The "task" means 1 pass during backresting back testing. When you start optimization in Strategy Tester using MQL5 Cloud Network agents you make 1 optimization with many tasks

Thanks Rosh, and do you know what is a unit ?
 

How is it possible to have the agent list updated in my profile? Or how long do I have to wait until it updates?

I installed some of this software as described but the list is still empty.

Oh, thanks. I am so glad it is missing from the page of the agent software...
 
This is a very helpful feature and it would be great if you also introduce it in mt4. If you enable mt4 you will make even 10 billion tasks as most developments are still in mt4. Even in jobs majority of the jobs are in mt4.

I changed my answer a bit.

The "unit" means some synthetic volume of consumed power - it is multiplication of agent power (PR - performance rating) at the time spent on the task.
