I have just released GARLI 5.01 for all platforms, which should hopefully fix the checkpointing issue. There should be more work in the system soon, and we'll find out then.

Great news, had a bunch fail out on me after a number of hours into the WU.

Windows, Mac or Linux?

Windows. But one of the machines apparently had one come in and run successfully yesterday as I get a couple of credits return.

Both Ubuntu boxes are down at the moment.

I have had WU's run wayyyyy long, and even with the lappy cooler on full blast and elevated 16" up, more then 1 WU at a time is causing thermal shut down when running with PG GPU work it seems. Everyday I am coming home and it is turned off since Lattice started having work again.

I know this reply is late as hell, but it should be pointed out that GARLI can use upwards of 9GB RAM per WU and last ~40 hours. Depending on your BOINC settings, running out of RAM can cause crashes.

I've got 1 at 95 Hr's now, it's been at 95% Completion for the last 30 Hr's. I posted at the Lattice Forum about it as I expect it will crash at some point like all the ones before it ...

But, if it crashes, will it make any noise over on WuProp?

Yup, from what I can tell as long as you don't abort a Wu you get Credit for the Time run at WUProp ...

I don't have a machine with that much RAM. So I am unable to run one of my favorite projects.
