e3s333_e1s689p0f967-ADRIA_New_KIXcMyb_HIP_AdaptiveBandit-1-2-RND5072 The CPU time since last checkpoint isn't going over the 90 second mark. It's supposed to save a maximum of every 600 seconds. My last upload for an Adria New Adaptive Bandit task was half a gigabyte, and the task took over a day to compute. Saving anything like this to my SSD every 90 seconds for days is going to wear it out. Is this happening to everybody else, and how do I get the task to obey BOINC limits? |

The task is checkpointing as required by the app to work. But it should not be saving every 90 elapsed seconds. The total size of the result is large. gdf |

The total size of the result is large. I have no problem with a large result file, provided you keep an eye on the maximum size allowed in the task specification, and ensure there's always plenty of headroom. There's nothing more frustrating than completing a large task, but having the result rejected by the server because the size has grown beyond an outdated limit. |
