1) Message boards : Number crunching : Long running tasks (Message 1633) Posted 8 Nov 2022 by Sygopet Post: The recent problem of long-running units appears to have ended after a week or so, with units now completing satisfactorily. My "average work done" figure has taken a hit but is gradually recovering.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Long running tasks (Message 1631) Posted 5 Nov 2022 by Sygopet Post: Same here. Elderly computer and normal running is about 10 hours. One unit cancelled after 5% in 10 hours; current unit at 90% after 44 hours. Ruud - don't expect more credits: the 6,836.19 (where on earth did such a figure come from?!) seems to be hard-wired in the software. This unit still "running" after 65 hours. In truth it hasn't moved an inch from yesterday. Big waste of computer time and will now be given the chop.

5) Message boards : Number crunching : No new amicable pairs found in 200 WU's. Anyone else? (Message 1572) Posted 7 Dec 2021 by Sygopet Post: I have a fairly old (and slow) machine which has managed to find 880 pairs since 2017. But the last pair found is dated 2020 - none at all in 2021! I have been concerned for some while that, after regularly finding pairs at intervals of one or two days the whole process seems to be failing big time. Surely, I tell myself, the administrators must be aware (I'm evidently not the only one to see this) - or are they bothered at all? Is anyone finding pairs? Or are we all just wasting our time?
