I've recently switched my account over to N-Body acceptance instead of just the other (i've now switched it off again though).

One of the simulations has been stuck at 28.231%, using 12 CPUs (all threads available, basically), for now 11 and a half hours, with the remaining time going up and up the more it stalls at 28.231%.
Is this expected behaviour, or has it crashed? I believe this may have been why i disabled N-Body in the past too, as it was taking far too long, on all threads, starving other tasks and projects of CPU availability.

If it helps, I run the following setup
Windows 10 Pro
Intel i7-8700
2x GTX 1070
16GB RAM

I'm having this error too.

They start off with an estimated time of about 10 to 20 minutes, but when running, it quickly escalates to possibly 2-3 days.

Until this is resolved, i've now disabled N-Body from running on my 2 systems.
