1) Message boards : Number crunching : 1 percent status and Time to Completion (Message 38552) Posted 29 Mar 2007 by Mod.Tymbrimi Post: Bzag00, if you or others didn't notice it, according to Rhiju's post here, Rosetta v5.55 will show a better estimate of percentage of work done. Soon, the 1.xx% until the first decoy is finished will join the Rosetta option where it would run a set number (10?) of decoys and then call home for more work. I.e. be used in the "I remember when" type threads.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : To completion goes up (Message 37775) Posted 14 Mar 2007 by Mod.Tymbrimi Post: If you're working on a large WU, it can take a long time to update the status. 1% or 1.024% are not actual percentage measurements of the work done. The .024 means that it's at the 24th step in the creation of your first decoy. Once you finish your first decoy, Rosetta gives you an actual estimate based on the time taken to create your first decoy and your run time setting. If your run time setting is 4 hours, and the first decoy took 2 hours, it will state that it's 50% done. If nothing happens for a sufficiently long time period, the watchdog process will terminate that WU, and start the next WU. It sounds like you weren't patient enough. vp10__BOINC_ABRELAX_cterm_hom002__1581_17304 is this the WU you terminated (on the 11th), or is there another one that you aborted today?
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Windows Vista issues (Message 36406) Posted 9 Feb 2007 by Mod.Tymbrimi Post: Any other problems noted or suggestions to make Rosetta work better under Vista?
4) Message boards : Number crunching : Every package quits with a calculation error (Rechenfehler) (Message 35644) Posted 27 Jan 2007 by Mod.Tymbrimi Post: Moved this thread from science forum.
5) Message boards : Number crunching : Does it support freebsd? Yes. [solved] (Message 35589) Posted 27 Jan 2007 by Mod.Tymbrimi Post: Because I moved it, renaming was actually an option. I'll see about having it linked in the FAQ. I look forward to seeing Sony stop back in and tell us they've got it working on Freebsd as well. Thanks for the effort, Alpha.
6) Message boards : Number crunching : Dodgy wu's? (Message 35355) Posted 23 Jan 2007 by Mod.Tymbrimi Post: I passed this on to the programming team. Hopefully they can track down the source of the errant WUs, remove them from the queue and replace them with good ones quickly.
7) Message boards : Number crunching : Does it support freebsd? Yes. [solved] (Message 35050) Posted 18 Jan 2007 by Mod.Tymbrimi Post: moved from science forum. Which flavors of Linux/Unix aren't supported? And are there tricks to getting it to run under those OSes that aren't directly supported?
8) Message boards : Number crunching : Some crashes (Message 34914) Posted 16 Jan 2007 by Mod.Tymbrimi Post: Thread moved from Science forum.
9) Message boards : Number crunching : Problem attaching to Rosetta (Message 34256) Posted 7 Jan 2007 by Mod.Tymbrimi Post: I moved the tech support discussion in the "no communication" thread in the Science forum into this thread. Let's help get these 2 win98 machines back to running Rosetta. How many spots can you stop Rosetta in the Boinc client? I remember having troubles switching from 100% Rosetta to 100% Ralph and back.
10) Message boards : Number crunching : Rosetta Screen Saver Lockup (Message 32239) Posted 7 Dec 2006 by Mod.Tymbrimi Post: This thread moved from the Science forum as suggested. Note that Chu and the Rosetta programming team are looking for detailed reports to help track down the cause of these Rosetta screen saver errors.
11) Message boards : Number crunching : Compressing Rosetta Executables (Message 31919) Posted 1 Dec 2006 by Mod.Tymbrimi Post: Moved this thread out of the Rosetta 5.41 error thread.
12) Message boards : Number crunching : Report problems with Rosetta version 5.36 (Message 30404) Posted 1 Nov 2006 by Mod.Tymbrimi Post: reported by Rhiju in Rosetta App Version Release Log "In Rosetta 5.3.6: The workunits with varying bond geometry were slow in the previous release, and led to some very uneven crediting. We've put in features that significantly accelerate those workunits. There are also fixes that will allow us to test more accurate energy functions. There are some fixes for graphics to make the native fold always show up. Finally, we're trying out a new output format that will enable us to send back results for designed proteins (e.g., for HIV vaccines) in compressed format.

Give links to the WUs that had the errors you're talking about. If your computers are "hidden" consider making them visible while your system is having problems. If you've tried a few diagnostic steps, please mention them. If you're running unusual software or unusual hardware that might possibly cause windows problems then please mention it. For diagnosing.. too much information is much better than too little.
13) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : Moderator contact thread archive (Message 29661) Posted 19 Oct 2006 by Mod.Tymbrimi Post: Sorry, this is not a reply to the message. I get the error message that my computer is over comitted. Therefore I believe I need to remove a project from GridRepublic/BOINC. After consideration, I decided to 'give Rosetta the axe'. The DETACH tab is 'blanked' and (of course) does not respond. How can I work around this to remove ROSETTA from my projects? Thanks, Pete There's been a few discussions about projects being labeled as overcommitted in the Number Crunching forum. Before disconnecting from Rosetta, you might want to ask about the over committed status in the Number Crunching forum. They can help identify if it's a Boinc 5.4.11 issue, having a project on your list that hasn't had any work for weeks, etc. Or identify settings you may need to change so you manage to finish more Rosetta WUs without errors. To stop work being downloaded for a project, you can do what I did to Ralph. Change it to "no new work" status.
14) Message boards : Number crunching : Report problems with Rosetta version 5.32 (Message 29611) Posted 19 Oct 2006 by Mod.Tymbrimi Post: Prior to being moved here, Ace's original thread title mentioned that it kept crashing at 23.42%. Can the programmers tell us what is happening at step 42? And why it didn't give the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything?
15) Message boards : Number crunching : out of work (Message 29188) Posted 11 Oct 2006 by Mod.Tymbrimi Post: Passed this on to the Rosetta Team, so there's probably someone at the download server trying to teach the NIC how to speak Internet again. <attempt at humor> We should get a response here when they've tracked down the problem, and given us a batch of error free WUs to download.
16) Message boards : Number crunching : download errors (Message 29186) Posted 11 Oct 2006 by Mod.Tymbrimi Post: This has been passed on to the Rosetta Team, so we should be getting a response when it's taken care of.
17) Message boards : Number crunching : Issues with new WUs? (Message 29185) Posted 11 Oct 2006 by Mod.Tymbrimi Post: This was passed on to the Rosetta Team. In case they didn't spot the "download errors" thread and this thread already.
18) Message boards : Number crunching : Rosetta 5.25 - VPU Lockup, Unclearable Hardware Fault (Message 28652) Posted 29 Sep 2006 by Mod.Tymbrimi Post: WolfDragon: Passed this on in case they don't spot it here first. From a troubleshooting FAQ from a game: Have you tried a newer video driver? Have you tried an older video driver? Have you run a video ram test? (Can someone suggest a trusted video card testing software that can be downloaded?)
19) Message boards : Number crunching : Closed to all, but those with stinky feet (Message 28626) Posted 28 Sep 2006 by Mod.Tymbrimi Post: Now is probably a good time to remind people of the saying, "Don't sweat the little stuff. <long pause> It's all little stuff."
20) Message boards : Number crunching : credit/hour how much is possible?? (Message 28400) Posted 24 Sep 2006 by Mod.Tymbrimi Post: Thanks for spotting that, DCDC. I've passed it on.
