On checkpointing, ... after the first 2 they dried up... none more wrote since (10 minutes) though progress percent increments steadily. I have just got the first one after the two initial ones... 40 minutes later at more than 8 %. Regarding soft page faults that seems to be "medium" at 11-12k faults per second per task (3 running currently, one waiting to start). |

Sek,
The checkpoints should be fairly far between once you get past the first two. I believe the first two are just setting the states for the application. It was suggested that you leave application in memory as the check points will be few. -Uplinger |

Delighted to have mostly Linux machines on this project
---------------------------------------- I managed to snag four on one of my quads and one on my single core laptop with all in progress. With nearly a half hour run time, they're all nearly 5% complete. [edit] I temporarily supended GPU work to see if that helps speed the Beta WU's time to completion [/edit][Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at May 28, 2010 9:47:25 PM] |

the one started manually has interesting graphics. Ah yes, lovely!At last a new kind of graphics for those who like to show them. |

The workunits are set to exit after 8 cpu hours and return the results if they have not completed.j My first one has just passed 12.5 % with 1:00:07 CPU time (at 3.16 GHz). It seems that I might miss its natural completion before the 8-hour limit by few seconds if it keeps that pace.  Edit: Or maybe/probably the percentage computation has already integrated the fact that it will be cut off. ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by JmBoullier at May 28, 2010 10:04:47 PM] |

Given that the first one here at exactly 1 hour CPU time showed 12.5% too at 2.4 Ghz, think you need a whole lot faster device to get it to hit 100% of included XYZ "energies" or whatever the steps are called under Q.Chem.

Yes, the second one passed 12.5 % just the same: 1:00:00.
---------------------------------------- Anybody with a >4 GHz not-hyperthreaded proc? |

All 4 cores of my AMD 3.0 GHz machine completed about 10.2% of the WU at one hour but I suspect that might be due to the fact I had a GPU WU in progress concurrently for the first 25 minutes or so. What's interesting is my single core 1.6 GHz Centrino also completed 12.501% at exactly 1 hour.

I just had one finish. 2:17 on a 4.0GHz i7-980x. It's uploading now. The upload file is HUGE -- 33.429MB.
