The OpenIFS model batches require the option 'Leave non-GPU in memory while suspended' to be enabled under boincmgr -> Disk&Memory. This will prevent the task from frequently restarting and reduce the risk of task failure.

Re: [climateprediction.net] Request to volunteers to please enable: 'Leave non-GPU tasks in memory'
The main reason (but not the only one) for this notice is this:
If an OpenIFS task (of the current application version and workunit batches) is suspended to disk too often, it will take more disk space for its state files than allowed as per the corresponding workunit property. At that point, the boinc client will kill such a task.
The developers/ admins may be doing something about that in future application versions or/and future workunit batches, but it's not definite yet.
