on the 23rd I had an enormous incoming Wu for HPF2 which was estimated to take aprox 45 hours to complete on my computer which has Intel dual E8650 3Mhz under the hood.
23-Mar-2009 17:50:11 [World Community Grid] Starting mh743_00060_9 the strange thing happens: the WU is aborted due to cpu time limitation 25-Mar-2009 16:43:47 [World Community Grid] Aborting task mh743_00060_9: exceeded CPU time limit 138399.108939 25-Mar-2009 16:43:52 [World Community Grid] Computation for task mh743_00060_9 finished the result log : Result Log <core_client_version>6.2.28</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <message> Maximum CPU time exceeded </message> ]]> I get no credit for all the cpu time used to reach this maximum value. What limit is this? |

Hi,
----------------------------------------Fear you had one of these endless looping HPF2 tasks i.e. eating CPU time but from some point making no progress (%). If this was seen a simple BOINC restart would have let it complete near 100% sure. Since it was not, the job ran through to it's maximum allowed cycles which is Anyway, look in the Result Status page Result Log and also the quorum detail. Latter will tell you if others had a problem with your task, but doubt it. As for the estimated run time, was that before it started? BOINC occasionally gets completely confused and gives bogus ruin times many times greater than should. Credit, I've got to disappoint you. Error results only by great exception get a grant. edit: correct HPF2 time out factor

The 45 hour estimated runtime was my estimate after a run time of 20 hours and 25 left to completion. At that point the progress bar was aprox. 26%

jgis,
----------------------------------------I hope that you be more lucky than me. Until now, I pick 3 of this bad WU's. In my case, after try all under my hands to solve the issue of progress, need abort all, and got the real sensation of waste a lot of hours on that. Take a look at your WU's after restart BOPINC, but take a detailed look at the other replicas of this WU's too, once you can get some information about what happens with other coleagues crunching similar WU's like you are. Anyway, good look for you.  
Cheers ! GIB@

The line missing in your wiki, Didactylos, is that any amending of the X factor should be done under guidance of the WCG techs. At any rate, this should be reported, so corrective action at the server side can be taken.
----------------------------------------A backup should be taken of the client_state.xml. If corrupted, all it's lost. Also, as I said, the factor for HPF2 is For the looping of HPF2, no changing is required, just a client restart, an FAQ existing how to do this without need to exit client. Edit: HPF2 has a time out factor of 8.
