	Hello! I'm trying to sort out a thing I'm seeing. I have many tasks that claim to only take ~2 minutes. In reality they seem to take 5-6 hours. I haven't see how the estimate is calculated but I suspect something is off there. The trouble is that BOINC (projects?) thinks 2 minutes is accurate and will pull in work based on that estimate. I'm sitting at 62 WU from SRBase that are due by the end of the week and if they all take 5+ hours to complete there is no way they are getting done by the deadline. All the tasks are: TF 0.43 (cuda120) TF_75-76_183-241M_wu_XXXXXXX. I'm not experiencing this with other BOINC projects. Nor with other WU from SRBase.

	The BOINC server needs some results get back to calculate the correct estimated runtime.

	well umm I have 12 results so far for this specific application. I'm not sure what I should do here.

	What I'm confused about is why this specific project has me doing things that I don't need to do for other ones? :shurg:

Take a look into your estimated runtime, the deadline for a WU is 5d.

	Trouble is that while deadline is 5 days; BOINC thinks it'll only take 2 minutes and pulls a lot more work than can be completed. :shrug:

	Why are TSC single core CPU with T4 GPU not getting any GPU tasks? eg TSC-26967 ID: 237046

	I have sent a PM on Discord to Rytis requesting this information but I think (1) it is 12:07pm, and, (2) he is travelling - query in Cyprus on vacation.
