Let me know if they're still having problems. ID: 38859 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Progress bar starts with 0% when commencing instead of (e.g.) 84% (of the previous state). It's like Sisyphos. Is this about the "bad workunits"? What can be done? BOINC is 6.10.43; MacOSX-10.6.3; This behavior does not apply to Seti, Einstein, or Climate Prediction.

I'm trying to figure it out. ID: 38866 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

One took 8 hours to get to 2-3% and then finished in another 10 hours. The other experienced the "no checkpoint" problem. It had run for 8-9 hours, then I shut BOINC (and my computer) down for the night. This morning, it restarted from scratch. Jim ID: 38868 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
