i just noticed that after a reboot the correct time already spent for that workunit is shown. but after the restart of that workunit it is reset to zero. and also the percentage done went from 83.xx down to 75%. maybe this helps the devs. greetz, pe. ![]() ![]() |

Resetting of cpu time to zero also happens if Boinc it's doing benchmarks. Application in progress will be removed from memory and if this is rosetta, then cpu time is zero after benchmarks. Just saw that on my linux box. The last WU that I processed involved a BOINC benchmark running in the middle of the WU. It dumped the WU out of memory like it should and brought it back after the benchmarking was completed without losing any of the CPU time. Looks like they fixed that problem. |

yup that happened to me the other day and it just started back where it had finished Join us in Chat (see the forum) Click the Sig ![]() Join UBT |

decided to try again. suspended my other 2 projects and started rosetta. success! finished in 8+ hours. ;) |

decided to try again. suspended my other 2 projects and started rosetta. success! finished in 8+ hours. ;) Same here, with the optimised app (4.76). Took only 2 hours and 25 minutes on my Athlon XP 3000+. Looking good. *** Join BOINC@Australia today *** |

With new 4.76 app 5:30h for one WU on a 3,2Ghz P4. Nice to see that without any errors but checkpoints are too high (1h) I think. It would be better after 10min. |

With the new 4.76 1) 1h 36 min 2) 1h 30 min 3) 1h 34 min no errors Barton 3200+ Win2k CC 4.32 |

After running a few WUs through my machines, I'm seeing a range of 4 to 4 1/2 hours per WU. Machines are "rescued" Dell GX110s w/CPU speed of 933meg and 256meg RAM, using Win2000Pro for OS. Cannot cycle between Rosetta and other projects without Rosetta erroring out, so these machines are banging away 100% until I set "no new work". |

With the 1200 mhz AMD, 512 ram, WinXP PC I run Rosetta on, I've been able to cycle Rosetta with other projects with no problems at all. |

Cannot cycle between Rosetta and other projects without Rosetta erroring out, ... Please excuse my incomplete comment. I meant to indicate that I could not switch between BOINC projects without losing the Rosetta WU. Normal operation of the machine complete with other tasks such as Word, Excel, etc. work fine, including play of "recreational" programs. |

It might be a memory issue seeing as you only have 256MB of RAM and 512MB is recommended. ![]() |

512 is the reccomendation. I'm running dozens of machines with 128, and while they take a long time, they finish. The new wu's also take a lot less memory, somewhere between 50 and 100 rather than 200+. |

With a celeron 1.8 GHz processor, 496 mg of RAM, and windows xp, it takes about 4 hours a work unit, about 4.5 hours if BOINCing with another project. ![]() |

Mine took about 36 hours on a 1200 mhz AMD with WinXP and 512 ram. Using Linux have only had "Computation errors" and using my Valuable Time I could be giving to an Experiment that will send me info "Why" or "What" I can do to eliviate this Issue. I have nearly 800 RAM and there should not be only Errors,unless Linuxos is not supported? Sluger1138 ![]() |

With a celeron 1.8 GHz processor, 496 mg of RAM, and windows xp, it takes about 4 hours a work unit, about 4.5 hours if BOINCing with another project. On further experience, it takes much longer if BOINCing because the unit keeps going back and starting over again at a previous point. The total time spent on the work unit also goes back. The temporary solution is to suspend other projects until I completely finish all Rosetta units as it takes too long otherwise. The client is stable, however, and this seems like a great project with a direction and purpose I do not see at other protein folding projects. I am confident that with more waypoints the program will be able to run smoothly with other projects. ![]() |

I am confident that with more waypoints the program will be able to run smoothly with other projects. I had the same problem with my Macs. The solution was to extend the time for switching between projects from 60 minutes, to 120 or 180 minutes under general preferences. This way the next step is able to complete. Of course there may still be some fall back on each switch between projects, but it has less of an impact. Right now though, all my computers are crunching strictly Rosetta.
