1) Questions and Answers : Windows : Rosetta 100% computation errors within 20 secs since Apr/06/21 (Message 101120) Posted 7 Apr 2021 by Neo (ClaudioP) Post: Ok thanks, I suspected something alike but before blaming Rosetta I wanted to be sure. Will leave boinc manager running awaiting for good tasks.
2) Questions and Answers : Windows : Rosetta 100% computation errors within 20 secs since Apr/06/21 (Message 101115) Posted 7 Apr 2021 by Neo (ClaudioP) Post: Hi, it's since yesterday I'm getting 100% computation errors on my two hosts. Everything worked fine before, just getting some of these errors very rarely. No hardware or software changes have been made, computing preferences are all defaults, both hosts run Win10 pro with latest patches, one host run 8 Rosetta instances (100% cpu) out of 12 available threads and has 7.5GB of free ram out of 12GB total, SSD drive has 125GB available and machine is basically idle running Rosetta tasks only. The other host run 10 Rosetta instances (100% cpu) out of 16 threads, 26GB of free ram and 579GB of free SSD storage. Also this host is basically idle with very light activity sometime. I noticed that before terminating with computation error some tasks shows "waiting for memory" for 1-2 secs which looks very strange to me. Any idea regarding? Anything to check? Thanks.
3) Questions and Answers : Windows : Intel old i7 processor faster than newer i9? (Message 100991) Posted 1 Apr 2021 by Neo (ClaudioP) Post: Ok, thanks a lot for the explanation, I was a little bit concerned to have wasted money for an i9, of course I didn't buy it for Rosetta only.....
4) Questions and Answers : Windows : Intel old i7 processor faster than newer i9? (Message 100986) Posted 1 Apr 2021 by Neo (ClaudioP) Post: Okay, so I just checked out my machines, the i7 starts every task with a remaining time of 5 hours and 56 minutes, while the i9 starts with 7 hours and 55 minutes, but in the end both computers complete the tasks in roughly 8 hours. So let me say it looks Rosetta works like modern computer games (computing speaking....) which run always the same way regardless of hardware speed.
5) Questions and Answers : Windows : Intel old i7 processor faster than newer i9? (Message 100965) Posted 1 Apr 2021 by Neo (ClaudioP) Post: Hello, I recently upgraded my windows hardware by installing a new motherboard and an i9-9900KF processor at 4.8GHz. My old arrangemet used an i7-980X at 4.2GHz. Both machines run with same Win10 pro. Running Rosetta I see the old CPU takes about 5 hours to complete single tasks while the new one employs 8 hours. How is it possible? Perhaps Rosetta sends heavier tasks depending on CPU speed? Thank you.
