Run the project or don't.

I can only agree. They have bigger fish to fry than satisfying our curiosity at the moment.
We can quibble about it later.


They don't have bigger fish to fry.

New volunteers comming, don't see covid-WUs and disappear, because its not related to their interests.

Did we win? No.
So we, as old participants, and the rosetta-team should satisfy the curiosity.
Even if it's just to get the job done.

Relating to this project, we are trying to update Rosetta to the latest source so we can start running protein interface design jobs to design binders to COVID-19. This has already been done at a smaller scale on our local computing resources and we have some hopeful candidates that are already being worked on within the web lab.

Is time for a new R@H app?
Maybe, with this interest in R@H from people, it's better to test it largely on Ralph...

Using Android GPU is on the BOINC client roadmap at the main BOINC website. Not available yet.

Seems not
We're so grateful for our volunteer community:
• active users DOUBLED since late Feb
• 4 of our 10 best compute days EVER occurred in the last — (wait for it) — 4 days

And continuing to grow. They are now up to 400,000 GigaFLOPS.
They must have had plenty of reserve server capacity.

I just wanted to add a comment here about GPU. We'd love to use GPUs and we're well aware of how powerful they are, but making Rosetta work on GPUs isn't as easy as just updating the website and the BOINC infrastructure.

Running on GPUs requires code that at the very CPU instruction level is doing the same thing millions of times. Like rendering every pixel on a screen or calculating the hash of a cryptocurrency function millions of times.

The problem with the Rosetta code base (which I should remind is 3M lines of C++ code), is that it was written well before the thought of ever using GPUs. Rosetta is this beautiful objected-oriented programming playground where everything is just a pointer away with elegant recursive functions to make everything work and a super-fast monte-carlo simulated annealer to pick new amino acids. The problem is that everything I just described is inherently single-CPU, and trying to change this would involve rewriting the core of Rosetta.

Now, with that in mind, some of the big names in Rosetta code development started a project 2 years ago to get Rosetta to run on GPUs. As I said, this is a full rewrite from the ground up. They've made great progress and have gotten the score function and minimizer to work. But I think the packer gave them a bit of trouble. As I said, the packer is a long series of trial and error that simply doesn't parallelize well. I think they eventually settled on trying to design like 100 proteins at once rather than making it truly parallelizable.

But yes, we want GPUs just as bad as you do. And while we are making progress with the GPU Rosetta, they've only recreated about 1% of the whole infrastructure so far.

I do OpenCL coding for a living and I'm between jobs.

Any 2-3 weeks tasks?

To try and maximize my contribution to fighting SARS-CoV-2, I've adopted the approach of running R@h for CPU work, and running Folding@home for my GPUs

Much thanks to the R@h team!

I am doing the same. Here in the morning I could get 2 work units for F@H (Nothing afterward the people in the US wake up) and it uses only 10 percent of my CPU, the other approx 85% goes to Rosetta, when the F@H units finish, usually early in the afternoon here, that 10 also goes to Rosetta.

I am considering the options to use my old config as a rosetta dedicated machine in the future, however I do not have a PSU so this has to wait till the pandemic is over...

Unfortunately I don't think so. This is very much a long slough by the same people that wrote Rosetta the first two times. Much of the challenge here is trying to figure out how to redo the core algorithms but in parallel fashion (with performance being #1).

There might be GPU Rosetta jobs running someday, but they'll likely be doing very different tasks from what you see here. One of the goals of getting the GPUs going was for fast data-transfer to machine learning algorithms. So with that in mind, you might see some sort of deep-learning Rosetta thing in a few years.

The other issue with the GPU version is that like I said, there's a whole stack of science built on-top of the core code that would take thousands of hours to reproduce. The GPU version is very much a fork with different goals.

Pity, it sounded like a fun project. But i understand the answer after reading a bit on rosetta commons.

I wondered about the internal structure and found the page https://www.rosettacommons.org/docs/latest/rosetta_basics/structural_concepts/Rosetta-overview . The concept of interchangeable scoring functions and, i assume, interchangeable minimization procedures is a tough call for porting to the GPU. An efficient GPU implementation needs all those parts (Pose, MoveMap, Packer, scoring and the min-procedure) on the GPU, with a data structure adopted to GPU systems. Doing that is easy if all components are known, well maintained and no 3. party can add stuff. I can guess where the code comes from based on the papers and having worked with science people written high-performance code, that will not be fun.

That GPU-port will need to cut corners in some places. They can probably not get it all running in one go. As an advise from an internet stranger: pick the most commonly us

As a newcomer to BOINC with 2 laptops and 3 android devices running tasks - I appreciate that COVID-19 projects from the lab are labeled, and do wish all related to it were labeled as such, so I can prioritize those WUs manually, over others from Rosetta or other BOINC projects. I'm not upset about it - Rosetta has me running 4 COVID WU across my devices, and a bunch more in the queue. Thanks for standing up for us newbies - we're not all attention-seeking jerks ;)

There is another project that "folds proteins" and use GPU: https://www.gpugrid.net/
But they use CUDA, not OpenCL despite some attempts over the years to support OpenCL.
If you are interested, try to contacting them.
Thanks in advance.

That is not true, people have managed to crunch e.g. MilkyWay@Home using their Android GPU by means of the alternate platform. The Boinc Client can handle Mali GPUs at the very least:

Dirk, the post you quoted is referring to the Rosetta infrastructure, not the BOINC infrastructure. So, what other projects are doing is not directly related to what was being said.

This is the best approach in my opinion. GPU for Folding, CPU for Rosetta.

For me it makes little sense to do CPU for Folding since they can already do the same work with GPU which are way faster for that kind of work.
