Long running tasks

Posted 17 Nov 2022 by Ruud van der Kroef Post: There really is something wrong with these tasks (at least if run on a CPU, they seem to run fine on a GPU). Today I aborted a number of tasks that did not show much progress (<1%) after more than an hour. Right now I am at my computer(s), and noticed one task starts, progress goes to 0.288%, and sits there, even after 13 minutes. While I am watching this, I see a task on the same system, that runs for about 7 hours, and progress is at about 65%, suddenly fall back to 0.212% and keeps sitting there. Very weird. Time to abort these too. |

Posted 8 Nov 2022 by Ruud van der Kroef Post: What I was afraid of, happened today: one of the tasks - https://sech.me/boinc/Amicable/workunit.php?wuid=22422555 - exceeded its deadline and the task was given to another machine, which finished it in a flash. The above mentioned task has finished, and has been marked: Completed, too late to validate. OK, that was to be expected. Next I aborted all tasks that I had put on hold. Earlier I mentioned 7, but it turned out to be 12 tasks. Lost about 1000 hours of processing time; not very nice. I looked at the aborted tasks, and the ones that have been processed by a wingman and granted credit, all have run on a GPU. So, that does not seem to be a problem. Things look to be good now, as Sygopet mentioned. What we have to do now, is keep a close eye on these tasks, and watch progress and time remaining. |

That will probably mean, that I won't get any credit after I finished the task. It is running for 130h now, and will need another day. I have a total of 7 tasks, which will run from 6 to 8 days, and will certainly finish after the deadline. I will keep the above mentioned task running, and let it finish to see what happens. The other tasks have been put on hold. |

Posted 3 Nov 2022 by Ruud van der Kroef Post: In the (recent) past I had tasks, that ran from 4 to 12 hours, also depending on the type of CPU. Now I have a number of tasks that will run for a week or more. Is this new? And will the amount of credit be adjusted accordingly? Regards, Ruud |
