See details here: https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/issues/4602 v1.10 for Windows is using this new wrapper, so please test it out and give feedback! ID: 7322 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Thanks for the feedback! The tasks here are very short, just simulating a couple of events instead of 200 on the production server. One thing you should notice is that the start up time is faster since there is no copy of the vdi image to the tasks working area. ID: 7325 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

This file is much smaller than the project's vdi file and slowly increasing in size during runtime (600MB) I suspended my task a few times and a 2100MB sav-file was created and destroyed after resuming the task. https://lhcathomedev.cern.ch/lhcathome-dev/result.php?resultid=3093116 ID: 7330 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
