I have 3 cores I randomly choose to run. This one, downloaded 27 days ago, has 1.5 hrs left for the 1 million steps...
It occurred to me. No daily points. 44 minutes with two cores running for a gain of 10000, and 31 minutes with just one core going.
Is this an error? seems very intensive, and many hours...silently gaining no reward.
fahmon finds in all the other cores a "ppd" . 2150 project is identified as "unknown".
I did notice a stand still in daily acheivements, aside from the ati gpu gaining, this project is the silent working culprit.

Project 2150 is not on the psummary list at this time, but qdinfo.dat shows it to be worth 230 points.

Project since finished, and watching the outcome of the upload claimed 8 units finished, after doing 10.
At the fastest run on my "not exactly small pc" it was 33 minutes per 10000, at 100 iterations to get it done, that is 3300 minutes (theoretically- my average was in the 40 minute range overall)
so, to conclude *at least* 55hours if to run it straight out, all by itself at max speed...there is indeed something erroneous about the points tally so far. I have gained one work unit points for the 8 they counted... I suppose I can check back, maybe they check them individually and I need to wait? I have encountered that already.

Using your 33 min/frame, that WU was good for about 100 ppd for you.

there really is an error. Hello. Anybody out there. Repeat. there really is an error.

What is up with the 3 point update? what in heck is worth 3 points.
Meanwhile my vid card is almost 800 points a day. 100 for 55 hours straight on a 2800 mhz cpu is an error. A serious error darnit. Playing this "game" costs energy. I am wasting my time if no one thinks this is an error.

Seeing that there are no 3 point WUs, I would suppose that you must have experienced an E_U_E,
and you were awarded 3 points credit for the value of the work that was completed.

Have you checked your Fahlog(s)?

Do you have the configuration setting "Use IE Settings" set to Yes? It looks like you do. Please check and change it to No.

This goes on 33 more times.

Like Flathead74 said, it looks like you had an EUE on this one. Check your log.

I'm not sure what you mean by "3 cores" that you "randomly choose to run" From what I can see, you have two PCs -- probably with some type of P4 chips -- and probably with ATI video cards -- adding up to four "Active processors" shown in your stats. Are these HyperThreaded processors or multi-core versions?

Are you running more clients that these four? If so, why, and how are they configured.

What happened during those 27 days?
