Like having a usage surge so big that all work units are consumed without being replaced?

Curious minds want to know. :)

I have, but only when I've done too much Rosetta and I have to catch up on LHC...

I don't think that the Rosetta project has EVER run out of WUs, this is partially because even if they re-send WUs, they still get a different random seed once they reach the individual computer. Right now, Rosetta produced about 31TFlops, if I remember correctly, they want to be in the 100-150TFlop range.

Until then, we will NEVER have to worry about running out of Rosetta units =-) (unless the splitter breaks down or something like that)

I have already put the project on notice that they should be reday to keep the "spice" flowing. They have agreed that they will be no work shortages.

Oh, MAN! There's ONLY 19000 WUs left in the queue?

"You can't fix stupid" (Ron White)

TeraFLOPS estimate: 33.148

Wow, it seems to me that this project has increased the amount of work done by 1 Teraflop per day since I have been following that estimate when it was at 29 teraflops.

On that note, I have been getting a lot of workunits that are not casp related. Probably like 4 or 5 in a row. Is the work with casp proteins thus far done, is the work being analyzed, or are the workunits just leftover from the batch? We were told that there were some non-casp workunits, but I did not think that I would get this many in a row.....

Don't worry!

We changed the queued-job limit to 20k instead of 50k, to allow faster throughput when a high priority job is submitted. There are a very large number of jobs waiting to go into the queue!

Many of the CASP jobs only have the target number in the names and don't include CASP7 in the name. I just checked the queue and everything in it is a CASP target.

This page https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/rah_status.php shows around 70k WUs ready.
