Hi. One of the WU's on my system is running in the wrong direction and looks like it will never complete. The "To completion" is increasing and not decreasing as it would do normally. The "Elapsed" is increasing as it should. "To completion" has passed 93 hours now and will soon pass the 100 hour mark. What can be done here ? Ole |

The "to completion" is just an estimate based on the % complete and the elapsed time. It sounds like the task is not getting any CPU time. Can you verify in the task properties if the CPU time is increasing or not? Rosetta Moderator: Mod.Sense |

You are right, it has only gotten 29 seconds of CPU time so far and come to think of it I have seen 29 seconds before, days ago. The other task ( I have a dual CPU) is running fine and is increasing continously. Changing the Base Priority from Low to Above Normal , does not help. Any other actions I can try ? Ole |

There has been an ongoing rather rare thing where the BOINC Manager shows a task as "running", but the task thread doesn't seem to get CPU allocated to it. The only resolution that I know of is to completed exit and restart BOINC. The best time to do that would be when your other task has just reached a checkpoint (CPU seconds at last checkpoint is also shown in the task's properties). Rosetta Moderator: Mod.Sense |

Thanks. I think that solved the problem. I exited from the BOINC manager and restarted the boincmgr.exe. The values look normal now. Ole |
