1) Message boards : Number crunching : Longer tasks providing poor granted credit? (Message 56891) Posted 13 Nov 2008 by sswilson Post: Is that the way to go? I posted some guidelines here. And I posted some information about tasks that "bog down" as you say here. Thanks for the response, but I'm still not sure (other than report them) what you folks would like us to do about them..... Should we let them try to run all the way through (best guess would be +50% time to complete the final 5% of the run), or will it serve the same purpose for us to abort it once it gets into the .010% / 5 min phase?

(Message 56867) Posted 12 Nov 2008 by sswilson Post: Wish we could get a definitive answer to these issues from a mod/admin. So far it looks like the tasks run fine up to around 95%, but then bog down. My normal run time is 3 hours so anything over 4 hours I've been aborting and carrying on. (I've stopped arbitrarily aborting them before they start). Is that the way to go?
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Report long-running models here (Message 56789) Posted 9 Nov 2008 by sswilson Post: BTW.... If this is an ongoing issue, this thread should be sticked so that folks know it exists. I only came across it accidentally through a link from another thread.

(Message 56788) Posted 9 Nov 2008 by sswilson Post: I've found this thread... http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/forum_thread.php?id=4375 and reported the long running tasks I've had. If you have a look they are all from the same group, so I'm just going to start aborting any of those tasks which show up.

6) Message boards : Number crunching : Longer tasks providing poor granted credit? (Message 56785) Posted 9 Nov 2008 by sswilson Post: I've had several tasks over the last 24 hours which are taking more than twice as long to complete (25,000+ vice 10,000) yet are providing very poor granted credit. (152 claimed / 51 granted, 197.16 claimed / 16.75 granted, 244.54 claimed / 80.00 granted ). All of the tasks are reported as being completed sucessfully but I'm wondering if I should be looking at my overclock. System is a Q6600 @ 3750 with 4G memory running Windows XP (fully updated). Computer can be seen here.... http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/results.php?hostid=826115 Anybody else having these kinds of issues?
