1) Questions and Answers : Windows : Some tasks stalling (Message 75306) Posted 9 Apr 2023 by Helldiver82 Post: I have the same problems since march, described in my thread "task is running infinite like in a loop" and now I see that somebody else has reported exactly the same on 24. January here :-( But still I dont have a solution I have an i5-760 with 4 Cores and a GTX 1070 and want to use all % which is not needed by my own activities, so what would you recommend to configure?
2) Questions and Answers : Windows : task is running infinite like in a loop (Message 75266) Posted 2 Apr 2023 by Helldiver82 Post: "The N-body tasks prefer to utilize all your cpu at all times. So if you are trying to run other cpu tasks or using your computer for other things at the same time, the tasks can stall out as you've noticed." This is not a clear answer to me. Of course I use the computer sometimes for other things like browsing, gaming and Office products etc. but that should only slow down / prolong the boinc tasks, and not bring them into a loop?!?! Because as I said, its not the case that its only slowed down, so that it f.e. takes 20 hours instead of 10 - NO it runs simply infinite... even when you stop all your activities, you simply watch on boinc... the remaining time is rising 1-2 seconds per second. I had this again now... so if nobody has a solution I will stop milkyway@home project.
3) Questions and Answers : Windows : task is running infinite like in a loop (Message 75160) Posted 16 Mar 2023 by Helldiver82 Post: Hello, for some weeks I run Milkyway@Home in my Boinc Client 7.16.11 (x64) under Windows 10. Some tasks of the Milkyway@Home Project stuck in a loop, meaning CPU is working on them, and the column for "remaning time" is constantly raising... it never gets finished. So if you don`t look every day, the computing time is thrown out. I had it 2 times now, my workaround was to stop and cancel this task, then I get new ones. Last example was from N-Body Simulation 1.82 (mtl) Name: de_nobody_02_272023_v182_pal5__data__1_1674667492_1074157_0 Do you have a solution? Otherwise I need to stop this project and work for other ones like Rosetta or WCG, because I will not check every day... 2nd question: Where can I see if my GPU is used? (Besides its load via some GPU monitoring tools like GPU-Z etc.) Thanks, Sebastian
