Hi all,
I have a 2000 hour calculation running on high priority in my que. It says its deadline is March19th. Even running at 3.2Ghz, It would seem impossible to make that deadline with 240 hours to do it. The calculation is for calculating clean water. Should I abandon this project, or just let it run? Does this represent a BOINC server error? Is the task an error? I also just noticed that when I started this post, it was needing 1925:42:25 hours left to go, and now is at 1756:42:25. What is going on here? |

Let it run, it's clearly adapting the estimated runtime as it proceeds. This is common for tasks that have not run before (or change in app), nothing for you to worry about. PS. This is at least the 3rd thread on this matter, long estimated remaining time Really really long anticpated run times - (anticipated) |

I've got one for clean water as well. This happened earlier with HCC and has been reported to the techs. Looks like this bug is migrating.

Are you running other software or is this a dedicated cruncher? If dedicated, let it run as skgiven stated. Should adjust on it's own.

Not totally related, but pertinent to wild time estimates.. I have a machine running WCG all the time. It's a dual-processor Xeon (intel server board se7501br2) at 2.4ghz, running Ubuntu desktop 11.10, BOINC 6.12.33, and is usually counting up on remaining time for one or more tasks, sometimes all four, but almost never counts down on all four. It's more consistent with HPF, SN2S, and other seemingly "heavy" projects. It does complete work units eventually, but it's annoying that it does this. Could enabling multi-threading do this? It has no discrete GPU, so it's all in the CPUs on this one.

Hello JCMarsh [U.S. Army],
All the problems that we are running into are caused by the server code. The lone exception is a Mac PPC issue caused by an old kludge in boinc.exe that has suddenly been revealed by our updated server code. About all that we users can do is reduce the size of our buffers until the server is fixed. I am down to a buffer of 0 additional cache. Lawrence |
