OK, so in general accepted terms, LAIM OFF :D

... and the tasks are flooding in. 100,000 originals would [idle hope] promise a second reload after completing the first set received.

P.S. Now the dilemma... got 7.26 running on one machine on 8 cores. Unloading the client or rebooting is not an option or take an 8 invalid hit, so will just LAIM OFF > Suspend 7.27 Beta tasks and do the TM check to verify they've unloaded.

Here a sample stderr.txt of an 'unloaded' 7.27 after resume. 2 wcg_learn_limit = 50000 entries. The initialization time looks new... hope it sticks in the production version so folk have a feel how much 'Elapsed' was involved to permit a verification of the true wallclock the task ran versus recorded CPU time (some having impressions of disparity there). The BOINC client log file stdoutdae.txt would have revealed that too.

edit: The above was after 2 checkpoints had registered [Courtesy easyview with BOINCTasks]

Not an issue, just a couple of comments:

• (I'm assuming that) There's no point in restarting the WUs in the first 10 minutes as they'll restart from the beginning, not the checkpoint file.
  
  
• Without knowing what's in the black box, e.g. whether there are multiple passes / steps / phases in the calculations, I'm going to restart mine near the end as well, in case it's somehow process dependent.
  
  Any comments from the techs on this? How can we best help?
  

Let's hope we give them what they need to sort this one out!

No issues to report so far, just good news.. Restarted BETA_ MCM1_ 0000089_ 1255_ 1-- and it's already Validated OK.
