1) Message boards : Theory Application : New version v262.80 for Windows 64bit (Message 30018)

I presently have nine Theory Simulation 262.80 (vbox64) tasks that have postponed themselves with the same message given by others in this thread:

Postponed: VM job unmanageable, restarting later.

The run time prior to postponement varies wildly. The shortest was 14 seconds; the longest was 5 hours and 36 minutes.

All of them have an estimated completion time of at least 10 hours.

My biggest cruncher still repeatedly runs out of work despite the project page showing hundreds of thousands of sixtrack units available. As I type this, the aforementioned machine will need only about an hour, and certainly no more than two, to complete the tasks it possesses.

Requesting more work seldom produces additional downloads, and when it does, a few tasks trickle in. Ironically, the other two machines I employ for this project's benefit are far slower, so they seldom if ever seem to run out of work.

This pattern seems to persist for hours -- no work, idle machine, maybe a few tasks here and there -- and then suddenly the floodgates open and the task lists is full once again.

All of our contributions are charitable in nature and it is ungracious to complain that we cannot help because we cannot get work. But it is so much fun to rack up credit!

I too am having this problem. Recently my biggest cruncher managed to download a few tasks but they all completed in under two minutes and were uploaded back to the project.
