Don't know if it is the right place where to report this problem, but my BOINC client has got problems with the elaboration of SETI@Home v8 8.12 (opencl_nvidia_SoG) workunits: the elaboration of those workunits usually stops at about 33% -35%. While standard SETI@Home v8 8.12 workunits are elaborated without crashes/problems.

Version of the BOINC client: 7.6.22 (x64)
Version of the wxWidget: 3.0.1
Version of SETI@home: SETI@Home v8 8.12
Version of ORACLE VirtualBox: 5.1.2r108956
I would appreciate if someone could give me a hint to resolve this problem, or if can tell me where I can report it in a way that it can be fixed (I think is kinda bug).

Sorry for my bad english,
Enrico

Problems with Seti's science applications are best reported in the Seti Number Crunching forum.
Instead of 'elaboration' use 'work' when describing it.

If you feel it's still a BOINC scheduling problem, thatg's possible when you have a lot of work in cache. Because BOINC tries to get all work in by their deadline, it'll run parts of tasks to see if it can finish them before their deadline, and when it finds it can, it part runs them before stopping to go to the next task. That's probably what you're seeing.

But report any problems with the SoG app at Seti, it's their app.
