This is normal and described in this faq about the runtime preference. The % complete for Rosetta is not as definate and easy to compute as some other projects. A given WU will run through as many complete models as possible. Given the percentages in your example, once it completed the first model (see the model number on the graphic) it estimated it would get about 3 more models completed before it reaches your runtime preference. Each completed model is what the scientists need for their work. What happens within a model is not as important. But the additional updates to the % complete were basically added to help diagnose any problems with a given set of WUs.

I have a Prescott-based machine that I run Rosetta, Einstein, LHC, and SETI on. None of the other projects have any problems, but Rosetta is about 50% errors. Today alone I had two:

Unrecoverable error for result HOMOLOG_ABRELAX_hom007_t283__505_33607_1 ( - exit code-1073741811 (0xc000000d))

Unrecoverable error for result JUMP_RELAX_LONGRANGEPAIR_FORCESTRAND_t285__SAVE_ALL_OUT_550_36800_0 ( - exit code-1073741811 (0xc000000d))

It only seems that the errors come up when the screensaver is running, not when it's just running in the background as I do other things. My machine runs two units at a time and has 512MB ram. Anyone have any idea why I'm getting these problems in Rosetta?

Yup, I have an AMD64 3700 which has the same problems with ralph 5.12 and 5.16, and Rosetta 5.16. When I run the screensaver, and leave the machine alone. Windows fatal error, if I keep working with it, so that the screensaver never comes on, successful results. When I turn OFF screensaver, successful results.

Turn OFF screensaver. They are aware of this error and have asked Rom Waltons assistance. I offered Rom my help, which he's not accepted.

PS, I have two other puters which work just fine with the screensaver on.

Two recent errors because I used the Boinc view graphics button. The WUs complete successfully if I never view the graphics - I have the Boinc screensaver turned off.

Resultid21972244 (Workunit18429646)

It means that the watchdog function placed to prevent Wu's stuck in time IS WORKING as it is supposed to do. I imagine that that unit and the ones where the watchdog is terminating the processing ( and there are some few recently) will be analyzed to see what is happening that is causing the watchdog to work.

Thanks for the heads up--we'll look into this right away

Thanks to your helpful messages, we've tracked down the rare bug that's causing this in the code and fixed it. The fix will be included in the next release. Great job all!

Luckily we only sent out 5000 of these bad WUs (A very small number compare to the 120,000 done everyday) and about a third of them were affected. You will still get credits for those jobs killed by the watchdog when our credit-grantor runs nightly!

Hit 100% at around 12 hours (normal). Then stayed there using a slot and not running for 6 hours -- still 100%, no more cpu time being used.

I had many errors with FRA_t301_hom028_1_LOOPRLX_IGNORE_THE_REST recently. Probably Rosetta needed to use more than 300MB RAM and system was out of memory. I've got two different error codes: -1073741819 (0xc0000005) and -1073741571 (0xc00000fd) .

Looks like it might be prudent to take this computer off of Rosetta. It has well below the minimum 500mb recommended, and it is probably not fair to the project to have all these units abort because of that... Just a thought!

This one is running well, but it is using more memory than any that I have observed: A peak of 318 MB.

Yes, I took it off Rosetta immediately. And also other computer with 256MB RAM. New workunits are taking A LOT of RAM. I've seen Rosetta using 375MB recently. So I recommend everyone with less than 512MB to be carefull.

If you're getting repeated errors like that, perhaps it'd be a good idea to run Ralph on that machine. Let them track down the source of the errors - and either correct the code, or have Rosetta instantly fail such WUs and state, "not enough Ram for this WU." Someday, we'll hopefully have a client that will tell the server how much ram we have on our machine, and get WUs that will run with that amount of Ram.

My air-cooled dual core AMD is slowly dying. Is the data still good in this unit? It bothers me that a bad machine might poison the result. How did the following WU validate with those errors? Was it restarting from an earlier checkpoint?
