On my Linux box I have a task at 99.996% still running after 96 hours. CPU usage is 170% and more. I keep it running because the two climateprediction.net tasks alongside it have a very extended deadline.

Short summary: the problem has been fixed but will take a few hours to propagate. If you keep the jobs running they will exit and you will get the credit.

Don't want to wait any longer. I killed 2 tasks almost running 1 day.

My current task is running since ~112h on my penguin, on two of its four cores, and it's at 100% since some time last night (CEST). The last few percentage points from 99.95 to 99.999 were getting slower and s.l.o..w..e...r and s...l....o....w......e........r :)

The data from Eigenschaften are:

Ablaufdatum: Di 04 Apr 2017 18:57:50 CEST

The WU is due in about 2h according to my BOINC, in a day according to the above linked WU-page. I'll probably keep it running for some time, but is there any estimate you could give me? And what will happen after either today or tomorrow 1657 UTC?

check Nr 16e from my checklist V3

Supporting BOINC, a great concept !

I checked (with a little bit of problem, been quite some time since I did something like it last), and now it just finished and gave me 6,130.31 credits. I can live with that ;)

this might even be some kind of record, I guess :-)

Same again, this time it looks as if it just used 1 core instead of 2, as the data from Eigenschaften are:

Ablaufdatum: S0 21 Apr 2017 02:06:02 CEST

Here are preliminary times (% vs. runtime):

80,306	07:30:08
86,452	09:15:51
98,761	20:36:38

100,000	59:27:53

100,000	69:36:15
100,000	73:39:01

100,000	82:58:11
100,000	89:42:34
100,000	98:41:13

I hope it will end as the other one with success and enough credits, I just wanted you to know.

I had 2 similar tasks this morning:
https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/result.php?resultid=140469886
https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/result.php?resultid=140056494
I went to check using Alt-F2 in the VM console and saw that the tasks were not processing any events, so I aborted both of them.
I suggest you try the same.

We are the product of random evolution.

New record ?

WU 67789777 ran for nearly 24hrs, was about to abort but it suddenly decided to be finished..
Nice score though; 7,214.07 pts.
In logfile no "hits" , so wonder if any scientific value for this one

good question

check Nr 16e from my checklist V3

I started the VM as an admin, and saw a stopped VM about the recent task. I started the VM and it obviously started just then, and now I'm at #17 from your checklist (after quite a lot of [ OK ] before).
I'll leave it open until it's done.

Klick into the console window and try ALT/F2

It should bring you a screen that shows progress of the running tasks
