Hi all, I don\'t if this is a FAQ, but here goes: Under \"Results\" I have several WUs listed, that are never going to be finished because of boinc problems, project resets, etc... I would like to have them retired, before the 1 year deadline runs out, so they can be redistributed. Regards Hans |

I have the same thing. Had a CPU and a motherboard blow out on me and caused much bad karma on this computer. Unfortunately there is no way to 'retire' a work unit. The admins can do it and I think they might at some point go through and re-send out any work units that haven't had a trickle in a couple weeks or something. But nothing you can do so just sit back and relax :) <br> ---------------------------- A member of <a href="team_display.php?teamid=45">The Knights Who Say Ni!</a> Yet another stats page: <a href="http://boinc-kwsn.no-ip.info">http://boinc-kwsn.no-ip.info</a> |

I've tried sending an email to CPDN, but that's over two weeks ago now, and I've got no reply at all, nor gotten my faulty work units deleted. |

There are checks in place to detect work units that are not trickling, but I've no idea how long it takes to error out one that didn't end with a client error. I'd guess that allowances have been built in for slow machines running CPDN with a relatively low resource share. Work units with client errors are definitely being recirculated. I had <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/workunit.php?wuid=209381">this one</a> error out a few weeks ago (due to stupidity on my part, I hasten to add) and it was pretty quickly rescheduled. It also seems that work units have been getting sent out to multiple hosts for 3 or 4 weeks. <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/workunit.php?wuid=254934">This WU</a> failed on 1 host but is processing successfully on 3, but <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/workunit.php?wuid=254362">this one</a> has failed on 3 hosts, with only 1 host processing it successfully. <br><a href="http://www.teampicard.net"><img src="http://www.teampicard.net/templates/fisubice/images/phpbb2_logo.jpg"></a><a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/team_display.php?teamid=3">Join us here</a> |
