I'm now starting to believe that the rigid unit is checkpointing every 10% of the way through (but not based on time). When we know just how long these WUs might run we will have a better idea if that is often enough, but my feeling is that it probably isn't (though anything is better than nothing, of course).
I'm also seeing the progress jumping in 10% increments now, but after the 5th checkpoint it was showing 60% complete, not 50%, and it is now showing 70% without another checkpoint. That suggests it is going to sit for quite a while at 100% -- or maybe it will then drop back and increment apparently more normally -- but I don't think I'll still be awake when it gets there to see. While us old hands know that this is not a problem, it would be good if this could be improved on as previous posts by newbies have demonstrated that this confuses them, even to the point of killing WUs in the belief that they are "stuck". Just my 2p'th. |

Suspended and resumed at 70%. No % complete loss, so it must have been very close to a checkpoint. (The CEP WU fell back as expected).
----------------------------------------Edit: After running for several minutes it fell back to 10%. Concur that the progress indicator is not incrementing smooth like the other work-units. Batch 298.

Exited the app and stopped the processing between checkpoints. The WU re-started cleanly losing about the amount of time I expected.

I haven't found any problems. The 298s are completing without incident in between 1.50 and 1.98 hours. Congratulations to the techs.

Slightly off-topic, but ...
I haven't had any beta WUs for many months. I may have disabled participating in beta tests before leaving home for a week away, with all or most machines crunching away unattended, and forgotten to re-enable it upon my return. Now I can't find the beta test participation option. I can't see it in Settings >> My Profile or anywhere in Device Manager, and the other functions in Settings would not be relevant. Before the website was unimproved, access was via a sidebar option, in our member's profile I think, and there was only 1 setting to cover all devices. Update: I just found the settings, 1 for each device, under "My Contribution". Why is there not a box for this in each Device Profile, so that it can be reached under "Settings"? Please add to website "to do" list. And good luck with the current beta test. |

I received 4 295 WUs and all completed while I was at work and was not able to test checkpointing. All 4 ran simultaneously with no issues.

LAIM off it seemed to fall back between 10 and 20% to a checkpoint..... When I next looked some moments later it was back to 10%

I had one 00298 work unit.
After the sequence LAIM off, suspend, removed from memory message, resume, running I noticed the following: Properties showed CPU last checkpoint as i hour 48 minutes but the stderr file shows zero CPU time at restart: Result Log Result Name: BETA_ OET1_ 0000298_ xEBGP-FA_ rig_ 1327_ 1-- <core_client_version>7.2.42</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <stderr_txt> INFO: No state to restore.

19 of batch 295/296 on Windows, most valid, BOINCTasks showing the 'normal' number of checkpoints taken, 5-7 per task, when the log indicates there were for instance 45 jobs included. This confirms the app follows the 'Write to Disk at Most' setting properly, which is set at 1000 seconds.
