I still have work units in my buffer (queue). What is going to happen to them because of the updated SETI@Home Science Application?
Each Work Unit issued to you will be processed by a specific version of the SETI@Home Science Application. When those Work Units that you have already downloaded have been processed the obsolete SETI@Home Science Application will be removed. All new Work Units issued will be processed with the new SETI@Home Science Application. You will see the version of the SETI@Home Science Application that will be used to process all of the currently queued Work Units in the BOINC Manager’s Work Tab. The Project can also change the Work Units in your work buffer so that they will be processed by the new Science Application. This is to allow for the occasions where the old Science Application was returning bad Results and it should not be used any longer. Again, all of this is handled in a way that is transparent to the Participant.
