AMD is good for sieving not for llr.

HI,
SR switches between different tasks within itself and looses a lot of time due to non existing checkpoints.
I find it very bad, to waste the calculating time of all the volunteers, only because SR cannot be asked to implement these.
This should be highest priority.
Any comments?

Only way to prevent computing time loss right now is to not mix long and short tasks I guess,,,

Is checkpointing at reasonable intervals going to be implemented soon? I have to occasionally restart machines, and I can't have WUs running for hours on end with no checkpointing. I just had to abort a batch of the Long WUs because they were running too long with no end in sight (24+ hours on a couple of them without a checkpoint).


Checkpointing is every 10min except on Mac, there is no checkpointing yet. Pls note that the runtime is not saved there but fixed credits will compensate the missing time.


Is there any plans for checkpointing for Mac?
Long tasks are running ~7 hours on my Macbook pro.


Iam still looking for someone who is able to compile the wrappers for 32/64bit mac.

I have some compilers installed. If it is not too complicated I can try.
