Hello everybody.

I get computation errors (exit code 11) in all Junior_HalfRoid_design5_COVID-19 tasks I'm crunching on Android 5.0.2, Boinc 7.4.53, Rosetta v4.20 arm-android-linux-gnu, CPU ARMv7 Processor rev 0 (v7l). Previously, when runnin rosetta v4.16 this same device whas crunching those tasks with no issues. Anyone has this same behaviour?

Thank you.


Those jobs appear to have some issues. People have reported that if the job restarts, it can cause an error. We'll look into this but since it's somewhat rare we are continuing these jobs.

Can you configure R@h to use only 1 cpu for your device and see if that helps?

There are a few large proteins that were submitted recently that are error prone. They should clear the queue soon as they complete.

The Rosetta android application was used for this study:

http://science.sciencemag.org/content/358/6369/1461/

There are a number of researchers working on the next android application update related to RNA folding and cyclic-peptide design. Hopefully the app will be updated soon and a new batch of workunits will be available.

If there are no tasks available, there just isn't any work to be done at that moment in time.

I think both issues have been resolved now. The user of the day should now have at least a RAC of 1. If there are any other issues feel free to contact me directly at dekim at uw dot edu

I'll look into this. It's likely due to modelling we are doing for a collaboration with SSGCID. https://www.ssgcid.org/

What work units are having issues? It may be specific to the particular job(s). Maybe a large protein? Or particular score filters that are failing more often than usual for the particular protein. Or maybe boinc checkpointing is not properly implemented for the particular protocol.

The core molecular modeling software is developed, tested, and used by many academic institutions around the world through the Rosetta Commons. Rosetta is freely available to academics including the source code. I would not jump to a conclusion that the issues you mention may also reflect the science.

I've just alerted the lab about the empty queue. I'm sure there will be plenty of jobs submitted soon.

R@h was used for this research. Most of the computations were from android devices. I'll post a news item on Monday.

It may not be passing the https://www.stopforumspam.com/ filter for some reason.

I couldn't find my username or e-mail address on that list. This e-mail address is less than a month old.


More info about this and other BOINC spam filtering options is posted here:

https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/ProtectionFromSpam


I'm not the one in charge of the Rosetta@home server, so I wouldn't know what BOINC spam filtering options you are using. Perhaps you could take a look and let us know? I'd really like to know if ProtonMail is blacklisted for some reason, or if there's just a whitelist of "trusted" e-mail domains that ProtonMail just never got added to.


I'll look into it further tomorrow when I get into lab. We are using the default BOINC server spam filter which uses stopforumspam.com. No other filter is used. stopfurumspam.com uses your IP address and email to validate. I'm not sure what the repercussions would be if I turn off this validation step but if the result is a bunch of spam, I'd prefer to keep it. One option would be to add your email address to a trusted list on our server and add logic to use the list in the validation routine. I can work on this tomorrow if necessary. Sorry for this inconvenience. We'll get it working for you.

There is a lull in jobs being submitted by Baker lab researchers. I sent out an alert that the queue is nearly empty. There should still be Robetta jobs trickling in from the public structure prediction server.
