I woke up the other day to a bunch of idle computers as I tend to focus on cancer research work.

Turns out there is an update in progress which is affecting the Help Conquer Cancer work units and WCG isn't sending any out for about a week.

If you don't have any other projects selected at WCG this means your PC will be idle.




As posted on the WCG forum.........

Greetings all,

We are going to be updating the application version of Help Conquer Cancer to version 6.42. This will require us to run the project down to no results before releasing the new application. What this means is that over the next week, members will notice that work for this application will decrease until all the active batches have complete. Within the next 36-48 hours there should be new work for all to catch. After this only resends will be sent out. Once this happens will will start to over schedule to help clear the work units faster. In about 1 week we will be able to start the new application up and have work units available to all members. We will try to keep members posted on the progress of this change.

Please note that your computer may go idle if you only have Help Conquer Cancer selected as your only project.
