I just checked, the CPU are running at 2GHz and very well, many others WU's was chunched in the second processor during all of this time, including two others from AC@H that was returned at average time of 8,2 hours. Follow the status of others related WUs from my results status:

I think that this WU have problems. I hate abort anyone, but I don't have sure if this huge work will be compensed... once is a old WU (25o. cycle, I would like to listen from techs if this WU was distributed before and maybe aborted...). Hard decision just give up from 90 hours of work... Regards and thanks Sek.

Suspend the job GIBA and continue with others. The ach1_25_xx is quite new and seeing a number with 5-6 hours computing time, it seems like it is client related.
----------------------------------------This sample: 71.46 1,252.1 is not going to be getting the credit if valid when all the other are claiming in the 70-90 range.

Yep, I would definetely suspend it at least at this point going by what the other Pc's are running it for. As like was said, either they were finished around the 5 to 8 hour mark by some, or went to over 70+ by another, either way they errored out. Best to cut your time losses when you can, although losing that much time really is sad.
I in the future would keep an eye on any others you may (Hopefully) get and if they go over the 10 hour mark, really keep an eye out on it happening again. The only problem now with having it sit there suspended, is that it will probably keep you from getting another ACH work unit until its been aborted and sent back.  As far as the High Priority status for the client, thats typical for any project being run that is fast approaching its deadline date, so it will usually ignore the time swaps with other projects and stay focused on that particular one until its done.  Good Luck! G^R |

Thanks GR.
----------------------------------------It was one of my first AC@H WU's and as beginner in this project, and reading some threads talking about huge WU's and hard work to complete this modeling...and additionally observing that the WU are progressing (slowly is true), my first feeling was keep quiet and Carpem Diem... now I know that for future WU's in AC@H, I need have more attention... Anyway, I expect that techs take a look at that WU and fix it for next coleagues here have the opportunity to running a fair one... Regards. Giba.

Just to reference post:
----------------------------------------I just checked and all WU's related with it finished in error or with some kind of problem... really I expect that the time invested by all ten crunchers have any value for scientistis or techs... regards.

Some 'error' results have changed status after a second validation pass. Presume a new set of 10 was send out, but if the 'errors' exceed a certain number **, the WU is taken out of circulation for investigation.
----------------------------------------** Think for regular projects the number was 7, but with init sets of 10, that could be different.

Hi all,
----------------------------------------in the last hours happened a crazy thing here in one of my computers... I receive some AC@H WU's, and few minutes after, all of then and more one WU (ach1 25_15-3) that are running almost around final work, was automatically returned for WCG as error. See below: ============================================== Result Name Device Name Status Sent Time Time Due / Return Time CPU Time (hours) Claimed/ Granted BOINC Credit ach1_ 27_ 53_ 8-- GIBAT61 Error 03/31/2008 08:28:44 03/31/2008 08:37:33 0.00 0.0 / 0.0 ach1_ 27_ 8_ 0-- GIBAT61 Error 03/31/2008 08:27:27 03/31/2008 08:37:33 0.00 0.0 / 0.0 ach1_ 27_ 77_ 5-- GIBAT61 Error 03/31/2008 08:27:27 03/31/2008 08:37:33 0.00 0.0 / 0.0 ach1_ 27_ 75_ 7-- GIBAT61 Error 03/31/2008 08:27:27 03/31/2008 08:37:33 0.00 0.0 / 0.0 ach1_ 27_ 6_ 9-- GIBAT61 Error 03/31/2008 08:27:27 03/31/2008 08:37:33 0.00 0.0 / 0.0 ach1_ 27_ 5_ 8-- GIBAT61 Error 03/31/2008 08:27:26 03/31/2008 08:37:33 0.00 0.0 / 0.0 ach1_ 25_ 15_ 3-- GIBAT61 Error 03/31/2008 01:48:27 03/31/2008 08:37:33 0.00 0.0 / 0.0 ============================================== Nothing happened in my infrastructure here, and some others WU's in read to start status, from DDDT and FAAH are returned together with this AC@H ones, in this machine. I don't know what happens, but verified some of this WU's status for others WU's mates, and happened the same problem (returned as error few minutes after downloaded...). Rgds. Giba.

Anything in the BOINC message log? WCG can remotely cancel redundant work if it appears they are not needed or have e.g a known error.
