I'm not sure if this information helps : The _9_ series had checkpoint files that consisted of a single line containing only the character "0" (0x30, not 0x00) followed by CRLF after 15+ hours ID: 229 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I have no idea... Your host shows 7 tasks in progress and the host have 12 threads, so Universe should take only 7 threads. If takes more then is something wrong with you manager (Universe are not MT application, and can't take more then one thread for one task).

Are you mean, that checkpoints not working properly? I have checked on Linux machine (works fine) but at the moment can't check on Windows.

Last modified: 31 Mar 2015, 20:07:18 UTC I have no idea.... BOINC's "suspend" doesn't work on your application (p.s.: on windows, not sure about *ix), suspended tasks keep running. So if you have 7 tasks running and the host goes into panic mode and starts 7 different tasks with an earlier deadline, you will end up with 14 active tasks (BOINC doesn't notice that and marks the paused ones as "suspended" in the GUI). The same problem exists at FiND@Home, still unsolved, so if you find a solution, maybe you could share it with them. Unfortunately they have not created their application properly so the executable doesn't contain the BOINC API version string (I supposed that it might be a version issue but could not verify it). p.s.: This behaviour might have a bad side effect, when a workunit ends while it is supposed to sleep, it reports an error "result file present too long" (the wording is from my memory, might be slightly different) as BOINC doesn't pick up the result immediately (it doesn't watch suspended applications) ID: 234 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I just lost about 50 hours of crunching time because the server cancelled all my workunits. But these weren't from series 9, they were from 10 and nearly finished...
