This is nuts...look at the completion rate!
You'll have to read through the text to see what I mean.
Here is one out take:
2019-12-24 18:54:15 (2752): Status Report: Elapsed Time: '151302.555752'
2019-12-24 18:54:15 (2752): Status Report: CPU Time: '8.453125'
2019-12-24 20:34:21 (2752): Status Report: Elapsed Time: '157302.555752'
2019-12-24 20:34:21 (2752): Status Report: CPU Time: '8.484375'

.03 seconds of CPU time in 2 hrs? Whats going on?
In 30 seconds of real clock time the task moved only .00010%
This is absurd!
I'll let it run into Christmas day. But if it is not done by 8-9am its being aborted, which is a shame. But I do have other work waiting.
Also going to try a 4 core script that was mentioned in another thread I created. I am currently running 8 cores.

Notes:

Another VirtualBox management application has locked the session for
this VM. BOINC cannot properly monitor this VM
and so this job will be aborted.

**Task Aborted at 99.99350%* Run time in 8hr segments 1 day 20hrs etc.
Went from a estimated 14 seconds completion time to 10 seconds completion time and at a rate of .00010% every 30 seconds its going to take another day to complete which is nonsense.

You run too many tasks for not enough memory.
Reduce your tasks. For example only sixtrack (Prefs).
Atlas need more than 4 GByte RAM with only one CPU!
You have "only" 24 GByte and so many Atlas tasks running (Also Theory, sixtrack). This is not possible.
Test it with one Atlas task only. Yeti's Checklist is a good help.

Things are better now. Quit CPU FAH tasks. Left their GPU function in place.
I was also overheating my radiator even with the best fans.
I think FAH CPU was causing the troubles.
Things are better now that I quit that.
