Good morning everybody,

I need your help because the crunching has very strongly slowed down on my computer, while I modified no parameter for a few days. It worked perfectly 1 week ago !

This concerns all the project I joined : WCG, poem@home, spinhenge@home, einstein@home, yoyo@home, µfluids, docking@home & rosetta@home.

For example, the cruching begins. The calculation time progresses in a apparently normal way. But in "properties", the "calculation time" is very low (e.g. 1 minute and 40 seconds while the running time is 45 minutes). As a consequence, the progression bar of the calculation does not almost increase. Moreover, when I restart a task, the calculation starts again at zero...

I'm about to be late for several WU such as Yoyo, Poem, Docking or µFluids...

Could someone help me please ?

Thanks you in advance,

Have a great day,

Jean-Philippe
