Folding@Home Weekly Team News - 24th March 2006

Argh!!!

Just fired up my system today, F@H loaded up as normal and I loaded up FahMon. Looked at the status, it was @ 64% of a 5,000,000 WU, it waited for a while then came up with...

[10:39:03] Completed 3200000 out of 5000000 steps (64)
[10:39:03] Extra SSE boost OK.
[11:09:04] Timered checkpoint triggered.
[11:12:53] Size of work/wudata_06.xtc not what saved.
[11:12:53]
[11:12:53] Folding@home Core Shutdown: FILE_IO_ERROR
[11:12:56] CoreStatus = 75 (117)
[11:12:56] Error opening or reading from a file.
[11:12:56] Deleting current work unit & continuing...
[11:13:00] Trying to send all finished work units
[11:13:00] + No unsent completed units remaining.

It then got a new WU and just started it now...

[11:14:39] Writing local files
[11:15:09] Extra SSE boost OK.
[11:15:12] Writing local files
[11:15:14] Completed 0 out of 125000 steps (0)
[11:45:16] Timered checkpoint triggered.
[12:15:18] Timered checkpoint triggered.

You know what 'Timered checkpoint triggered' means?

Kinda takes a long time between the different steps. Only got this firefox browser open, looking around the forums. Its the rig show in my sig.
 
That bites, mate. Timered checkpoint triggered means that it reached its alotted checkpoint time. If it does not finish 1% in less than the amount of time you specified when you installed it, it will create a checkpoint. A checkpoint is just a save location where it will back up what it has done so far. The default time is 15 minutes.
