Had a work unit error out on a windows XP machine, not to fuel the debate as I can always run another project on this old machine. Here is the log.

I had 3 beta WUs give errors on an Asus Ultrabook running Windows 7 SP1 x64. So at least for this instance it looks like the (permanent HTTP error) is not related to whether it is running on Windows XP.

There is a batch of work being made available now of the second type of workunit that will be run for this project. If it runs well we will load more batches of that type later. Again if you are experiencing any file transfer or download errors in beta please turn http_debug on in your client and post the event log when the issue occurs. https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Client_configuration
Thanks, armstrdj |

I had a wu download failure, this time on a windows 10 machine ..here is the log.

With the current units, the first checkpoint has occurred when the second structure completed, not the first as previously. Is that the intended behaviour?
With one checkpoint having occurred, the stderr file ends with: Setting up checkpointing ... BOINC:: Worker startup. Starting job S_0001 Finished job S_0001 in 1465.83 seconds Starting job S_0002 Finished job S_0002 in 1439.67 seconds Starting job S_0003 |

A checkpoint should be attempted after every structure is completed but whether or not it takes one will depend on your value for write to disk. I checked the results that are back and saw several examples of runs that took a checkpoint after the first structure was computed and restarted on the second structure. I will take a look at the code to make sure the right calls are being made to signal the checkpoint was taken.
Thanks, armstrdj |

Jonathan, that machine has checkpoint to disk at most every 300 sec, so much less than the 1465.83 sec to complete structure 1. For checkpointing on this occasion, I was going by the task properties and the content of the boinc_checkpoint_count.txt file in the slots folder.

Thanks, armstrdj It's also, if your app is flagged to listen to the client desire to write to disk more or less than what the science app is compiled to do, ergo, every structure is the logical point, but 1500 seconds seems to be a long time, the slower the device the longer, and I've seen 1 hour+ on a 3Hgz device. If you run such a science on an 8 / 16 / 32 threaded device that's lots of lost time for every time a client is restarted. Better tell people to switch on 'keep in memory when suspended' for those that actually 'use' their computer, and do not wish to crunch during that 'use' time or you'll encounter another walk away uproar. |

Hurray, this afternoon I received 2 WU's - one on each machine. As soon as I arrive home, I'll force them to the front of the queue.
