Source code can always be found in the code release directory.

When compiling be sure to use the:

APP_VERSION = 0.18
APP_NAME = your_app_name

-DBOINC_APP_VERSION=$(APP_VERSION)
and
-DBOINC_APP_NAME='"$(APP_NAME)"'

flags to make sure your binary gets credit. I've also updated the_parameters.sh script so to test a WU you just need to run:
./set_parameters

The results should look like the following:

I'll be adding some sample checkpoint files for each of these stripes as well (sometime later tonight or tomorrow), so it'll be easy to test that they're checkpointing correctly as well.

But you can't compare the values in the checkpoints, because they are of course dependent on the stage of the computation. They will be most likely different even on the same computer when one runs the same application twice and compares the checkpoints written after let's say two minutes.

Well, if the application is started using the checkpoint file, it should return the same result as if it had been run without one.

The checkpoint files (given the same point in the computation) should be the same across different computers.

So what I was planning on doing was having a set of checkpoint files from different stages in the workunits computation, so a user could test them by having the application using a checkpoint file and seeing if the result it gave was the same as if it had ran without a checkpoint.
