Is there a Solaris application in the works?
(Message 3741)
Posted 20 Nov 2005 by  FZB
Post: there will be no sooner a solaris version (due to lack of equipment when i remember correctly) than the source code is made available, which was delayed due to cheating issues. you might watch the "opening the source code" (out of my head, might be named slightly different) thread to get the latest news. |

Post: Thanks. I am using MS IE which does not have a Reload button. The only way I could get an up to date view was delete all Temporary Internet Files in Tools > Options. This does not happen with any other website. hold down CTRL while pressing F5 forces IE to reload that page while ignoring the cache. |

Post: Would it be possible to download with each graphic wu the lowest energy level and rmsd found so far by users, so that we can see how far we are away and whether we found something lower? hmm, you could only consider those returned results at the moment when the wu is created which is some time before it's send out. not sure how big the timeframe is in average. |

Client Error
(Message 3568)
Posted 18 Nov 2005 by FZB
Post: Many of your errors do look to be a different kind though: could be some of the early graphic beta units that missed the glut32.dll? (not sure, never had one of those myself) |

Post: worked flawless on my system (vista b1, gfx7800), only thing i noticed is if you scale the "show graphics" window smaller, text starts to get printed over each other in the lower panel, but that's just a cosmetic thing i don't really mind. |

Post: in theory you will gain a little time when you manually assign the 2 processes each to one cpu, but as you would need to do it with every new wu (every ~2h) i don't think it is worth it (the gain is maximal in the timeframe of minutes). even with the 2 wu's assigned to a specific cpu, you still have context switches in the cpu as there are still other processes running that need cpu time. |

Post: http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/T/Transcription.html here is a link that discuss about others splicing, but it is not exactly the most non-technical approach, i see if i find something more detailed/easy to read later today one part where splicing is essential for human surviving is the immune response, we could never produce all the various antibodies if it was not for splicing and recombination of the different "partial" coded pieces. |

Post: there are other projects that use rosetta/robetta for specific protein structure search (e.g. for cures, but they are not necessarily upen dc projects), this projects basicly tries to improve the search method. if i remember correct, baker lab as such is doing specific searches as well (i think they got funds for some HIV related research just recently) and we might get some of that to crunch later, too, but its not the top priority of this boinc project. |

Post: imagine a joint like your knee, you can try to twist it in thousands of ways, however, the less pain you feel the more likely it is that it will actually bend that way. in proteins, you have lots of sections that can bend around different ways. the best way/the most likely way it folds is the one that uses least energy (=kinda pain). ok, i admit thats not the best analogy but maybe the idea came across nevertheless. rosetta tries to improve methods to predict how it will fold without observing it first. |

Post: that looks nice, lot's of 2U servers... actually looks like the place i want to call home :D @kel: depends on your time but making your experience with configuring the boinc server infastructure available might help future boinc projects which sounds like a good idea to me (though i bet most projects will not build a top notch fileserver due to budget ;) ) |

reached daily quota of 3 results ??????
(Message 2931)
Posted 12 Nov 2005 by FZB
Post: boinc has a build in function to decrease your daily quota if your host returns many bad results, returning valid results increase it again (server side). so best thing is to find out what goes wrong and then it the qurum shoud increase again. no linux box running but most common errors were if you had an too old boinc manager version installed on your end or if you don't have set your preferences to keep app in memory. |

Post: you might want to add user stats values in the lower third where you have the text in a later release once everything runs smooth, think most projects include it in their screensafer. but yes, have to agree with all the others, looks really nice and interesting |

Posted 11 Nov 2005 by FZB
Post: always glad to hear that the source will be made available. you mean the BOINC manager or the science apps? optimizing the science app should speed up things, optimizing the core manager should only impact the benchmark results (the rest should not be that noticable as the manager does not run that much). |

code release and redundancy
(Message 2778)
Posted 10 Nov 2005 by FZB
Post: i am strongly interested in seeing/learning from/improving the code (studying bioinformatics right now and been around programming for a living before for some years) and would have no problem with signing some kind of NDA (wouldn't be the first anyway ;) ). the NDA approach is good as have some control over the app while it is bad as you have to manage user requests and so on. i have not read into the flop_count thing but if it actually counts the used op's at a reasonable performance hit i guess it wouldn't hurt just to be on the safe side. giving source not out because of cheating is a valid concern, though i think in the end (at least atm) you can already cheat with faked benchmarks in a customized boinc manager, so not sure how big an "cheat" impact it would really be. maybe run a cron job once a week and check the db for claimed credit spikes, if they are from a single user and that user uses a custom rosetta app, you could still investigate. |
