    Do Atlas WUs ever end?

    I have a handful of Atlas WUs at 100%, using no CPU, and have been sitting there like this for a full day now. Should I let them finish, or abort them and write it off as a tax on crunching new projects?

    I abort after 2 days. But most are taking only 1/2 day now for me.

    Thanks - I just killed the ones that are right at two days. Time to work on other MMs...

    I have 4 running that are at 24 Hr's each, once they reach 25 Hr's for 100 Hr's total I'll abort them so I'll get another App @ Wu Prop at least. I won't bother running the Project again though ...

    The question now is: Can anyone get more than four tasks to run at a time? I have an 8 thread machine, 8 tasks downloaded, only 4 running, 4 idle threads.

    On two machines, I can't even get them to run - on the third machine, they run, but never end. On the one where they never ended, I would have six going at once, but that was a 6 AMD core machine with 6 threads.

    What is your setup that allows you to actually complete the WUs and get credit for them? Do you have some sort of VM installed?

    Atlas is like test4theory. The tasks run inside a VM. So you need to have vbox installed. You don't need to have a VM built or anything. It creates its own VM ad hoc.

    That's what I thought - thanks! I mean, with the plethora of information they have on the site...

    I upgraded to the most recent version of BOINC + VM software. Once I did this, I got Atlas WUs to complete (yay!). Though only four are running on an i7 8 thread/4 core Win7x64 machine, my other threads aren't idle; they're being used by Beal and BU.
