minirosetta 2.00 is now up.
The energy function optimization we've been working on for the last few month are now in.
This version also fixes some stability issues brought in by 1.98.

GPU support yet?? :D

The new BOINC version apparently likes my GPU and keeps requesting for work :(

Hi.

Is this right that the linux gnu is so big, at 31.4 MB that's huge

plus the new db file.

Espeacially if you have a lot of rigs, look out.

PPL has a point. Looks like both Linux versions are more then 4x larger then prior releases.

If this is the case I will wait until the size decreases again before I return to this project.

Have a crunching good day!!

speedy, I should clarify, we are talking about the download size of the new program version. It most likely is just due to a compiler parameter that incorporated some debug capabilities or something. So, it does not necessarily effect how much memory is required to run.

The concern would just be if you have very limited bandwidth available to perform the initial download. Or perhaps if you have very limited disk space available to BOINC.

Seems to work fine but the graphics lock up and need to be force quitted in activity monitor in OS X 10.6.1.

I'm on OS X 10.6.1 and the graphics are fine here (though I haven't left them running for very long -- did you experience a lock up after a long time?).

Did the disk space requirements for this new version change? I'm getting:
09-Nov-2009 09:09:12 [rosetta@home] Message from server: No work sent
09-Nov-2009 09:09:12 [rosetta@home] Message from server: There was work but you don't have enough disk space allocated.
09-Nov-2009 09:09:12 [rosetta@home] Message from server: An additional 8 MB is needed.

Disk tab in BoincMgr only says 10.2 MB used by BOINC, even after resetting the project. How much space needs to be free to run the project?

set the limit to 1 GB....

These mix_score12 WUs gave validate errors for both crunchers:

DJStarfox if you have Linux boxes, see the discussion previously in this thread about how the size of the executable seems to have increased significantly in version 2.00.

The cli command would display debug info
$ nm minirosetta_2.00_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
that is, the file has not being strip.

other improvement would be to used shared option
with prelink utility. That is, static linking is far from being optimal.
Here the CPU is quad core.

i would like to know also what is hapening with availability of client
for GPU hardware.

2.00 Works perfectly under Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

Including graphics.

Static linking is needed for portability. A non-static binary would probably not run properly on a lot of Linux machines.

This one had a validate error on both attempts.

Can it be that this version delivers somewhat less performance?
I'm down 20% since the introduction of the 2.00 version.

http://tadah.mine.nu/graphs/flushHistoryGraph.php?tabel=subteamoffset&prefix=rah&naam=BaDu&team=[DPC]DeApen
The introduction was on the 6th my queue has 3 days of work, so you can see the preformance decrease since running 2.00

Is there a way to switch back to 1.98?

The graph is not showing RAC but daily points over the last 7 days generated bij a stats engine.

The large increase to the executable size could be due to the inclusion of a number of protocols that has been developed over the last 2 years. Those protocols were not able to compile with the boinc build until now.
There shouldn't be any difference in running the tasks though, the only difference is the time it takes to update.

If this is the cause, then how did the Windows version get by without any noticeable increase in size?
