1. UDmon is not supported by WCG.

2. HPF2 saves and per BOINC log, identical science to the UD agent version, does so on my machine about every 20-25 minutes (depends on how tough the attempt is):

What OS are you running and how are you closing your computer and restarting?

UDmon is supporting the WCG client for monitoring it...and works great! what you do have do is run it through the batch file...

and still it didn't save, and the UD has done 21% of the calc...last save has been when I rebooted the system, at 1800h CET!
so Seker, don't bother to explain that it doesn't work when you are on the BOINC!

Well, what do you know.... I have several UD agents running WITH UD-mon, slot-less and running HCMD units exclusively, not a HPF2, so dont assume i dont know what i'm talking about.... just browse a bit on the fora to what I've posted in past on the subject and operation. It works with or without the batch, using the right parm, but there is no guarantee it will continue to work!

And AGAIN, the science is identical so if it saves like on BOINC at each attempt and will with the greatest probability do so under UD agent. Except, UD Mon might not identify it properly as a non-author maintained 3rd party piece of software.

So again the questions from my first post.... if you want help, tell us so we can identify if e.g your shutdown procedures need amendment or something else interfering with proper saving. Add to the questions the CPU speed, which will give a ballpark idea of what to expect.

KLiK,

if you visit the Project Checkpoint Saving post in the Start Here forum, you will find several ways for you to positively determine if a save was made. It includes a paragraph on the shutdown procedure and how to read the Agent Graphics to determine if a checkpoint save has happened or is near (sample screenshots included).

Taking your speed and the present lengths of work, packed with more attempts, tluehr indication of > 1 hour per attempt on a 1.2ghz CPU is very probable. I get ranges of 20-25 minutes on a C2D that churns out per core 2 times more work than my 2.53ghz P4HT.... at 100% throttle.

Ram does impact the performance particular if it's on the lower end. disk i/o will occur if you actually use the PC at which time the computations also slow down.

Anyway, read the checkpoint save post and let us know if that does not provide the answers and we take it from there.

What i see from the quorum 19 details, BOINC users are privileged, very few actual error results come back.
