Your Linux server is fine. With an APR of 6.1685501327024 for the current application, its statistics haven't been purturbed by short-running 'chaotic' tasks, and you run no danger of 'EXIT_TIME_LIMIT_EXCEEDED'. For your windows machine, I'd never suggest running tasks otherwise than the programmers intended. But the programmers intended the tasks to run to completion, and not to be prematurely terminated. You could have a look at your list of Tasks in progress for host 10308609, and selectively cull the jobs which are at risk of failure. Click on the number in the 'Workunit' column for each task in turn. The top one, WU 17293121 was completed by your wingmate in under three minutes - that's a keeper, it's safe to run. Towards the bottom of page 2 is WU 17279782: that one took 8 hours - too long for you with the server in its current state. I'd abort it and let someone else have a go. And so on down the list. When your wingmate hasn't reported yet, suspend the task and have another look tomorrow. |

As a possible quick fix I have set the fpops_bound to a 100 times the "normal" value. SixTrack never loops infinitely! :-) New WUs. as of now should have the new value. Have to work this out properly (tomorrow). Eric. |

That would kind of cool if someone did get a WU that looped forever! |

I think I should also stop and restart BOINC doing a "reset credit statistics" as suggested by Richard. I can't do that so will have to wait and be done carefully tomorrow. Eric. |
