Stephen has stopped his Muon1 project. The main write-up of the project and its results are in Chapters 7 and 8 of his thesis. Nearly 90 million simulations were done.Therefore I stopped the workunit generation for Muon.

Oh no! Darn. There goes another App I still needed hours on!
Wow. Missed the notice on this one...
Just earned my gold badge status on Muon yesterday.
It looks like I will fall short of my 10,000 hours on the project as I only have 130 more Muon WUs left to crunch.
It will be close.

It will be close.In the past I've dropped mine down to 1/2 normal speed and they don't mind at all .... in fact they run much cooler.
How do you do that?DOWNCLOCK your CPU! Been there and done that
On my ASUS MB you can go into the BIOS settings at boot up and set the clock rate. It also has a after the fact (once Windows has started) SW utility to change OCing settings on the fly. Instead pushing the numbers higher you just set them way down. ie on the I7-3930Ks that I normally ran at 4.2G I have down clocked them to 2G so I could get hours when a project was ending and there were very few WU available.
Sounds like a plan.
My Asus MB has those controls.
I'm monitoring it a little bit.
I have 104 Wu's left to get 388 hours.
I set the app_config to run more muon, evolution and ecm Wu's than I have threads so that each one doesn't get a whole thread.
It seems to lengthen the time each one takes and sprinkling in the other non-muon WUs makes sure I'm not trading time for increased quantity therefore negating the effort on the muons.
I just have to keep an eye on the deadlines.
Does Muon checkpoint? If not, just keep restarting BOINC before they complete.
I tried stopping and starting Boinc manager ( actually I rebooted my machine while I was at it) and the muon and ecm WUs picked up where they left off.
The evolution WUs started over.
I'm guessing that the muons must checkpoint.
