I just got 3 new beta tasks all on Windows. In the past the Windows beta tasks were short and the Linux ones were all in excess of 40 hours except for the ones which never got past 0.05%. This batch of beta tasks for Windows looks like the long variety with progress listed as 1.5% to 2.5% per hour. They are the BETA_BETA30_9800030_0812 type.

iI have not received any Beta tasks at all, since 2025-04-26 0:25:17 UTC Those windows BETA_BETA30_9800029:xxxx tasks, were all long.
Two validated examples. The other two are still waiting for the wingman. https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/contribution/workunit/706400661 https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/contribution/workunit/706400355 |

Murphy struck me. Overnight the power went out. This morning, I restarted and the Beta tasks showed 100% and were ready to upload. They now show as errors and no credit granted. :(
----------------------------------------A lot of other MCM tasks got cancelled since they were now overdue because these Betas took so long.  |

They now show as errors and no credit granted. :( A lot of other MCM tasks got cancelled since they were now overdue because these Betas took so long. Sorry about that- unfortunate bit of luck! I have a task 9800022 that is stuck on 51.71% after 10 minutes, and it is stuck in this % for 45 hours now I have not seen any 9800022 work units come through our systems. That might be the typical behavior but based on what we have seen they seem to stick at 0.5% (and stay there), move really slowly to 100% (days), or move relatively quickly to 100% (a few hours). We have some BETA30_9800023 still in progress and then finishing up all of the BETA30_9800030 within the next few minutes. It "looks" like they are waiting for everything </= BETA30_9800030 to return before anything new comes though? Interested to see what happens when the new deadline passes. |

We have a series of 9800010 tasks that look to be almost impossible to process. They are progressing at 0.36%/hour on a dual xeon system (not terribly fast, but we paused all other work so definitely not a slow system). We went through and looked- only TWO of them have a wingman that created a result (pending validation). All of the others are still being processed by the wingman or aborted. So, if any of you have these... good luck!

The aforementioned tasks are actually finishing after nearly 11 days of processing (that made ARP1 tasks look easy). Some of their due dates were extended so most will be on time.
A few out of memory errors along the way, like other users. Is this a memory limitation set in BOINC or an error in the task its self that is requesting an unrealistically large amount of RAM? We are seeing a few resends but all is silent when it comes to new beta work. |

I believe it is the task itself which is requesting an inordinate amount of memory. My first thought is the task gets into a loop requesting memory and eventually will run until it exhausts all available memory. But it may be something different, such as the information it is working on has not been properly sized. Cheers
