What about a task that continues running, never ending? One that goes to e.g. 1000% and still continues to go? Or one that has been running for several days, while others like it run for minutes or hours? You want these to continue running? What if that happens on a system where the user doesn't look in BOINC every day? Then it can easily happen that one or more tasks stay on the system until after the deadline and only then may BOINC kill it/them in your view. So that's what the TIME_EXCEEDED kill is for. When a task takes more fpops then given in the <rsc_fpops_est> value, kill it as else it may be a runaway process. -- -- Jord van der Elst. _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
