Beta Test for Help Conquer Cancer - GPU v6.55
We were able to identify the issue that was causing the workunits to get hung at the end of the workunit. We have implemented a fix that we believe will resolve the issue and that worked in the test cases we ran in alpha testing. Due to the fix residing in the BOINC API layer that handles communications from the core client to the research application, we are discussing what we did with the BOINC development team. This round of beta testing will give us some good insight into the behavior at large scale.

Please note that there is a natural 30 second - 3 minute span at the end of each workunit where the % complete does not increment. This is not the hang. It is only if it has been stuck at this spot for > 10 minutes that you can consider it hung.

Please note that the GPU option should be fixed now and the option to choose whether to run GPU work all the time or only when you are not using your computer are now available.
