I can't get any work, I was running okay until I loaded 4.35?? on Windows XP.

4.35 and 4.36 have known scheduling and benchmark issues. I upgraded to 4.37 and this seems to have resolved itself. Give it a try...

Do you have a link to where these "known issues" are documented, thanks. I'm running a number of boxes on 4.36, so far without issue. If there's a widespread problem then I'll jump ship immediately :).

With this bleeding edge stuff you could be jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire anyway. I must admit that the so-called "stable" releases seem to be really no better than the bleeding edge so you may as well be at the edge :).

Edit: Before anyone takes that as a serious recommendation, please realise it's IMHO :).

Cheers,
Gary.

There are numerous posts explaining 'oddities' on the S@H boards.

The benchmark bug was that the part of the code that halts the science application prior to benchmarking was borked, so if the CC (or you) decided to benchmark in the middle of processing, that WU would error out. This is supposed to be fixed in 4.38. Some people also reported benchmarks locking up their systems. Not sure if this is related, but it seems likely.

As for the scheduler, 4.36 had several oddities. It would do things like request additional CPDN WUs when you still had hundreds of hours of processing time left on your current one, as well as requesting additional WUs from the ROC projects, when those WUs run for a year. 4.37 fixed some of the problems, but introduced a few more. ;)

Now lets see what 4.38 is all about. :)
