Hello all,
I was looking through other posts to see if anyone had mentioned anything about this but is it just me or are everyone's All Sky tasks taking hours to complete? Even on my most powerful GPU a 3060 Ti it seems to slow down significantly once it reaches about 80% and actually sits on 100% for hours. Right now I have a task that is going on 6 hours and it has been on 100% probably for about 4 of the 6 hours. My less powerful GPU's stop at around 84%. Is this something everyone is encountering or do I have a problem?

The O3AS search is a relatively new search that has an announcement thread in Tech News. The best place to see if others are having any problems is that thread. For example, this message and the one that immediately follows points out the very large VRAM requirements to run these tasks successfully. Your computer shows as having 4GB GPUs which may work at times but often give problems due to lack of memory.
Your tasks list shows several successful tasks (completed and validated), others that were aborted, but none that took "hours to complete". I don't have GPUs with more than 4GB so I haven't tried to run this search. Try reading the experience of others from the above link and the following discussion.
Cheers,
Gary.

You may want to check your "Stderr output" for your completed tasks. I found this in your 3060 Ti's task:
I'm unsure what this means, but I would think that it is a clue as to why your GPU tasks are taking so long to finish with the CPU portion of the tasks. I am sure that someone else can help you though. I would take a guess, but I would rather not.

My RTX 3060 (not TI) with a Ryzen 3 3100 CPU does the job in just under a half hour when running one at a time. It should not take hours.
