Seeing this again.... My home page stats hours https://wuprop.boinc-af.org/home.php are still showing task hours from several days ago counting as "last day hours", but the "last 24 hours hosts" hours page are correct. |

Appears the Home Page stats for "last day hours" has been fixed. Still showing hours of tasks that have not been run in days on my home page... example: PRIVATE GFN SERVER GFN-11 MEGA Prime Search 10,094.92 0.07 |

Not sure what is causing NEGATIVE HOURS on some sub-projects according to the Last 24 hours user activity page? *Could it be Database / delayed hours counting problems by server code? Here is one example from my page loaded a few minutes ago:

Is still NOT fixed. There are lots of things not fixed or actually breaking down more and more every day as it seems. |

Found MORE problems with hours calculations: All my PC's and Android devices are missing total hours on average 2 hours per core/thread short per 24 hour wall time. These two apps are just easy to discover examples. Each app has been running 24 hours wall time on 2 cores each for a total of what should be 48 hours each. 96 PrimeGrid Sierpinski/Riesel Base 5 Problem (LLR) 4,076.47 44.00 125 PrimeGrid Cullen (LLR) 2,572.80 44.00 Instead, as you can see above, they only received credit for 44 hours each. That's 4 hours each I did not receive credit for. Looking at WuProp completed tasks run times, upload and download times I can see some task run less than 3600 seconds, sometimes more, and then there's the upload/download time delays consuming a few seconds each. Maybe it's time we go back to 6 hour Runtimes on tasks so that the loss of calculated hours is minimized to a few minutes per calculated 24 hour wall time. |

Problem is still ongoing... ... Any chance to fix? PrimeGrid Sierpinski/Riesel Base 5 Problem (LLR). 4,374.27 44.00 Above two examples are running on 2 threads each and should be registering 48 cumulative computational hours. Each one missing 4 hours over 24 hours wall time reporting. Didn’t have the problem under previously run 6 hours tasks, only since project resumed under 1 hour tasks. |

There is nothing to fix. Counting hours runs correctly. Check your host activity, you'll see counting hours is OK. Last day count is an approximate computing. |

Using <report_results_immediately>1</report_results_immediately> would reduce the time between tasks https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Client_configuration |

Using <report_results_immediately>1</report_results_immediately> would reduce the time between tasks THAT IS ALREADY IN USE across all devices so it's something else. Looking at Run Time of reported task most run 3600 seconds, others run a little as aprox 3200 seconds and some more than 3600 seconds... if less they are being upload/download at aprox 3600 seconds. Example: Task 124639738 Sent 9 Jul 2022, 9:21:44 UTC Received 9 Jul 2022, 10:22:22 UTC Run time 54 min 31 sec Application version Data collect version 4 v4.29 (nci) |

There is nothing to fix. Counting hours runs correctly. So if I copy and paste the total numbers for a particular application into a spreadsheet every day am I'm getting the most accurate numbers possible at the moment of the webpage being generated? And is it as accurate as possible day after after day? |
