I'm running first task with it. Boinc or LHCb app haven't vomited on it so far (~ 2 hours). |

Virtualbox 6 is development! Oracle wrote on the virtualbox-homepage: Use this not in PRODUCTION! |

Yes, I read that. But I like testing for fun if 'bleeding edge' versions can run and survive. Miracle happened here. Task validated successfully. https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/result.php?resultid=208016409 I'm not going back to production version unless problems start to show up. |

Production versions are just so PC. Nobody wants to talk bleeding edge. I will. |

Now there's no work available for LHCb so it's a nice time for a report. 14 tasks run (8-core) so far... just to see if anything would break, but no problems caused by this 6.0 Beta 1 whatsoever. |

A small update: After LHCb work was ceased this host run a few SixTrack tasks until they were gone too. So this host has been running ATLAS tasks now. I started with 2-cores for VM and have gradually went to 8-cores. No problems with this '6.0 Beta 1', all has been working fine. I see I haven't mentioned this is a Windows host. https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/results.php?hostid=10569134 |

Running ATLAS task here... Beta 2 is working fine on Windows system. Tasks seem to complete succesfully and validate OK. |

Beta 3 and first task with Theory v263.90 running (not yet finished)... https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/result.php?resultid=210867838 |

Okay, I was already going to tell that I see strange behavior... tasks running only for a short time and then starting from the beginning. That was because previous Theory tasks had run something like 18 hours. I thought a task was looping now. Then I found out there is already a couple of "Completed and validated" from this new set. They run about 25 minutes. 'Progress' bar went barely to 2 % until these tasks finished. I don't know if they produced scientifically any useful results, but at least anything didn't error out. Beta 3 - Good product again, 5/5 stars |
