Hey Jean,
----------------------------------------I saw one last night take 24 hours and that was on my westmere rig. No biggie, just thought I'd bring it up. Really surprised me to see the time as thats a pretty decent machine. All it does is HCCC and it's dedicated, does nothing else..  |

I have one that will probably take 24-26hrs on a P4 2.8Ghz, and have had 2 previous WUs take about 18hrs on that machine.
----------------------------------------They seem to be running at around 6-8hrs on an older Celeron.... It's no big deal, and both machines are only running HFCC. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Nov 19, 2009 7:39:08 PM] |

HFCC_s1_00836404_s1_0000_0 is also a biggy. 16 hours crunched on it and 62% done!
----------------------------------------Several wu's recently have been "longer" without really raising my eyebrow. All seem to finish okay though, so no problem. <edit> Finished in 25 hours. No HT on that system. </edit> [Edit 1 times, last edit by adrianxw at Dec 2, 2009 7:45:58 PM] |

The longest I've seen myself on the quad, 64 bit OS / Client was well over 9.5 hours. The duo, on low hertz, did one of 16 hours.
----------------------------------------Though you know you know that they will finish, when not used to them they become little nail clippers... but BOINC and the science have safeties/checkpoints, so even if your e-co pulls the power, the science will in 99.9999% of the cases resume from the last saved progress point upon power-up.

My longest one on a 2.8GHz Celeron took a little over 42 hours.
----------------------------------------On my 2.66GHz Hyperthreaded i7 I've had some in the 16-17 hour range which is about 3 times what the "typical" WU takes. [Edit 1 times, last edit by smeyer55 at Dec 1, 2009 5:28:05 PM] |

Next time you see one, check the affinity. It's likely those are running on the virtual cores rather than the physical. Can't remember anyone posting this but suspect very wide ranges of runtimes on the HT machine, that is if W7 is not rotating the processes from one core to the next.

I've got 4 on two Xeon 5130 dual cores that are looking to come in around 21, 18, 24, and 20 hours. "Normal" times are 6-7 hours. Using XP 32 bit and no hyperthreading.

I also have been getting some monster sized Work Units.
One 2.4GHz Machine ran HFCC_s1_00838197_ s1_0001_ 0 for 50.31 hours I'm running another HFCC that originally said 37 hours but has now worked it's way down to 32 hours for completion on a P4 3.4Ghz machine. I think this is a bit excessive. |
