Got a WU that's seems to be hung at a checkpoint. Sould I let it continue or do a suspend and computer reboot to see if progress continues?

I'm sorry, I can't really help you, but my problem may be linked to yours : yesterday, I thought it woas better to abort a WU because after 2 hours & 1/2, it was only 0.875% completed... which corresponds to 286 hours to achieve 100%...
Is it normal ? Is it due ton the weakness of my computer ? Thanks to all, and sorry to use this thread, but I wonder if the problems are linked... |

Switch off "Leave Application in Memory when preempted" in the preferences [if it's on], then:
----------------------------------------1. Suspend all "Ready to start" tasks. 2. Suspend the suspect task for 30 seconds and check in Task Manager it's unloaded from memory (the process wcg_dsfl_vina_6.19_windows_intelx86) 3. Resume the task, which will cause it to go back to last checkpoint and observe. 4. Resume the other suspended tasks. Let us know what happens. --//-- P.S. it's easier to monitor saved progress by activating the <checkpoint_debug> log flag in the cc_config.xml.

Let us know what happens. --//-- P.S. it's easier to monitor saved progress by activating the <checkpoint_debug> log flag in the cc_config.xml. Started your instructions. The elapsed time was 41:07:26 and progress 30%. Unchecked LAIM. Suspened the only task, opened Task Manager, sorted by username "boinc_*". No CPU activity for any boinc related process, I had CPU preference set to use 50% changed it to 100% and changed it back to 50%. Waited for about 1 minute, no boinc related process unloaded. What ever boinc process was originally there, stayed there. Resumed task, task elapsed time changed to 05:11:00 and progress stayed at 30%, status changed to "Waiting to run (waiting for GPU memory)". BOINC then downloaded a CEP2 WU and status for that went to "Running". This IBM R40 laptop has no GPU, boinc message "No usable GPUs found". This device is using the same device profile as 4 other of my devices that also don't have any GPUs. Have had no problem with them crunching DSFL tasks except a recent 195 error on one device. I suspended the CEP2 task, no change on the DSFL task. Rechecked LAIM, suspended DSFL task and resumed, no change on the status "Waiting to run ...". Did Activity Suspend, rebooted, did Activity Resume. The DSFL task status changed to "Running", elapsed time 05:10:55, progress 30.277%. I resumed the CEP2 task which status changed to "Waiting to run". Looks like all is happy again.  |

If this will be an ongoing problem with DSFL WUs on this IBM R40 laptop, I'll just have make sure not to include any more of this project. |

I have the same problem you had above. Is there now any reason/solution or why is it completed here?
My last WU was running 30 hrs and was counted only 15 hrs. It looks like my little old Win XP computer is loosing a lot of time... :-( |

Hello elRonaldo,
SekeRob's method is a gentle reboot for a single stuck task. It does almost as much as a reboot for the selected work unit, but without the loss of time for other work units. Being both lazy and suspicious, I usually reboot when I have strange behavior like this. It can happen in the best computers. Lawrence |

I had one on my laptop.
----------------------------------------Luckily I noticed it had stopped. After a laptop reboot, it continued. Patrick  |
