Sekerob,

The binaries and everything are exactly the same as before, we are utilizing the new swift storage for sending out the files. From my testing this has increased the speeds as well as corrected a bunch of download errors we were seeing when first launching an application.

For the naming where you see the linux with windows. That is a bit confusing, but it has to do with how files were named and opened using the boinc symbolic links. With the update to swift storage i did some work to help add additional labeling to the file so that it would be unique from linux/mac/windows on our root system and for all applications going forward. The linux call should only affect the CEP2 application as it calls the secondary binary assuming it was linux. Even though the binary it was calling was compiled for windows and mac.

Subsequent batches will have around 1000, some less towards the end of the batches.

Crystal, on this first set, there is nothing specific I need for you to watch. I'm hoping by having a large group of results for beta we will get a great range of things to look at. So far the first batch appears to be working well, we will need to wait for results to come in so I can view some validation logs to make sure things are well. Since you will be uploading part of the result directly to the harvard group, they will also be taking a look at these results.

Thank you again for you assistance with beta,

12 of 32 in progress on two machines and running fine so far. All reached the first check point at about an hour after starting.

RTS48,

I understand your frustration with long checkpoints. However, a few of the other users in the beta have reported the first checkpoint happening within the first 2 hours. As for the long checkpoints, the application this project is utilizing is very complicated and was not originally designed to be used for restarting. It was designed to run on dedicated machines that if they had a power failure it would just restart. Due to the complexity of the application, we are only able to safely restart from a checkpoint which happens after every job. Unfortunately it is the nature of the application.

We do have other applications that do checkpoint more frequently if you are concerned about frequent restarts to your computer.

Thanks,
-Uplinger

Two have already finished. We'll see when each wingman completes whether that's a good thing or not.
