Result Deadline

From Unofficial BOINC Wiki

[edit] General

A point in time. As each Work Unit (or Result; depending on how you want to look at it, what the Data Server gives you are Work Unit Data Files and a Result, your computer processes the data files and you return the Result and the Result Data Files) is issued by the Project's Data Server this value will be established in the BOINC Database for that Project.

Keep in mind that Results that are returned after the Deadline has been passed may generate no Credit.

For the Projects that are currently in a production status, that is, they are actually performing the intended science even though the Science Application (or Science Applications in the case of Projects like the Predictor@Home Project) may still be in a Beta Testing status the current Deadline lengths are:

Project	Application	Deadline	Quorum
Climateprediction.net (CPDN)	hadsm3	347 Days, 5 Hours, and 20 Minutes	1
	Sulphur Cycle	150 Days, 5 Hours, and 20 Minutes	1
Einstein@Home	einstein	14 Days	3
LHC@Home	sixtrack	Variable, around 5 days	3

SIMAP@Home	simap	10 Days	2

One of the newer features of the BOINC Web Site Software is the color coding of the Deadline, where the date and time listed are shown in one of three colors:

• When the date and time is BLACK; the Deadline was not reached before the Result was returned, or
• When the date and time is GREEN (GREEN); the Deadline is in the future, or
• When the date and time is RED (RED); the Deadline is in the past
