21) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems and Technical Issues with Rosetta@home (Message 107201) Posted 9 Oct 2022 by Bryn Mawr Post: Oh, look! A validated task! 11mer_af_hallucinated_23_45_best_SAVE_ALL_OUT_2919280_72_1 Only 114 more to go! Two of mine have validated and, strangely, they’re tasks that have completed within the past few minutes, not the ones that have been waiting for days.
22) Questions and Answers : Preferences : How to Limit CPU cores ? (Message 107151) Posted 8 Oct 2022 by Bryn Mawr Post: @hadron A setting you might want to change is :- <rec_half_life_days>X</rec_half_life_days> A project's scheduling priority is determined by its estimated credit in the last X days. Default is 10; set it larger if you run long high-priority jobs. in cc_config.xml Setting this to 1 will reduce the time that a project will try to play catch-up when it’s been short on work so, in your case, if Rosetta has fallen behind its project share it will still grab 3 or 4 threads but only for a few hours rather than a few days.

24) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems and Technical Issues with Rosetta@home (Message 106946) Posted 21 Sep 2022 by Bryn Mawr Post: Well, Rosetta has not sent out work either for the past few days. Any idea why? I would be keen on their Pythons, but nothing available :-( There was a single dump of Python tasks and they have now been completed no guessing whether there will ever be any more.
25) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : Disk usage shows over 70% but haven't had a task in almost 30 days (Message 106940) Posted 18 Sep 2022 by Bryn Mawr Post: Running on Ubuntu 18+ on laptop. The stats page shows most of the disk is held by Rosettta yet I've had no tasks for nearly 30 days and other projects including Rosetta, are requesting space. Is Rosetta not releasing its space? Thank you for any info! Projects will hold disk space for the static files required by the applications, if you want to release this space then reset the project and it will download the static files again with the next work unit.
26) Message boards : Number crunching : Ralph is closed? (Message 106903) Posted 10 Sep 2022 by Bryn Mawr Post: And the bigger question is what happens here after they run out of work in a couple of weeks. Either they come up with something new, or it is all over. I don't think so. There is a lot of work to do. But seems that admins are satisfied of this app, without the will to update/optimized/introduce new features, etc. And it's strange, cause the rosetta code is constantly updated Also Foldit is constantly updated.... They dropped a single lump of 2.5m Python WUs and have not added any since. We’re now down below 12k and will probably run out within a week. In the absence of new Python work, given how sparse the 4.20 jobs have been and given that most of the new work is being done internally I’m not seeing a lot of work for us to do.

A full time experienced networking profesional would realize the certificate needed to be renewed, usually annually. It would be on his calender. Well it certainly isn’t the first project to have this problem - I’d say it’s the third in the past couple of years.

29) Questions and Answers : Windows : Virtualbox (Message 106865) Posted 5 Sep 2022 by Bryn Mawr Post: I'm starting now and I realize that BOINC is using cpu only, I have a very good video card being wasted, would anyone know how I can configure BOINC to use only the video card? BOINC is not restricted to CPU only, Rosetta is restricted to CPU only but several other projects use GPUs.
30) Questions and Answers : Windows : Rosetta Says CPU Doesn't Support Required Instruction Set on i7-1280P (Message 106857) Posted 2 Sep 2022 by Bryn Mawr Post: Look in Message Boards > Number Crunching. There are several threads giving detailed steps for getting the VBox tasks to run. It sounds like you need to enable virtualisation in the bios and disable the software equivalent in Windows but no being a Windows person I cannot give you the details.
31) Message boards : Number crunching : Something other than vbox/python? (Message 106562) Posted 18 Jul 2022 by Bryn Mawr Post: Which repository has the openSUSE Leap 15.4 version of that software? With apologies, I’ve just checked and that method only appears to be available for Windows. My mistake.
32) Message boards : Number crunching : Something other than vbox/python? (Message 106559) Posted 17 Jul 2022 by Bryn Mawr Post: Thanks for your assistance. I guess I'll just forget about running Rosetta, to bad I was sitting at #140 until the virtualbox hit the fan. FWIW, my computer has boinc installed on it, a virtual machine defined via virtualbox, the virtual machine has boinc on it (and not much else). Nothing will run rosetta. I get the same message that virtualbox isn't installed on both. The computer at the top got jobs, they quit after about 10 seconds with a notation in the log that the output file was absent. The boinc manager said there was a computation error. Not much to work with there. Rather than set up VBox and load Boinc onto it download the version of Boinc that contains VBox and run that.
33) Questions and Answers : Windows : Help required with account deletion. (Message 106525) Posted 13 Jul 2022 by Bryn Mawr Post: Sorry to go, but I'd like to delete my account. Could you please let me know how to do this? Many thanks, Nigel Sorry, I’ve never tried. Do you need to do more than detach from the project? What advantage does account deletion give you?
34) Message boards : Number crunching : Limit number of Python jobs (Message 106402) Posted 17 Jun 2022 by Bryn Mawr Post: BOINC is in control of how many tasks are run at a time. You can control it by limiting RAM available to BOINC. I think you can also set the max_concurrent value in one of the files too. But that is Rosetta overall, not Python specific. You can switch Python off but, afaik, you cannot say allow a maximum of 2 Python jobs whilst allowing up to 8 Rosetta jobs.
35) Message boards : Number crunching : Rosetta WUs (Message 106401) Posted 17 Jun 2022 by Bryn Mawr Post: Is this project generating any Rosetta or Rosetta Mini WUs? Or any other WU's that don't require VirtualBox? Occasionally
36) Message boards : Technical News : Due to user feedback and an attempt to reduce the load on our servers, we increased the default target run time from 3 to 6 hours, increased job deadlines to 14 days, and added the target cpu runtime option of 2 days (Message 106341) Posted 2 Jun 2022 by Bryn Mawr Post: For some strange reason I'm now receiving regular work units. Thanks!! Unless more are generated soon the non-Python tasks will run out in 2 days at most. We were gifted about 3.5m work units and we’re now down to less than 500,000.
37) Message boards : Number crunching : Please remove Virtualbox as a dependency. (Message 106327) Posted 29 May 2022 by Bryn Mawr Post: https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/forum_thread.php?id=5594 Sadly, that is very specific to lhc requiring the use of CERN utilities and the project to set up additional servers to provide additional functionality.
38) Message boards : Number crunching : Please remove Virtualbox as a dependency. (Message 106314) Posted 28 May 2022 by Bryn Mawr Post: In LHC@home you can build "native" aoolications which don't use VirtualBox but only if you use Linux, not Windows. Tullio But is it the use that can build them or must it be done on the server? The user must build it following an instruction liat. But its meant for the Debian Linux distro, whilel I use SuSE, so I haven'bt built it. I have no problem with VirtualBox in three BOINC projects. Tullio Could you publish the instructions? It would be interesting to try.

40) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems and Technical Issues with Rosetta@home (Message 106294) Posted 27 May 2022 by Bryn Mawr Post: I also like the way the width of the monitors is of no use. Bring back 4:3! 16:9 is for TVs! I love 16:9 on my 25 inch, it's better than 16:10 for running 2 programs side by side (or three when troubleshooting logs, webclient and server side) . That said, I've got a weird scheduling issue with my client. I have jobs that need to report before x but those jobs are not always the ones that get initiated when another job finishes. This leads to jobs reporting past their due date and I'm not sure whether that invalidates them. Screenshot (sorted by report before date): https://imgur.com/a/wbHnfzf There's 2 jobs that need to report before 28-5 6 am, and 2 that need to report before 11:30 am but there are 4 jobs running that need to report before 28-5 3:30pm and later. Have you actually had jobs miss deadlines? Boinc will choose which job to run based on your preferred resource share until and unless there are jobs in danger of missing their deadline when it will switch to running the late jobs as high priority
