, Dr. Allen, nice to see you here.
      I've been in hospital 2 weeks, out 4 days now, to find albert, and trying to unravel it's new ways.
      I've been reading up on the boards, and couldn't help but notice much consternation among contributors regarding the LF (short) WUs, and myriad suggestions to increase daily allotments. I generally disagree with increasing the dailies further, due to concerns about hogging, missing deadlines, and other abuses.
      I'd like to beg your opinion on this: is there any way to assign the short WUs to the slower hosts, or would that cause a new set of problems?


      Sorry to hear about your hospital stay.

      The 'short' WU represent a very small fraction of the total CPU time that will be needed for the 'albert' S4 search. I expect that within a short time we will have issued most or all of them, after which the complaints should cease.
