Is it just me, or are the completion times 10X longer. Previous v64boince WU had a completion time of around 10 hrs. The latest, since project restart, with 3.75 hrs done, indicates 100 hrs to completion. Questions? Answers are in the BOINC Wiki. Boinc V6.10.56 Recommended WinXP C2D 2.1G 3GB |

The workunits here vary in length. The 2 most common sized workunits are 100,000 turn and 1,000,000 turn. So most likely you mostly got 100k workunits before and got your first million turn unit this time. BOINC WIKI   BOINCing since 2002/12/8 |

Personally I think your WU has just hung up Aurora, I haven't seen any that take longer than before ... |

Ok, the WU has just resumed. For every time update (5 sec.) completion time is decreasing by ~ 10 min. The original guesstimate must have been way off and it is slowly adjusting itself. Using Boinc 4.26 Questions? Answers are in the BOINC Wiki. Boinc V6.10.56 Recommended WinXP C2D 2.1G 3GB |

Yes, the best thing to do when you see a WU like that is to Exit the BOINC GUI and Restart it again, 99% of the time the Completion time will drop rapidly then. If not then I would Abort the WU if your running 1 one the newer clients (4.20 & up) or go into the BOINC Folder & look in the Projects Folder for that particular # WU and delete it (Exit the BOINC GUI First) then restart the BOINC GUI again and it should show a Computation Error for that WU & move onto the next WU then ... Update the Project and the WU should be gone from the BOINC GUI then ... |

The visualisation on these WU's gives you a good idea of how it's progressing. The number of turns completed out of the total to be done lets you work out the percentage done. This should correspond to the percentage shown in the BOINC GUI. HTH, Alan |

Windows 98 has a problem with suspending the cpu time counter for the suspended projects. Therefore the expected completion time increases while the wu is suspended if you are crunching other project wu's at the same time. Paul (S@H1 8888)  BOINC/SAH BETA

You get two WU appearing to be processed at the same time if you select the option of leaving certain projects in memory when switching project. This can cause some extremely processing numbers. The problem I had was that Boinc estimated an extremely long completion time, more than 100 hours. With 6.5 hrs done, it's still estimating another 16 hrs. My guess is the actual time will be a total of approx. 14 to 16 hrs. Questions? Answers are in the BOINC Wiki. Boinc V6.10.56 Recommended WinXP C2D 2.1G 3GB |

If you also run Einstein you'll notice that this bug doesn't occur with Einstein. Removing from memory will fix it for Seti and LHC. hope this helps tony Formerly mmciastro.
