1) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems and Technical Issues with Rosetta@home (Message 107282) Posted 12 Oct 2022 by smcdougal Post: Just had Acronis Active Protection report rosetta_4.20_windows_x86_64.exe and several related files as "Possible ransomware". Anyone else see this?
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Compute Error? (Message 34119) Posted 4 Jan 2007 by smcdougal Post: <i>Well the screensaver is a bit of a waste of CPU time on every project... there is the 'show graphics' option to see how things are going on.</i> hmm. I had watched my CPU cycles with the task manager with the Show Graphics both on and off and didn't see any noticable difference in the number of cycles being used by the project, for the few projects I had tested that with. I assumed that the screensaver graphics computation stuff was being handed off to my GPU to deal with so it wouldn't affect the actual project. Maybe I'm wrong about how that part works though.
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Compute Error? (Message 33985) Posted 3 Jan 2007 by smcdougal Post: I actually just updated the drivers last night, before the crash this morning. I honestly am not sure how the screensaver could be causing the crash (i figured it was just a symptom), but I suppose I could do that. Is it possible to disable the screensaver for only one project though?
4) Message boards : Number crunching : Compute Error? (Message 33960) Posted 2 Jan 2007 by smcdougal Post: The last (at least) 4 work units I've had have finished with Compute Errors after running for a couple of hours. Usually the screen saver has crashed on my computer as well. Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? It seems like a waste of my time to compute for almost 9 hours just to have a compute error over and over. also, the error in my messages reads: 1/2/2007 1:16:20 PM\|rosetta@home\|Unrecoverable error for result s028__BOINC_ABRELAX_NEWRELAXFLAGS_hom001__1461_26280_0 ( - exit code 1073807364 (0x40010004))
