Also, if serious consideration is being discussed keep in mind the latest 5.2 versions of Virtualbox needs updated vbox wrappers provided.

I can confirm the one box I had upgraded fails every work unit at the moment in my testing at Source Finder.

I'm actually arguing for keeping the Linux version rather than replace it. Telling me to not bother because you like them isn't acceptable to me. You play it off like they run great because you had little issue with them. You can scour their forums over and over to find the average user does not agree. You are right about LHC not being in its present form as it would still be Six Track running traditional work and the others doing it in house or eventually adapting things different. Cosmology would just be down one application as well. I don't see how that is relevant. Either way. My vote is to not embrace virtualbox if it means pulling non-virtualbox work.

I agree that VBox projects/apps get much less support. That's supported by data. It's even more evident when there are competitions and people do not have VBox already setup so it will run with BOINC. They just end up running the non-VBox apps.

LHC may not exist w/o VBox. Maybe they wanted to keep their stuff a secret or whatever. They could definitely get some more support if the rest of the apps were not Vbox.

I received two tasks today and they both worked. Two at once as well.

Multiple tasks at once are the way we intend to go for QC (consistent with your preferences of course). The idea is to limit the number of cores to 4, and the BOINC client should manage the available capacity.

I wasn't at home to see them run. I just happened to nice I had two tasks on my account page. They def used more than 4 cores. Looks like a little more than 8 threads.

Completed an hour apart. Another client was running some other CPU work so run time could have been better.

No news about cpu wus??

Looks like I received some tasks today as I can see them in my tasks. None have completed yet.

Discussion on these QMML wus continues in the Multicore forum...
