My Boinc 5.5.4 (Alpha version, rather unstable, yes i am an alpha tester) just requested work from Einstein.

2006-06-27 23:26:28 [Einstein@Home] Reason: To fetch work

2006-06-27 23:26:48 [Einstein@Home] Scheduler request succeeded

How many seconds? :-)

(According to my Windows calculator this comes out at: 134,175,267,219,640,043,125,317.09791984 years of work... )

Suffice to say, if I had gotten it, I would be crunching Einstein alone. ;-)
And all that on a connect to of 0.5 days. Marvellous stuff this, computers.

Well, you do call yourself ageless, right?? :).

Cheers,

That is an awfully big number! :-)
A fairly liberal data type chosen there, and probably no bounds checking.
Cheers, Mike.

I have made this letter longer than usual because I lack the time to make it shorter ...

You can say that again. I got 9 slices of my big H1 result, all of which take around 13 hours to crunch. Also on that 0.5 day cache. So of course I am running in EDF mode.

...after that time, you will know the results of colliding black holes and neutron stars...

...after using akosf optimized S4 app, your '' (within client_state.xml) should have been dropped to something between 0.15 and 0.2 ...
And with this factor and the official S5 app BOINC client is requesting much to many WUs...

Nice try. :-)

But my DCF is at this moment at:
Result duration correction factor 0.895798

Around the time I got work it was at 1. A reset or two in BOINC will do that to you. :-)
