Not sure what your specific CPU related elapsed time of _3 has anything to do with the time-span to return _1, which was cut off in 1.09 CPU hours. The equation stems from the number of FPOPS a task has in the header (it's a factor of FPOPS, something like factor 5 or 10). For your device that will have been 3.70 to hit the mark. VERY misleading! Especially when WCG's Results Status page uses CPU Time and Elapsed Time to mean quite different measurements.... 'Maximum elapsed time exceeded', is a little bit misleading. A generic term for both measuring CPU and GPU task limits, but it really is in the case of CPU tasks, meant to mean the max FPOPS done in CPU time as exceeded. |

I upped my CPU to 100% on my device driver, but still getting the restarts on the Beta WUs.

Win 7, 64bit, 12 GB, 7.0.64 These 'if this happens...' and 'exited with zero status...' have a Start Here FAQ discussing them. Generally the source is an overtaxed system [or something blocking... an overzealous security suite suspicious of whatever], but what IS causing the taxing? Viewed same, but only few times on my W7-64 Octo with 8GB during the v7.19 test and only the first 5 incurred this, together. Was meant to profile the disk IO with Process Explorer, but did not get round to doing this... no such error repeated here. |

Now that it's (way too early) morning, here's the update on the stuck Windows tasks. They all finished so the results are there for the techs to look into.
----------------------------------------None of my tasks restarted unless I stopped the service and restarted. They never lost CPU time, just completed %. Browsing over the returned results, they were approaching 12 hours CPU time. I know one of them in particular would repeatedly get to 75 % and just sit there for hours with both clocks incrementing. Yes, this is not the last beta. ![]() Distributed computing volunteer since September 27, 2000 |

And for another Windows system that I cannot monitor directly I see this:

I received 2, both on the same machine. They ran straight through with no issue, CPU time and elapsed time identical, and both validated.
