Check points are under 'options > computing preferences > Request task check point' i have mine set to every 180 seconds, if i have a power outage or a PC crash i could lose 1h05m computing on one work unit without checkpoints, but spread over the 32 cores ( 32 running work units at almost completion 99%) its a day and a half of lost work :( so having mine set to 180seconds i would lose about 1h30min computing time worsted case scenario,

obviously with some computers which have a high clock frequency and less cores .. lets say work units take 32min and have 8 cores you would only lose 4 hours of work (with no check points), but again this is lost computing time... so a ball park ' Request task check point' set at every 300 seconds would be OK (40minits of computing time lost), im sure some one will have a formula or something :)

Thank you for the feedback! The tasks will be of the same length. Also, CurieMarieDock runs faster, so they will finish faster. We hope this will more or less eliminate the need for checkpoints. We use BOINC Wrapper, and the main problem is, there are either checkpoints or correct suspending of tasks/project by the client. The latter feature is highly demanded.
