Hi !

It seems that the task my computer is crunching come back to 0% each time I turn off the computer. Is that possible?

The "Due date" was 09/09/12, and it's still there :(

Can I delete it?


Thank you :)

If the task does not checkpoint due to long running models, it is possible. Hibernate your computer insted of shuting down, change your preferences to run BOINC always and not only "when not in use" and "leave applications in memory when suspended".

I don't want to let my computer computing all night long.
It's a task that requires 6 hours of computing, and it really seems that it goes back to 0% when i shut down my computer.

And "leave applications in memory when suspended" is on.

I don't want to let my computer computing all night long.

Don't need to, as I said in my previous post, hibernate it instead of shuting down.

Since that task has already past it's expiration date, you should probably just go to the tasks tab, select that one, and click the "abort" button. So yes, you can delete it.

Yes, it's possible if your BOINC Manager is not aborting work that has passed expiration. I don't recall which BOINC versions brought in some better handling of expiration date. And yes, it's possible the machine was not on long enough to reach a point where the work can be written to disk. Most tasks reach such checkpoints several times an hour, but some do not.

Oh, I checked now, the task isn't even anymore in his task list, so he definitely should delete it, no idea to spend any CPU-cycles on that.

Ok, thank you :)

As I notice, the new task do the same, come back to 0% if I stop my computer.

I imagine a lot of people have the same problem as me and never finish any task on Rosetta if they don't know how to hibernate their computer :(

As I mentioned, most tasks reach such checkpoints several times an hour, but some do not. You are describing a behavior that only applies to a fraction of the work units issued. The Project Team always strives to make frequent checkpoints, but when new techniques are being studied it is uncertain if they will be used much in the future. It depends on review of some initial results first. If the results look like the new technique is useful, and like it will be used again, then additional effort is invested in to making more frequent and consistent checkpoints.

What is your setting for "Write to disk at most every ... seconds"?

You can also post your complete settings from here (if you use local preferences on your computer, copy the values from there), maybe there's something, that can be optimized.
