I seem to have one computer which generates a lot of workunits with above error. Always the same error, but at different moments in the workunit. Maybe the project researchers could look into it. The computer's name in the computer list is Megaflix. It's got at least a 25% failure rate, but it's still climbing. I've installed a fresh Windows, with no software at all. Just for testing I installed only Boinc with Rosetta and it keeps producing the errors.

Leave applications in memory has been set to yes since the beginning, so that's not an issue. I had set the work units to run for 2 hours, but since it produced errors almost from the start I set it lower, to 1 hour. It decreased the number of errors just a little bit, but not much.

Might be handy in trying to find a cure for this error.

I'm willing to use the computer as a testing guinee pig if you want to...

Cab you attach this computer to RALPH. It might help to see those errors over there.

Hi James, we have been trying to do something along these lines-- every evening we are posting a new result in the "top predictions" section, with an acknowledgement of the finder, which I then explain in the journal. do you think we should instead post the prediction on the main page where it is more visible?

A rotating daily Top Prediction of the Day (TPD), similar to user of the day, would probably be neat. (I would not be opposed to replacing user of the day with top prediction of the day, but I am not sure how others would feel about that)

From these, you could select the Top Prediction of the Month (TPM).

If I somehow got the top prediction of the day, I would appreciate it being available to me forever in my result or profile page.

e.g.
Awarded the Top Prediction of the Day on DD-MM-YY for [protein name and link to graphics]

I see you democrats continue to knowingly lie through your teeth. You try to shove your lying down everyones throuts. You must think people are really stupid not to know its federal funding that will not be used and to deliberrately lie about what Stem cell research is showing promise and what stem cell research is pie in the sky. Of course you lie about it along with other things because the truth does not serve your hate. Federal money will not be used but any private enterprise can fund it. Absolutely no mention from you about real provern effects in Adult stem cells being conducted know. You want federal money poured down a rat hole where no science shows promise yet.

Congratulations on the milestone you're about to reach. My wife is 1/2 Dutch(No, that doesn't mean you can have 1/4 our computers crunching for you.)

Keep crunching from your friends at TPR.

I've got my first graphic workunit now :) i saw it in the queue, so I suspended all other workunits, just to see the graphic one :)

looks amazing, although I haven't got a clue what exactly I'm looking at in the scientific way.

Well, this reply will do one of two things. It'll make me look like a candidate for David Baker's team, or it'll make me look like a complete idiot. :)

It's also important to note that all I've seen is the graphic above posted by Jack, so I'm really trying to interpret that.

That being said, my understanding is that the long colored "string" that wiggles round is the protein we care about at the moment. It's wiggling round, and as it does so the two graphs at the side change.

One shows the energy that's contained in the molecule, we'd like to get that as low as possible. The other shows the RMSD, which I'm not sure exactly what that stands for. My GUESS, and I must emphsize that this is only an educated guess, is that it stands for Root Mean Square Distance. Whatever the case, I believe that it's a metric for how spread out (?) the molecule is. Again, smaller is better.

Each time we get a pair of positions in those two graphs, they map to the third graph, and add a spot. The ideal situation is to get a spot as close as possible to the lower left corner, because that's where the molecule will land in reality. If we get there, then we should have found the shape that this molecule assumes, and doing that is a large part of what we're after.

OK, so that is my (short) paper on the subject, I'm curious to know how it'll get graded. :)

Does it still automatically download new work units and upload back the finished ones? Or do you have to do it yourself using the Boinc Manager?

Yes it does. Boinc Manager (boincmgr.exe) is just a gui front end (like Boinc View). Boinc.exe is the actual client. In fact, if you have open your task manager you'll notice that if you start boincmgr.exe it will start a boinc.exe process. So really all I'm doing is starting boinc.exe manually. Once boinc.exe is running I can use boinc manager (or boinc view) to manager my client.

Note: if you start boinc.exe manually, you should use the -redirectio flag. Also, when you start it manually a cmd/dos window pops up, if you use -redirectio you can close it, otherwise without the -redirectio flag all trace output will be sent to the cmd/dos window.

There's no specific option to just install a command line bonic client.

What I do is install the client in Single user mode (I'm the only one using my computers), but I don't have it start at windows start up. I then create a short cut which starts boinc.exe not boincmgr.exe, and then I put that shortcut in my startup directory.

It's not a perfect solution, but it works for me.

Many of your errors do look to be a different kind though:
"CreateProcess() failed - The system cannot find the file specified. (0x2)"

could be some of the early graphic beta units that missed the glut32.dll? (not sure, never had one of those myself)

Well it's nice to see my bud's here.
Let's Rock.....:D

Indeed, RT! Onward and Upward!

DPC : Don't let us get to far ahead before you jump in. :)
