I hope it helps. https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/forum_thread.php?id=6893&postid=103572 It does - thanks. Isn't it usual for a program to reserve memory only when it's needed?
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems and Technical Issues with Rosetta@home (Message 103610) Posted 30 Nov 2021 by Peter Humphrey Post: You then run as many as you can (8 for example) in each instance. That works because you only need a lot of memory to download them, not run them. Here is how to set it up: I don't understand. When I run boincmgr it shows several jobs as "waiting for memory". How can adding yet more of them release memory? And why would boinc need more memory to download a job than to run it? (This is Gentoo Linux.)

It's far too much of a memory hog; I've suspended it while I debate with myself. Who'd have though that 64GB RAM would be too little, even with 24 processors?
4) Questions and Answers : Web site : Illegible website (Message 103559) Posted 27 Nov 2021 by Peter Humphrey Post: I find the website hard to read. It uses pale blue text on a white background, which gives far too little contrast for people older than 30.

I have 64GB installed, and R@H is consuming the lot, making other projects wait for memory..10 R@H jobs are running just now, and using all the memory. I'd prefer to limit them to, say, 4, but unlike other projects I can't see a way to influence this.
