Cancel a WU

[jamie.k.hofer]

I was just given a work unit I would like to not do because it is way to complex for my poor 980. How do I get a new WU.

you don't get wu's that are too complex for midrange hardware.

If you can't do it, something went wrong and we need to find out

what that is. But if you are talking about whacky estimates at

first PPD, TPF, ETA etc.. let the wu sit for abit and it will probably

sort itself out, otherwise update the thread.

 

You can't do something as elegant as cancelling it, but you  can

abruptly dump/trash/delete it, which we don't want to do unless

you have to.

I did settle itself! It was estimating several days to complete a WU.

And that`s why I say:

 

"Death to F@H, all hail BOINC!"...

 

.... and that fact that you can actually chose what do you use your pc for, instead of being forced to do whatever work they want you to.

? You can choose which subject you want to work on and it'll send you those WUs, you can pick between Cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or Huntington's. Stanford's position on certain aspects of F@H makes it benefit the researchers, who undoubtedly have some sort of deadline for getting research written up. Being able to easily delete a WU for petty point manipulation is just simply not in their best interests.
