Hi Joe,

I'm trying to figure out whether these fc tasks are giving you trouble as well. I see that for both of these fc tasks they ran for many hours and produced many models and you got credits accordingly. As far as I know in-between models are saved so you would have gotten plenty of credit for these if you stopped them mid-way, wouldn't you?

These two tasks ran for about 4 hours, according to the taks details. But they both had been running for more than 7 hours, when I turned off the computer. So they fell back to the last save point, which was near to 4 hours on both tasks, when I turned it back on.
Looking at the computation time, they are giving me trouble, since I have lost 3 hours of work per tasks.
I was suprised about the amount of credits granted on this two tasks, but you can't predict, how much credit is granted for the fc_A_noSmallMvs-tasks:

Thanks, Joe! We'll next figure out different ways to reduce considerably the number of long-running trajectories. In the meantime, to make sure that you don't lose computing time as you suspend jobs, Mod.Sense's suggestion makes a lot of sense. In the boinc manager, go to Advanced/Preferences, select the "disk and memory usage" tab and check the "leave applications in memory while suspended option".

I have noticed that when these protein interface tasks stop check pointing,that when you show graphics the model in progress will have a very high number for the step that it is on.

I have seen tasks that have not check pointed for several hours with a model at over 100k steps.

It seems like when I look at the graphics of a protein interface task that is updating its' checkpoint it is making a model every 500 steps.
