i´ve got jobs which should take 25 hours cpu time and longer. my cpu is at 60% and before i´ve got this jobs i had jobs with 9 hours etc. i don´t know what the problem is. i removed wcg from my computer and if i install it again i get the jobs with 25 hours and more again.

I suggest you let them finish. In the last month I had a WU that took over 200 hours and finished normally.

We all get those work units once in a while. When you let them run awhile, the estimated time will change. There has been problems rarely, so you don't need to worry about that. Although if you wish to skip that wu anyway, from Advanced view, you can find Abort task.

Boinc will settle down and let you start caching work units once you start returning more valid results, not aborted.
----------------------------------------One suggestion would be to run the Rice project. They run at a constant time. Don't know how much longer that project will be running before finishing though. Edit: I see you joined in December, which means you might be here for Clean Energy. Those are hit or miss for long duration times. If you get a lot of the Type A workunits they will probably be large jobs. If you get the Type B units, those are typically smaller.

Hello pembeli kiz,
BOINC has a local XML file that keeps the factors used to make guesstimates about how long a work unit takes. Let it run a work unit. If the work unit takes only 12 hours to run after it estimated 24 hours, it will adjust the factors and start estimating shorter times to run a work unit. If it never finishes a job, it will never change the estimates. Whenever we start a new project, the estimates go awry until the new project is well understood. Lawrence |

I have a CEP WU on a Pentium-4 3.2GHz (at 50% CPU usage with HyperThreading on) with an estimate to complete in 83 hours! It's currently processing two other WUs.
I'm not getting new jobs on that machine even with a cache set for 4 days. I'll let it run because I'm sure it won't take that many hours to complete. |

Hyperthreading and CEP and 50% CPU time permitted, or half the REAL single thread, concurrent with 2 other jobs... whoa, yes a few parms in the control file will develop inflated values, so yes just let it run and after, even it took less time, you'll be seeing warped caching and projected completion time behavior for a wee while, week or longer.
