Saying 'sorry' doesn't mean a darned thing IF NOTHING CHANGES!!! It's still an issue for Win7, although less than for WinVista, as long as the Rosetta@Home server keeps sending 32-bit workunits to 64-bit versions of Windows. You might check if your motherboard is able to hold any more memory, and if so, try installing more memory. With 16 GB, my Win7 computer is at least fast at failing cryo workunits. |

Saying 'sorry' doesn't mean a darned thing IF NOTHING CHANGES!!! I am about maxed in each machine, meaning that less then 1gb per machine could be added, at least for those less then 16gb. I am still using some older mb's that can only support 4gb max, most already have that amount but a couple only have 3gb. They were upgraded from a 32bit OS and going from 3 to 4gb on a Boinc only machine is pretty pointless. |

the memory problem turned out to be tricky. As least for my local test, it wasn't running out of memory, or memory leak. Turned out, there was a problem with the potential gradient calculation in the electron density energy function. And this makes the reference frame to drift away, and eventually crash. I just updated the code and restarted the jobs. If you still see the errors after updating the application, please post here: https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/forum_thread.php?id=6222 I'll be monitoring that thread closely. Yifan |

Docking@home is getting my cpu cycles. Mmmm, not the best comunicative project... |

I have plenty of memory in my systems but I never see more then the half of it used by BOINC even if all cores are crunching. So I guess putting in a lot of memory is not needed for happy crunching, the apps need to be good. And as can be read the Rosie app is updated to a new version. Greetings, TJ. |

So I guess putting in a lot of memory is not needed for happy crunching, the apps need to be good. Note that if you're using 64-bit Windows Vista, no more than about half the memory CAN be listed as used by BOINC if you're running only 32-bit workunits, since an approximately equal amount of memory is needed for the SYSWOW64 modules needed to run the 32-bit workunits but these modules are not counted toward the memory used by BOINC. In order to see these modules listed in Windows Task Manager, you must enable Show processes from all users, then look for images listed as svchost.exe. If you're using 64-bit Windows 7 instead, a higher fraction of the memory can be listed as in use by BOINC because it provides much smaller SYSWOW64 modules. |

RB_05 tasks are killing me. I am getting pop up memory error messages a lot now. What is going on? |

I have a number of clients running, but recently i've added a new machine and re activated some old machines that Ihad re imaged and the clients are not downloading or computing tasks, they are all resulting in client errors. Client ids im having issues with are 1619183 1618973 and 1618951 |

I have a number of clients running, but recently i've added a new machine and re activated some old machines that Ihad re imaged and the clients are not downloading or computing tasks, they are all resulting in client errors. Hi You're getting <error_code>-200</error_code> (you can see that if you click on any of the Task ID links for the failed work units). Googling that leads to this old thread which suggests that it might be that downloads of .exe files are blocked by the firewall, or a lack of disk space - could that be it? If you want to try dropping them in the folder manually, I believe you just need to put the rosetta exe (minirosetta_3.46_windows_intelx86.exe) and the graphics exe (minirosetta_graphics_3.43_windows_intelx86.exe) into your projects folder (default is something like "c:programdataboincdataprojects"). You can download those files manually from here: https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/download/ (scroll to the bottom for the .exe files.) HTH Danny |

Thanks for the info I was in fact missing the exe files on the affected machines, and our proxy should block exe's so that probably explains why, however I had started milkyway to see if that worked and it did, and it even managed to download it's exe's. I'll leave the stations a while and see if they pick up any jobs. Cheers |

Hello! I'm new to these forums, and am not sure if this is the right place to post this question. Anyway, I have recently gotten a new computer and installed boinc on it. Rosetta@home being my favorite project, that was the first project for me to install. However, as far as I can see, every workunit has failed with an error code of -200. I looked it up, and found little information on the topic. The exit code is -186 (0xffffffffffffff46). I'm not sure if the errors are a result of an unstable processor or hardware compatibilities or some other issue I'm not aware of. I'd appreciate any help you guys could give me! Here's a link to one of the failed workunits: https://boinc.bakerlab.org/result.php?resultid=585870618 |

Rosetta@home being my favorite project, that was the first project for me to install. Hi Ameobea, my first guess would be disk space - is there enough on the partition that the BOINCData folder is on? Otherwise, could be a download error for that file that's mentioned... Danny |

Hello! I'm new to these forums, and am not sure if this is the right place to post this question. Anyway, I have recently gotten a new computer and installed boinc on it. Rosetta@home being my favorite project, that was the first project for me to install. Yes, boinc has plenty of spare space. I gave it 10gb, and it's only using just over 2. Also, I've been getting that error on almost every workunit I've gotten so far, so I don't think it's a download error. Maybe my antivirus is getting in the way. If it keeps up, I'll try disabling the firewall. I already set it to exclude the boinc program files and program data directories. |

Rosetta@home being my favorite project, that was the first project for me to install. Well, I guess I should have checked my overclock better :p It was still just a bit unstable, as demonstrated by a bluescreen part way into a prime95 run. Shows my nubbyness in regards to that. Anyway, I nerfed my processor a bit and hope that works! Thanks for the suggestion :) |

Are you folks having problems? I had been running Rosetta quite happily for quite a while. Then I quit getting work units. No error messages (that I noticed, anyway), just no work units. Did I miss an update or something? Any suggestions? |

Are you folks having problems? I had been running Rosetta quite happily for quite a while. Then I quit getting work units. Since your running other projects and just joined a new project, BOINC is taking time from Rosie to get that project up to speed. If you want to do more Rosie work then you need to go into your Rosetta account page and change your resource share to a higher number. Then do a update of Rosetta in your BOINC manager program so that it reads the new resource share and adjusts things accordingly. Check how your resource share is configured for each project by looking in the BOINC Manager projects tab and then go to each project page and adjust it according to how you want to run each project. Your running the same kind of system I am. A quadcore xp system with SP3. Only other thing besides the above is to check is that any firewall you have on your system is not blocking the current program related to the tasks that are being run now. Sometimes a program for a new protein is not reconised or a new version of the rosetta program is put out and the firewall does not know what to do with it either. |

The website page for your host indicates it has not contacted the server (i.e. not requested any work) since the 6th. So, as GregBE suggests, either your machine feels it already has enough work from other projects, or perhaps the Rosetta project is labelled as "no new tasks". See BOINC Manager projects tab status column. Rosetta Moderator: Mod.Sense |
