Hi,

I'm running BOINC on two hosts:

  • Host 1 is a domain controller and is running BOINC 5.8.16 as a service.
  • Host 2 is not a domain controller and is running BOINC 6.6.20 as a non-service application.


I use BOINC manager on Host 2 to check the status of BOINC running on host 1 as well.

Since I upgraded Host 2 to BOINC 6.6.20 the "elapsed time" entry of each WU on host 1 is empty.
Elapsed time for WUs on host 2 is shown as well as time "To completion" on both hosts.

Not a real problem, but wanted to let you know.

Bye

That is because 5.8.16 shows CPU-time, different from 6.6.20's elapsed time (wall clock time). It changed "recently", but I don't know exactly which version.

You should (might?) be able to highlight a task, then click the "Properties"-button on left side and CPU-time should show there...

It was fixed in v6.6.21:

Changes for 6.6.21

- GUI RPC: client side: if parse a RESULT and CPU is nonzero but elapsed time is zero, we must be talking to an old client; set elapsed = CPU

v6.6.21 was supposed to be the released version, but something went wrong with the deployment and they dropped back to v6.6.20 rather than fix it.

Either they only fixed it for finished tasks or something has changed again. Using 6.6.28 to connect remotely to 5.10.45 elapsed time is empty on running and waiting to run tasks, but shows cpu time for finished tasks...
