	Hello everyone. I couldn't find information on that in this forum, if I over looked it than please excuse me. My Ryzen 9 is running a bunch of the long units under Windows and according to the properties of every individual task they don't checkpoint. Is that correct? Thanks ____________

Thanks Checkpointing is every 10min if you reach the first bit. You could check your stderr.txt in slot folder. The runtime will not be saved after a restart. https://srbase.my-firewall.org/sr5/forum_thread.php?id=6&postid=14

	Hello rebirther. Last night I turned off my computer after 10 hours of crunshing the long wu's hoping that I was able to continue where I was left off. Unfortunatetly that wasn't the case. This morning all 24 wu's started from scratch. That was dissapointing. I couldn't find a way of copy and pasting them here for reference so I just give you one example. Maybe they need to be looked at to see what went wrong. S340_900-950k_wu_2610_0 ____________

	Ok found it. But nevertheless that doesn't solve the problem because like I said all wu's started again from zero. After 2 hours they show now close to 20%. Obviously the BOINC manager didn't use the stderr.txt files to resume crunshing. ____________

	Ok, maybe I was too impatient because the progress bar is also way off. Now I understand how your wu's work. The suffix "long" in the name is no exageration as they will need around 40 hours each on my PC. I have read that it is possible to set up the app_config.xml to run multithreading on them. My question is, where do I find the exact name of the app or can I just put "all" under name? Thanks rebirther. And again for always answering so quickly. That is rather unusual I must say but greatly appreciated! ____________

	When I came back this morning to my PC I had to find out that all 24 wu's had errored after 40-50 hours of crunching, not one turned out valid! That is extremely frustrating! If you want to take a look at the log here is one example: Name S294_900-950k_wu_2799_0 Arbeitspaket 48959768 Erstellt 24 May 2021, 9:54:55 UTC Gesendet 27 May 2021, 12:17:37 UTC Ablaufdatum 2 Jun 2021, 0:17:37 UTC Empfangen 30 May 2021, 8:07:09 UTC Serverstatus Abgeschlossen Resultat calculation error Clientstatus calculation error Endstatus 194 (0xc2) EXIT_ABORTED_BY_CLIENT Computer ID 213118 Laufzeit 1 Tage 18 Stunden 23 min. 7 sek.

In all your cases the WU was finished an restarted again.
