Could you copy/paste the message you were seeing? Also, I wanted to confirm which direction the file was heading when you had problems. From Rosetta to your PC is a "download"... to send the result from your PC back to Rosetta is an "upload". Since many people misuse the terms, I just wanted to be sure. Add this signature to your EMail: Running Microsoft's "System Idle Process" will never help cure cancer, AIDS nor Alzheimer's. But running Rosetta@home just might! https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/ ID: 31815 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

At that point the task had completed and was "Uploading" just before the "Ready to report" message normally appears in the Status column of the tasks page.

Work units that hog the resources of a computer are UNACCEPTABLE! This is the second time in a few months that Rosetta has messed up on the production (not Ralph) site. One more time and I shall pull my support of Rosetta. Edit: I think I have another system out there that has been hung for 29 days but since you seem to purge results going back that far, I cant tell if its Rosetta that's the problem. I am not scheduled to visit that site for another 3 weeks, so it looks like that system is useless to ALL BOINC projects until I can clear you out. A scary thought is that some of my remote computers are hyper-threaded, or have multi-processors. A Rosetta task could take down one of the cores and yet the computer will still report into projects and I won’t be able to tell. ID: 31826 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Mike, the computer you reference has only 128 MB of RAM. I have a small laptop crunching Roseta that has only 168 MB, and for some work units, it can take a very long time to show progress. Also, you might want to check the amount of cache and increase it if possible. I try to run around 1 GB on the laptop. It's slow, but persistent! :-) ID: 31855 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I'm talking about CPU time accumulated. It froze at 20 seconds. Edit: Thanks for pointing out the 128 issue. I have detached this computer from the project.

As a single core computer this meant that nothing else processed till I aborted the workunit, so 5 days lost production. https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/result.php?resultid=47666358 Unhandled Exception Detected... - Unhandled Exception Record - Reason: Breakpoint Encountered (0x80000003) at address 0x77F75A58 Engaging BOINC Windows Runtime Debugger...
