Hi, My manager is calculating a task for collatz conjecture since 2 days. Estimated finish time is 10 days 15h and deadline is before the estimated finish. It would be cool to add a column with "Estimated finish" also you can see if the task is finishable or not. And why the deadline is so close ? My computer will never finish this task also I cancelled it. Thank you for any help. AW |

The short deadline is down to the project (Collatz) and there is nothing that BOINC can do about that. As to your other question, in the advanced view there is a column which shows what you are asking for, it's called "Remaining" (or at least in BOINC 7.16.11 on Windows). |

Yes I know my idea was to have a column displaying the estimating end date (so you don't have to calculate now + remaining) Sorry for my english if it's not very clear it's not my main language |

I see what you are asking, however there is one problem that I can see. BOINC does not know how many hours a day an individual computer is going to run for in the future. While the computer may have been running for 24 hours a day in the past the user may turn it off for several days and thus the prediction would be very wrong, whereas the user probably has a reasonable idea of what they are going to be doing over the next few days. |

Oh OK yes I understand what you mean. For me it was just a little calculation like Estimated remaining time + Current time. |
