.clair. and Peter, I can't do anything more for you.It works on LHC, it doesn't work on Rosetta, Rosetta is the weakest link. |

QuChemPediA isn't on gridcoin, I've joined Sidock, but there seems to be no GPU work. This might be because I reached a host task limit.I have another PC with a AMD Ryzen CPU and 24 GB RAM, but it runs mostly World Comminity Grid projects, like OpenPandemics-Covid-19, for obvious reasons, Mapping CancerMarkers and Africa Rainfall project.The project used to be managed by IBM, now by the Krembil Research Institute, Ottawa, Canada.Yes, mine is over there most of the time since Rosetta started playing up. I can't find any GPU (AMD) biology Boinc projects though. Covid on WCG had some for a time but not any more. |

I've seen no sign that SiDock has had any GPU work.Oh, that's what I was asking for. Nevermind, all my CPUs seem capable of it. What I really would like is my AMD GPUs to do biology through Boinc. At the moment they're on astrophysics, which seems to be well suited to GPUs. |

.clair. and Peter, I can't do anything more for you. Thankyou for giving it a shot, it duz sort of work so I will put up with whatever errors it chucks In the long run we are at the mercy of how the project has set vbox/python to run and it feels like beta software and the funky errors that go with it [that are a serious pain to find and fix] |

I got a few work units for a couple of days and now, no work units again for three or four days now. Just running other projects, I've tried everything I can think of. Reinstalled BOINC, reset the project etc. |

I've tried everything I can think of. Reinstalled BOINC, reset the project etc.Don't. The reason you're not getting any work is because there aren't any normal Rosetta 4.20 Tasks. When some is available, then that's when you get it. Grant Darwin NT |

Hi, yes, I would like to get it working on my i5 machine and the error I keep getting is 'VirtualBox jobs require hardware acceleration support - your processor does not support the required instruction set.' It looks like you need to boot into the bios / uefi control panel and enable virtualisation support. |

Bryan: he stated that in his post already: Virtualization is enabled in the BIOS, supported by the hardware, and Windows reports it as being on too. |

Hi, yes, I would like to get it working on my i5 machine and the error I keep getting is 'VirtualBox jobs require hardware acceleration support - your processor does not support the required instruction set.' Your having the same issue as .clair. and the other person. You seem to be catching buggy tasks. You have a access error which I explained recently and it also looks like they have a problem on their end. There are endless kinds of errors that don't seem to relate to your machine. Not a heck of a lot you can do about that if Vbox is correctly installed. But it also seems to think this:AMD-V is disabled in the BIOS (or by the host OS) (VERR_SVM_DISABLED) - double check that virtualization is on. Other than that....keep on trying maybe you will get something that works. I can't see how a Ryzen 5 can not support these jobs. That's not so different from my Ryzen 7. |

I've put all my machines back on Rosetta. If they return dodgy results, hopefully someone there will find out why. Meanwhile Sidock is getting results returned as fast as their overloaded server can hand them out. Thanks for letting me know about that one. |

Meanwhile Sidock is getting results returned as fast as their overloaded server can hand them out. Thanks for letting me know about that one. I was wondering why they were so slow to take back tasks. That's their own fault for such fast turn arounds and not enough bandwidth or processing power to store them. Not a bad thing to have. Means they are popular. |

They seem to be short of funds, they're asking for money on the homepage, it's in Slovenia which I gather isn't that rich a country. I'd donate but I'm short of cash too.I've put all my machines back on Rosetta. If they return dodgy results, hopefully someone there will find out why.

They have an apart GUI, so if that is returning mass amounts of data and BOINC is doing the same, well server overload. I doubt they have a GUI system server and a BOINC server system. And it appears the team is a joint Russian and Slovenian group of scientists. And they are still quite "fresh" to doing this kind of work. |

They have actually been doing quite well, through a couple of contests. But the short work units of the current batch are more than they planned for. I think they are near the end however, and probably don't want to reduce the workflow now. |

To stop receiving the Pythons, go to your computer list on your Rosetta account page ( or copy-paste this link https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/hosts_user.php ), click on details and click Skip where it says VirtualBox VM jobs. Falconet: Thanks for the info on no available Rosetta and MiniRosetta jobs. I am running one Python task at a time so I do not run into resource issues. That is, I run another BOINC project's task at the same time that does not use a lot of memory. So I am still crunching! I could not find anything in Preferences related to: "VirtualBox VM jobs" on either General or Rosetta Preferences. No worries. |

Thanks for your efforts to help, Greg. I've decided to just wait it out - because on the machines that I am sure have virtualization enabled (couple of i5s), I get an error saying VirtualBox jobs are not supported by my hardware and got no tasks And on the machine that I'm not sure has virtualization enabled (Ryzen 5 3600), I got a bunch of VBox jobs and Rosetta v4.20 jobs one time where all 11 of them errored out instantly. Rosetta v4.20 jobs are supposed to be free of the virtualization problem, right? All 3 of these machines are working well on WCG and SiDock@home - and I can't take any of them offline right now to restart them and find out what's going wrong, particularly when there's a chance that the tasks I happen to be catching are themselves buggy. I've still configured 2 of them to get Rosetta@home tasks, and I guess I'll set up both of them to avoid VBox jobs as well. Fingers crossed! |

I see Sidock gave me a load of Eprot tasks, which are 15 times longer than the 3CLpro ones. According to the server status there's just a bit of each to get done. I've sent a private message to the "admin" user in here to see if they'll come and check this thread and work out why a lot of us are having difficulty with the pythons. Not sure if that mailbox is read. It's the account that posts news articles and removes off topic posts. |
