Sekarob,

It was not left in memory after swapping.

And I don't like to increase switching time. It's at 120 minutes and it will stay there. Boinc is made for various projects to run in sequence, they just can't all have their own demands apart from general system requirements. I understand it potentially might decrease the chance of errors, but it's still no guarantee. I might as well set it to 30 or 100 hours, then it wouldn't switch or stop at all, apart from reboots.
The guarantee can be given by adjusting the app I think, but it must be on the priority list and within the capabilities of the dev-team. If not, than this project is unfortunately not for me. That's life, not everybody can be made happy all the time and this time I might be the unlucky one. I won't cry over it.
Still Kevin was looking into it and I'm willing to help him dissect the problem. When he says there's nothing that can or will be done about it, then I have to stop crunching HPF2, but were not there yet.

Thanks for your advice anyway,
Bart

Sekerob,
Most projects I crunch don't give many problems or errors. I do crunch some alpha or beta projects, but then I know in advance they can give problems, still then I also hope they will be addressed. If not, then I abandon them, but that only happens on rare occasions.
And I don't care about credits at all. I don't understand why people have emotional ties to "virtual cobblestones". I want to contribute to scientific progress, that's all and I'd be Boincing as well if there was no credit system at all. Still the efficiency plays an important role. If I produce errors that can't be resolved, than my cpu cycles and money spent on energy is useless and I need to rethink my strategy on how to support science.

Not sure, but interpreting the developers check in notes, a future 6.6 release might have the fix, essentially forcing an artificial High Priority condition to get it to finish.

- client: don't ignore jobs with fraction_done=1 (but still running)
- in RR simulation; we may need to mark them as deadline miss.

The BOINC coding experts may set me right

The Matrix FAQ in the Start Here forum has that information. There's another FAQ there specifically listing the project versions and release dates.

Yet another invalid result (a double "called boinc_finish" again). I think I better suspend HPF2 and wait for a new app. version. I hope that will be soon, I'll be happy to give it a try.
