'CPU Time' has been replaced with 'Elapsed' and shows the real time for CPU or CUDA.

It was replaced by an 'Elapsed' time column in BOINC v6.6.16

I think the developers intended this as a feature, but YMMV.

CPU time did not reflect the correct time for CUDA processed WU. Elapsed time give more accurate time of processing whether WU run on the CPU or the graphic card.

You can find CPU time under the properties tab in the left hand column.

I don't have an Elapsed time column either. It's beginning to look less like a feature and more like a bug.

Have you tried expanding the manager? I've read that some people have found columns 'hiding' under others, when using low res displays.

The order of the columns in the Tasks tabs are
Project - Application - Name - Elapsed - Progress - To completion - Report deadline - Status.
If a column is collapsed you can usually see the cursor single vertical bar (<-|->) become a double bar (<-||->) as the cursor is passed between columns at the location of a hidden column on the title row. When the cursor is double bar left click the mouse and drag the column open.

Thank you. When you install 6.6.36, the new column is collapsed by default. Maybe that should be adjusted.

Ahh, so that's how it's hidden: collapsing the columns.
Perhaps the presence of these columns could be flagged by changing the divider colour to red.

Berkeley is going to have to start a course on how BOINC works before much longer.

Not likely, they don't even have a good Wiki or decent search for the average users to find information. Commonly used word search generally brings up information on the server software rather then the user client.

And they also don't have a strictly-enforced policy about updating the documentation that exists in step with changes in released clients (even when new versions are made 'recommended' releases across all platforms).

I've had to make myself a Wiki account and do some of the corrections/clarifications myself.
