@All testers
Please keep eye on indices.txt in working directory (if it become non-zero length or not).
And if you keep result file, please, keep indices.txt too along with result and WU files.

- both just started - have chunky indices.txt files (attached). If I'm reading the guesstimates right, these both have a high chance of pulsing out before their allotted span. Have suspended networking for a result capture.

Raistmer:
Fine, thanks!
It would be usefult to get these WU + results + final indices.txt in their final state. To have some reference point.

"At sample 1024, data_chunk_now 256, strength 13.369141 > 12.100000"
So, we can see what limit established for pulses. If pulse is bigger it should be quenched ...

Jason G:
NoNo, not Pulse I think... sample... Big difference... Correct me if I am wrong please.

Main is paying as near as dammit 760 cobbles, making Cruiser's AP rate ~0.00807454. Still respectable, but not such an outright winner.

I won't be commenting on this at Main: the difference isn't all that significant, and it's nice to see someone saying something nice about AP credit for a change.

Don't worry ... I figured that Beta would have a different pay scale, which is why I pointed out that it was a work unit from Beta.  I'll be adding new posts to all the threads with updated results for all the v5 work units completed for Main and Beta, so people can see the differences.  I've got 11 more in my queues (six for Main, five for Beta), plus the last v4.36-branded work unit being crunched with the v4.37 SSE3 EPF app.

Some questions from a new tester...

I have to work in a couple of hours, and the v4.36-branded work unit will complete while I'm gone.  If I have it set for no network activity, will the results files be preserved?  If they are preserved ... then where?  The slots directories?

Looking in the slots directories, I can already see a couple of non-zero indeces.txt files.  Will these be preserved as well, or overwritten by new ones when new work units start?

- Yes, they'll stay there with network activity disabled.
- Yes the files will be preserved
- WU file will be in the project folder
- corresponding results and indices.txt will be in the slot (I think  ;D)
- What we are mostly after is those that early exit.  If you can keep/copy the WU file, result and indices, then report the file, the result page online will have useful info too, I find making a text file with the result web address at the top, followed by entire task page copy/pasted, is very useful as it has stderr contents.

[Note: If you have a 'nice' early exit, say <50% progress, then I'll point you to a FTP place to deposit the files]

[EDIT: example stderr & details text file attached to clarify  ;D]
