Again. I should suspend the Rosetta project altogether until this stops happening, right?


no...if it continues on those tasks specifically report it in the correct thread. it's just one of those bugs that shows up at random. I get those now and then. it's a pain in the backside, but thats just life in DC world.
keep on crunching, there will be others that are better.

this is odd...it ran about 75% of its time and came up with 0 decoys? and then stopped? what's up with that?


Boy, that *IS* odd. And it gave you credit too, that doesn't look like it was for an error. I'd have to guess that it did some work, then restarted the task and somehow the stderr info. got reset.

some more info behind this, at the time i was running rosie and einstein at 175/25 respectively. the cycle time is 60 min which i believe is the default?
so maybe it got interrupted and went to einstein and then came back and tripped up. still strange..no errors and no other info. maybe you guys can pull something on your end.

Another WU with extremely bad credit / CPU-time ratio:

https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/result.php?resultid=206839093

7.45 Credit for more than 7.5 hours of crunching!

I decided to wait until this has been sorted out before crunching more of these WU's, at least on this computer.

This error is becoming so widespread now (on non-Vista64 systems too] it really needs some dedicated attention.

Can we have some formal comment on it, even if it's just to say you haven't tracked down the source of the problem or a practical workaround? It's just frustrating otherwise.

Until it's solved I'm really struggling to see a reason why any Minis should be issued. I could double my output for the project (as could several others) if it was either solved or Beta 5.98 WUs were issued, which run 100% for me.

What's up with this compute error???
It seems to me that the file name is way too long to handle for WinXP! Isn't there a maximum file name length (including path) of 255 characters?
My disc space is definitely not full.

read this thread over in ufluids which references Dr. David Anderson. The article says:
-161 means there's a "dangling references" in your client_state.xml file, for example there's

<file_ref>
<name>foobar</name>
</file_ref>

but there's not <file_info> with name foobar.

It looks like the problem is that the ufluids app sometimes doesn't create all of its output files. I.E., the app finishes successfully but some of the output files don't exist. BOINC treats this as an error; the app must create all the files, even if they're empty.

same would apply to Rosie.

I have several of these loopbuild_minimalist_core3_homo_bench- .... tasks and several of them are way overtime... get to just under 10 minutes to go and stay that way for hours....

What could be up with these ???

All of my machines are Linux 2.6 kernels... Fedora/RedHat EL/CentOS


Looking for a team ??? Join BoincSynergy!!

It looks like this problem has been ongoing for several weeks. And not one word about it on the Rosetta project web site face page. I am glad my frustration and curiosity finally rose to the level that caused me to visit this forum.

I too, have 8 WU's of Mini 1.40 in progress for 15+ hours and stuck at above 98% completion, and still showing 9 hours 57 minutes left to completition. In fact the time-to-completion hasn't changed in over 10 hours.

One WU did complete in a timely fashion with a computation error.

I don't think my problem is for lack of RAM as I have 24GB installed. I am running Vista X64 on twin dual-core Xeons at 3.0GHz.

I have suspended all but one WU and I have bumped the task priority by two levels, just to see if I could hasten this one WU along. It doesn't seem to be helping as my CPUs are hardly even taxed at this point. So the problem does not seem to be a shortage of compute power. And I have over 1 Terabyte of free disk space. So it can't be for a lack of disk space either.

I am really at a loss of what to do here. Should I just abort them all and wait for the detectives to do the forensic thing and a fix to be implemented?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I just started crunching Rosetta and have 3 tasks running for over 3 hours now with 15 hours to go. I had to abort this morning that ran for well over 18 hours.
Is this normal? I had one task finish alright but took almost 18? hours. My task managershows minirosetta consuming 165000K for each of the 3 cores it is using.

your memory usage is in line with mine for a dual core.
time remaining, see my reply in your first question thread about newbie questions.
there are some things to check, if they are all ok, then let boinc manager learn its way around your system. it will settle down over time. also could you post links to the work units that you aborted. show what your cpu run time was set for and what the run time was when you aborted the task. also show what the stderr out message was or any other messages. people can comment on what they see from that data.

Rob,

Rosetta@home workunits seem to behave that way when they have a significant underestimate of the amount of CPU time they need to run. I had one about a week ago that needed about 19.5 hours to run, instead of the 6 hours length I was then asking for, but completed normally otherwise. Don't be surprised if the underestimate of the time it needs to run also gives you a rather poor ratio to credits received to credits requested. Also, these Minirosetta v1.40 workunits with such underestimates are also poor at recovering from restarting your machine after a shurdown or reboot. Earlier in this thread, you should find about 5 items in workunit names that indicate they are likely to have these problems - for example, zinc as part of the name.
