On my machine (iMac 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 32 GB RAM, MacOS X 10.8.4) there is a job which is running but does not get over 99.690 %. In screensaver mode the CPU time "swings" between 1h 59' 27..." and 1h 59' 32...", i. e. whenever a CPU time of more than 1h 59' 31" is reached it "jumps" back to 1h 59' 27/28...". The estimated remaining time is shown to be between 17 and 19 seconds for days.

BOINC Manager v 7.0.65; wxWidgets v. 2.8.10

The BOINC Manager reports that it "considers" aborting it.

In order to avoid this job to be unsuccessfully calculated again and again on other machines it may be checked what is wrong with it.

have you tried suspending and unsuspending the task? that sometimes helps them become unstuck.

You'll need to link either the host or the WU in question - it's neigh to impossible to trawl the database for a WU name.

Aprt from that, the task as such is probably ok, usually it's the app geting stuck for some reason and not a feature of a particular task.

My windows machine had been running great for weeks until just recently. I had gotten a few AMD GPU tasks stuck in a manner similar to what you are describing. I had several in a 24 hour span, but have not had any since. Rebooting didn't necessarily seem to be a cure.

I'll agree with William however, when I suggest suspending and resuming the tasks. That is the only way I have found so far to get them "unstuck".

Granted, we are talking about two different platforms here, but the advice may still be of use.
