	I've created a new set of work units from DNA@Home using a new data file (from human genome revision 19 -- hg19). These should run a bit longer than the other work units, so please let me know if the time estimates and credit is okay. They're actually not as long as I'd like them to be, so depending on how things are working work units after this could be 10x longer.

	Estimated run time on my computers is 10 to 14 minutes, so I will see how they run. Conan

	On my fastest system they are estimated at 10 minutes or so. So far one has completed and it was done in 93 seconds cpu time. The next one is at 50% complete with about 43 minutes of cpu time. Quite a difference. So, right now the estimate is 90 minutes or so for this one. Not sure why it's taking so much longer. This is a 4 core system running Linux. There are three other tasks running and they appear to be in line with the one that's half done. Time will tell. ____________

Was it a test_hg19 work unit or something else? 90 minutes sounds more right for the test_hg19 work units.

	A double check of that fast one shows it was a leftover from the last batch of small ones. Must have been stuck. It was created earlier today. So, the time estimates for the new batch seem to be very low. ____________

	They come to me with an "estimated completion" time of 9:25. They are completing at around 50 minutes on this rig. Ten times longer would be a lot... I'll run them overnight and see how it goes. ** I'm using the single GPU for Collatz Conjecture "mini_collatz" WUs @ (0.88cpu + 1 ATI gpu) ____________

	Tasks seems to have a validate horror, any validator bug?

	What is the check-pointing set at for these??? Seems to be at 50% ??? I thought check-pointing was done by time, not percentage? I have validate errors on all completed tasks that are not pending. gibbs_test_hg19_1_71_0_1 gibbs_test_hg19_1_72_0_1 etc. etc. etc. I think I will abort all these and wait until further news. I noticed a huge memory increase while running these... related?

I noticed a huge memory increase while running these... related? This will take a whole lot more memory as the input file is quite a bit larger. Let me check out the errors. Checkpointing is done by the number of iterations the application does. Since I set it to do 10000 total iterations and it was previously checkpointing every 5000, 50% looks right. I should probably make it checkpoint more frequently, maybe every 5% or so.

	it's also really strange that they're erroring out. From the tasks themselves it looks like they're returning the same results...

Didn't want these to run too long because I wanted to make sure they wouldn't crash and validate correctly. They are taking just over an hour (between 3,994 and 4,248 seconds) to actually run. Four so far returned with two pending and two with Validate Errors (along with my wingmen). Conan

Stderr of invalid task (validate error) doesn't show any error, it seems to be validator bug. Actually what's happening is the stderr is too long, so it's cutting off information the validator needs to validate things.
