Excessive work load.

(moderation:
I have 162 "Gravitational Wave S6 GC search 1.01 (SSE2)" files "Ready to start". I do not think that this machine can process them all by the deadline of 8/11/2011. I calculate that it will take ~ 43.5 days to process 162 files. How do I off load some of them?

Excessive work load.

Use the 'abort' option - I suppose the question becomes which ones ?

What machine? According to the computer list under the account that you post with, you haven't made contact with the project since March 2011. There's no 'other' account for jhauser either, although I am sure that "this machine" is running under another account than the one you post with.
For then it becomes the question, how machine CPU cores does it have?
Which BOINC version did this to you?
Which other projects are you attached to and do you have work from, for what deadline?
E.g. an i3-530 can do the SSE2 versions in 10 hours, on all 4 cores, without there being work for any other project, then it takes 4 days and a bit to run through all those tasks.

That would be roughly 16 days for ~ 160 workunits, right?

If you're only able to run your computer for 10 hours a day, and each workunit is multi-threaded and requires all the CPU cores you allow BOINC to use.
If, instead, each workunit uses only a single CPU core, divide your answer by 4 if you let BOINC use 4 CPU cores.
If you're able to let your computer run 24 hours a day, then divide your current estimate by 2 for a new rough estimate.
Or you could simply set all BOINC project your computer has enabled to no new tasks, then keep track of the number of its current tasks it finishes each day, until it's clear whether it's time to allow more workunits or time to abort some that haven't been started.

Einstein workunits are not multithreaded.

Yeah, must have been the inflamed molar that caused me to think that. It's out now (together with its neighbor), so I'm on painkillers and can think again. Somewhat. That would've been 160 hours in my example, not 160 tasks. Sorry. :-)
