I try to cancel any tasks reaching 99% completion mark as they usually end up as faulty but when I leave my rigs running unattended they simply waste time by occupying CPU unnecessarily. Can something be done to eliminate those faulty WUs? ID: 358 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

The only thing we can do (have done, will do) is increase the time limit for all WUs produced by the nanoHUB tools that have a lot of failures with the same error. For example, yesterday two tools produced most of the time limit errors (1% of all WUs), so we increased the time limit for all WUs produced by those tools. ID: 359 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Why not just set it to the same as the deadline and be done with it? Why is there an artificial limit that wastes resources? https://boinc.nanohub.org/nanoHUB_at_home/workunit.php?wuid=2369266 ID: 370 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
