Same version as presently in production, 7.0?
----------------------------------------BTW, still after all these years getting twice the same 67mb file on Linux with different names...aux or something.Time to fix this and introduce symlinking to improve space use and efficiency.

I picked up one, running on Boinc 7.6.22 with Windows 10 Pro x64 10.00.10586
After about 16% and one hour I suspended the work leaving in memory fine. When I closed Boinc and restarted the job restarted from 0% so no checkpoint. |

I picked up one, running on Boinc 7.6.22 with Windows 10 Pro x64 10.00.10586 After about 16% and one hour I suspended the work leaving in memory fine. When I closed Boinc and restarted the job restarted from 0% so no checkpoint. CEP2 has fixed checkpoints at the end of each of its jobs. I can't speak for the beta tasks, but looking at the last 25 production tasks on my hyperthreaded i7-6700K @ 4.00GHz Windows 10 system only 2 made their first checkpoint within an hour and 2 others took slightly more than 5 hours. If you have BOINC Manager in advanced mode you can see when the last checkpoint was made by selecting the task you're interested in on the Tasks tab and clicking the Properties button. If there's been no checkpoint "CPU time at last checkpoint" will be shown as "---" Alternatively, if you enable checkpoint debug in the client configuration dialog the event log will log every checkpoint made by all of your tasks. For the most recent of my longer tasks the event log has: 19/02/2016 02:54:47 | World Community Grid | Starting task E236140_439_S.288.C35H25N1S2Si1.CBKFYIQCJWAPMG-UHFFFAOYSA-N.2_s1_14_2 using cep2 version 700 Edit: Note that the checkpoint times match the "Finished Job" lines in that task's error log.

These betas are not enforcing the 1 task per core rule. I've picked up 195 of them on 6 hosts (48 cores). Were they supposed to work that way?
----------------------------------------The profile has Number of workunits per host for The Clean Energy Project - Phase 2? as unlimited  [Edit 1 times, last edit by foxfire at Feb 20, 2016 2:23:34 AM] |

This Beta seems to be behaving exactly like they were CEP2 workunits. It is observing the setting "Number of workunits per host for The Clean Energy Project - Phase 2?" in device profiles. And it is observing the CEP2 settings in app_config.xml.
----------------------------------------If you have "Number of workunits per host for The Clean Energy Project - Phase 2?" set to unlimited then that seems to be what you are going to get with this Beta if the WUs are available.

I have 6 running beta workunits at 26%. I suspend it and after stopping and restarting of Boinc 2 of them are restarting from checkpoit, the other 4 are starting from beginning.

Task progress indication for CEP2 is unrelated to real job progress... it's an expression of hours run as fraction of 18 hours maximum when the tasks are cut-off. So, 26% means the tasks ran approximately 4.68 hours. Running 4 concurrent as of last night and one had not checkpointed after 12 hours, 1 had only 1 checkpoint [did 2 more in the next 30 minutes], 2 had 6 checkpoints [the BOINCTasks tool shows the count]. Checkpoint recovery testing is useless unless a task has actually written/logged the first or you're guaranteed to loose many an hour on the longest of 8 jobs in a task, the first job #0.

Pardon me for asking, I don't understand the purpose for this Beta test.
----------------------------------------uplinger said: "This test involved new work units"; so a question would be: is there any important difference with the 'old' WUs? uplinger also mentioned: "Please test checkpointing by stopping and starting results during computation."; so a question would be: what is it that has changed? Also, uplinger said: "we have sent out only 50 work units, but plan to send out a total of 5000 work units for testing." So, the 5000 WUs haven't been sent yet, or? In this thread foxfire said: "I've picked up 195 of them on 6 hosts", so the 5000 seem to have been sent. It sounds to me that some info went missing, did I really miss something?

The one WU I have is now at 70% after 13Hrs 11 minutes. It has only checkpointed once at 11Hrs 15 minutes.
