Round 18.5 million secs, or around 215 CPU-days. I've tried to reset the project, no luck. Rosetta shares the resources with other projects like this: Rosetta - 30 Einstein - 20 QMC - 10 mFluids - 4 As you can see on my stats below Rosetta is no where near having a 215 day-debt to pay off. Any thoughts on this? ID: 29301 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

An alternative but tougher way is to edit your client_state.xml file and look for lines that contain <long_term_debt>xxxxx.xxxxx</long_term_debt> You can reset the numbers in those lines to 0. You need to stop BOINC before you do this though and there is a chance of messing up the file, so you may want to have a backup. ID: 29302 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I.E they all add up to zero. If you only changed one, itmight explain it. there is an LTD for each one. That's why BoincDV is good, it resets them all ID: 29308 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Guess it must have been it that screwed the scheduler around. ID: 29312 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

However, it will float with respect to the others. In newer boinc versions a setting "no new work" won't accumulate debt if the project has NO work, but will if it does. (I think I got this right). There have been reports of MASSIVE requests for work, and I'm just wondering???? ID: 29314 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Try setting it to about the median of the other projects (which should be moderately large negative numbers. I have seen the jump before, but I cannot seem to figure out where it could be going wrong. BOINC WIKI ID: 29728 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
