They just switched to 5.36. There's still 5.34 wus being issued apparently. It's kind of like a bubble gum vending machine, just because you poured in a bunch of new blue ones the other colors are still at the bottom being dispensed.

> All I know Soren is that once I turned off the graphics my machine has been working fine. With them on the computer goes slow, locks up and does very little work, needing a reboot half the time.
Only been happening since Rosetta 5.32 and now 5.34. Also happens in Ralph@home.

Hi Soren,

Even though you have your BOINC manager set to Run Always, be sure you have this setting in your General Preferences (in your account settings):

Do work while computer is in use? = YES

??Maybe it's because Rosetta is such a "cool" project! :-) ??

hehehe... I think you're right. No, actually it was because I didn't have the "Always Run" option turned on.

...which indicates that you were either "suspend" or run based on preferences. And so it begs the question... what preferences did you set? These would be found in the "General preferences". There are some for hours of day when you want BOINC to run. You can also set hours of day for network acitivity (handy to keep the network free during the day at work!).

While you are there, you may want to review and set so that you "Leave applications in memory while suspended?" (i.e. set it to YES).

??Maybe it's because Rosetta is such a "cool" project! :-) ??

I'm having a problem with R@H as well. My problem is that I set the program up to use 100% of the CPU (which, according to SPeedfan, it is doing), and I leave the program to do its work on a job that it says should take 4 hours CPU time. However, after about 30 minutes of working at full load, it says that it has only completed 1 minute 30 seconds worth of CPU Time. What's up with that? I have ZoneAlarm and AVG Antivirus working on my computer at the same time, is it a conflict with one of these programs?

Soren,welome to Rosetta!

I. (Assuming that you meant to say that after 30 minutes CPU Time, the task was showing only a bit more than 1% complete):
Some time ago, longer tasks would appear to be "stuck" at one percent, so the project developers changed the Rosetta application to increase the percent complete from 1.000% by small amounts so that people would not become concerned that the task was "stuck". If this is the case, on the graphic display/ screensaver you will see that the tassk is still working on Model 1. The percentage complete will be updated more realistically after tbe first model is completed.

II. (If you actually *did* intend to say that the task has used only 1.50 seconds of CPU time in a half hour (as measured by a watch or clock), then you can use the Windows Task Manager under the "Processes" tab to check the Rosetta task to see if it's using CPU. Also, check the "General Preferences" and "Rosetta preferences" from your Rosetta Account web page. In particular, check the General preference for "Do work while Computer is in use". If this is set to "No", then Rosetta will suspend itself (stop working) anytime you are working with the computer (typing, using mouse), and for some time afterward. There are also other conditions that must be satisfied in order for Rosetta to run. These are to provide limitations on Rosetta, if necessary, so that it cannot interfere with other work by, say, slowing response times. However, I have Rosetta set to run all the time and never have seen any significant slow-down on other work I do. (Well, perhaps rendering video might be affected, but few more typical tasks like web browsing, word processing, or email).

Note: you can also use the BOINC Manager "Activity" tab to tell Rosetta to "Run Always". This overrides the "Preferences".

There are many, many people here that really want to help you perform your best and have fun, too. Always feel free to post questions and comments!

Again, welcome! Happy Rosetta crunching!

Soren, did you install Boinc while under the Administrator windows login and then is that where you're operating the manager now? How did you install boinc? Single user, Shared, or Service?

http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/results.php?userid=38837
I'm still reporting about 86,400 seconds of crunching around every 86,400 seconds. (Losing about 5 mins a day?)

Where are you seeing that Rosetta is only getting 1min 30 seconds of cpu time every 30 mins? Is that from Boinc, from windows task manager, or some other program?

And if you pull up the windows task manager.. what process or processes is/are getting the most cpu time?

Looks like most of your results are showing the same file access error on your stderr out:

core_client_version>5.4.11</core_client_version>
<message>
CreateProcess() failed - The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. (0x20)
</message>

Yes I would report this on the "Report Problems With 5.34" thread.
