Seti Estimated Completion time squiffy

Biffa · 27 Jun 2008 at 00:33

One of my machines is showing wierd estimated completion times for WUs in both BoincView and Boinc itself. The real completion time is right but its showing hours (sometimes days) longer as an estimate.

Nothings changed on the box, its a dedicated cruncher and usually is my highest producer.

Any ideas?

See if it settles down after a week. Could be anything from new WUs to a database problem on their server.

Hard to tell if its causing an issue with results or scores, my output is down about 3K at the mo, but climbing again.

Maybe it thinks you have a PII? :confused:

Try running the benchmarks again from Advanced>run CPU benchmarks

EDIT: Just checked my own queue and it's showing Seti 5.27 as the app. This says to me that 5.28 is a new release and B0rkley haven't debugged it all the way yet. Or is it the Linux/optimised app?

First thing I did was run the benchmarks.

Its an optimised app, I'm running it on my other boxes with no issue. It just went wierd on that box for some reason.
