The United Federation of Planets, huh? That'll burn in pretty quickly. I wonder how LCARS copes with that. :-)

Ah, I see that the ISS is starting to come together... boxy thing though.
Very nice spacial effect on the graphics. Look at them long enough and you're getting space sick. So TGF TUFoP. :-)

Ok, what now?

OK, they run over 100% again. It's now waiting to run at 100.887%

@RDC, if you don't want to risk installing 6.1.14 for fear of losing work (a real possibility), then there's nothing you can do in this test run. Not unless Eric compiles a 5.10 compatible version as well.

Just before the v6 restriction, I had one run over 200% on Win98. At that point I exited and restarted BOINC and the wu restarted and finished ok at 100% (but this time I did not activate graphics or screen saver).

So in the end it ran for 59 wall-clock minutes. Just showing a lot longer due to all the restarts.

Running the second one I have, see if it goes in one go, when I adjust the switch between applications time to 70 minutes.

There you have it. It runs more than 1 hour in wall-clock time. Even though the CPU time says it didn't: 2980 seconds.

The switch application runs in wall-clock time though. So if you have it set to switch at 60 minutes, it'll do so. Whether the Pirates task is done or not. And since the checkpointing on the Pirates task seems to either not work or is non-existent, it'll restart from zero when it restarts on its next 60 minute run.

It should checkpoint after each MC simulation, so if it's not doing that correctly then there is a bug.

It should also stop after it finishes a MC simulation if the CPU time is over 3600 sec. That should be accumulated, even if it's been stopped and restarted. If not, that should be looked at.

Graphics are stuttering very much in the present run, each time it tries to do a trickle up or down.
