Hi,

in thread

PROJECT INFORMATION AND HELP INDEX!!!
https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/forum_thread.php?id=1769

the last item (17) seems to be about Wikipedia, but it points to BakerLab papers.

You probably need two links, one to the publications and another to wikipedia.

Keep up the good work, Dimitris

How-To: Join Distributed Computing projects that benefit humanity

At my job theres about 20 old PCs that my boss is planning on scrapping. Their all old, mostly pre-windows 2000 at most. one or 2 may meet the system requirements for rosetta but not all do. My question is, if i take these computers home, and set them all up to run the rosetta project will it matter if the system requirements do not meet? I wouldnt be using the computers for anything else but the rosetta project so thats why im wondering if i can make an exception in this case. Thanks please advise
Regards,
Jose

I'd like to point out some of my machines. . I run a department of computers from 'sucky' to 'brand new'. The lower end machines are only ~400mhz, with 128MB of RAM, but they are still able to return sucessful results to the project. I'd say every little bit helps :)

...The only problems I can see are related to the short deadlines for CASP. If the machine is really slow, you might want to run it with the shortest time setting (1 or 2 hours) so it can meet the deadlines.
I think you mean to say to run at a longer time setting, since it will take a slow machine a long time to even do one variant. If the setting is left at 1 or 2 hours, the user should be aware that the runs will probably last longer because the software will not quit until one variant is achieved.

Actually, I think you're both misstating it. A slower machine crunches a WU with a 3hr runtime pref. in the same 3 hours that it takes a fast machine (it just gets less models completed and earns less credits due to the slower CPU).

Regardless of the speed of the machine, if the machine is not crunching 24hrs a day, then you'll want to be sure your WU runtime preference is short to assure the WU ends and reports before the deadline.

Suggestion: Unsticky the 10 reasons people crunch Rosetta thread, and post some of the other reasons posted in the thread into the new webpage linked off the homepage. And people will find the thread from there, and if updates are made, that will keep it high on the list.

I am new to Rosetta and Boinc, but I have used the old seti@home project in the past. I was concerned with a computation error I had received with work a work unit producing a result 23954214. It isn't the fact that I had an error that concerns me, but rather the result work unit ID 20210159 that had me concerned.

While looking at the results for this WU, I noticed another user (host detail 70228) listed in the results. I then looked at this user's results page (results 70228) and was confused.

I understand that multiple users may be working on the same work unit at the same time, but I don't understand how an error can occur because of it. I don't really care about the results or credit for all it matters, but why perform a task if it isn't going to be of any use.

My concern pertains to the users results page. Is this a watchdog program? Is this theft of results or partial results to jump ahead of a user working on the same work unit?

Hi there i wonder if you could help me out?

Is there anyway i can get the team founder changed on my team(Scotland's Seti) as the team founder(Giles) isn't around anymore?
The founder member hasn't done any workunits for sometime and i would be quite happy to take on being the founder member as i am currently founder member on other projects, that of course is if its possible.

Best Regards

Snowdog

Going to post this now. But will not need the help for a little bit of time yet.
Would like to replace our Team Thread in the Team post. Can I get a moderator to work with on this. Just a simple repost of the newer team blurp.

Hi,
I have found that the process rosetta_5.24_windows_intelx86 is trying to enter M$ IP adress 207.46.248.241 => msdl.microsoft.com
Why?

I know MS have been helping the team with the Windows client. That url is for MS debugging tools? Perhaps it's connected with that? Just a guess.

Hello: I would like to draw your attention to a report of three WUs that have been sitting in my results account, long overdue, and errored out since early March. Thank you.

Someone need to look at this thread https://boinc.bakerlab.org/forum_thread.php?id=1944, it looks like there are some participants with runaway credits. This need to be looked into asap, because it causing some unfair credits given out.

Hello,

I am using a mac osx 4.6, Boinc manager 5.2.13.

I just reacently noticed that rosetta does not stop computing after being suspended. I have to force quiting the rosetta program (the equivilant of going to task manager in windows). I do not have this problem with bioncsimap. I am not sure why this is? should i download a new version of boinc manager??

thanks

Is it not a deadline problem? If the deadline in too short BOINC enters in panic mode and crunch first the WUs with the closer date.
