 I've got a task which says it will take 50 days (strange as a similar task is taking only 1 day on another core of the same CPU), but the deadline is only 11 days from now.  Is Universe@home like Primegrid in that it will send trickle up messages every day and allow the task to complete even if it's late?  Or should I abort?  Both tasks have the same predicted GFLOPS/sec and task size, so I'm not sure why one is going much slower.  |

 It's been on 2.015% since I posted the above 13 hours ago, I'l assume it's jammed and abort.  |

 sometimes the data update percentage freezes .... particularly when the task has been suspended to do other work .... running a cpu test in boinc can sometimes reset this problem..... yours Kindly Me http://esa-space.blogspot.com/ boinc optimization > http://esa-space.blogspot.rs/2017/04/boinc.html T/C/RNG/Entropy Drivers and sources > http://esa-space.blogspot.ru/2017/04/rng-and-random-web.html  |

 Well it had been running for 5 times longer than any other task took to complete, so I don't think it's just the % that froze.  It was never going to finish. Not getting other problems, so I don't think a test would help.  |

 I'm seeing Universe and another project (I forget which - I think it's Milkyway) getting stuck sometimes.  Both are in the process of trialling new code.  I'll try a manual pause/resume next time one sticks.  |
