1) Message boards : Number crunching : how long can "long tasks" be? (Message 1958) Posted 29 Jan 2023 by doug Post: Could you please add at least a day or two for user ID 8110? It's been running for days, was due the 24th and still says it has around 8.5 hours left. I just restarted BOINC for the second time since it's been running. Thanks. Doug
2) Message boards : Number crunching : how long can "long tasks" be? (Message 1809) Posted 15 Jan 2023 by doug Post: Hi all, How long can the tasks with "long tasks 2.00" in the name take? They've been reasonably fast for me in the past (hours, not days), but now I have a couple that have been running for approx. 2.5 and 1+ days, and the first one says it has 5+ days left and the second one says it has 8.5 days left? BOINCTasks shows these two are running at 98% and 97.6% CPU%, so they at least haven't died. Does it make sense that I now have tasks that would be this long? If not, should I just kill them? Thanks. Doug
