[QUOTE=Bdot;319635]Don't let assignments expire. We don't have any pressure to finish them quickly (at least not anymore). You can still refuse to assign new tasks if aged assignments exist for the account.

I guess you have a pretty long exception list anyway. You could also put all long-time-contributors onto this list ...[/QUOTE]

Or push expiration dates up a "lot"

@chalsall: Oh, can you push up max assignments for DC LL? I reserve about ~300 at a time 68-69, and I have to do it thrice :smile:

Given that we are comfortably ahead of the wave, we could relax the GPU72 expiry limit to 60 days. Remember that regardless of how large the limit is it will always be possible for the exponents to expire and then be reassigned and completed by the original assignee.

GPU72 was originally designed to cater to dedicated participants who had fast GPUs and who would tinker with their worktodos manually on at least a weekly basis. The scope of the project has expanded immensely and it is now a mini-Primenet of sorts. But given that the urgency to catch up to the LL wave is gone, we could certainly go for a 60 day limit. Factoring to 73 also takes a lot more time than 71!

Agree with the 60 days. Seems like anyone that is established on GPU72 would be careful not to go over 30, but we all get busy... 60 would still allow them to expire if someone gets assignments and then doesn't work them or forgets about them, etc.

Or has a system go down. I lost my reporting system a few weeks back, and have not had the time to determine if it is a HD/MB/CPU/MEM problem as yet. The assignments from this system just started turning red and warning me they were about to expire, so I regenerated them and put them on a different system.

[QUOTE=chalsall;316664]Today is GPU72's first birthday!

One year ago today [URL="http://mersenneforum.org/showpost.php?p=276621&postcount=197"]I first made available the GPU to 72 Tool.[/URL] This came out of discussions based on Mr. P-1 coordinating GPU TF work with about a dozen "workers" manually. I volunteered to offer a semi-automated system to coordinate the work.

Silly me... I figured it would take about a week to build a system which would be "good enough".

Then, serious feature creep set in...

Then, some very serious firepower manifested...

And the rest is history! :smile:

A very good point. I have disabled the expiry script for the time being.

We still have the occasional situation where someone new shows up and reserves a few (or a hundred) assignments without completing a single one. I'll implement (when I have time) a new expiry script which takes this into account.
