With the recent release of 4.82 how long should it take to get to 1% with this style of wu -> PRODUCTION_ABINITIO_INCREASECYCLES50_1tul__312_1645. I had some initial wu's that were quite quick, but I have seen a change.

My 3.2GHz HT machine is currently over 1hr and still at 1%.

I also have the same style of wu on the same machine at 53.22% (BOINC had been stopped and started so this looks like a checkpoint) and it is at over 5hrs cpu time. The %complete also did not increase while the cpu time was increasing once I restarted BOINC (thanks windows updates - grr).

I am also seeing the total memory usage (real and virtual) hitting 1.2GB with 2 wu's running and at around 700MB with 1 wu running. Is this also "normal"?

I have suspended Rosetta for the moment.

Live long and crunch.

One more thing to add to Moderator9's excellent reply. Some of the "PRODUCTION_ABINITIO_INCREASECYCLES50" jobs take *much* longer than others, potentially up to 8 hours to get the first structure, and it looks like The Gas Giant got one of those. We understand that these can cause some concern! Because we've received nearly enough information back for those runs, we're planning to not queue any more of those jobs. And we're planning to make sure that each future job takes less time, so that the progress won't seem stuck at 1%, because several jobs will be carried out in 8 hours.

Many thanks for the reply. I now feel more comfortable and will hit resume as soon as I get home in a couple of hours.

Paul.
