I have several computers running boinc applications. On Sunday, May 16, (two days ago) I noticed at least two of the computers "idling out". They were running Rosetta tasks that either “test” or “test2” embedded in the name and the cpu load on those cores dropped to zero and the percent completed was not increasing. I aborted one of the jobs if happens to be visible on my account. This happened on an XP machine and a Vista64 machine.

I apologize for the vague details. Any idea if this was a fluke specific to my setup or if there was a glitch in a recent application?

Thanks!

Gary

Sounds like a problem that some people have been seeing once and a while, not likely a problem on your machine. Most find they can suspend, and then resume the task (rather then abort) and it will kick in and complete normally.
