1) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems and Technical Issues with Rosetta@home (Message 101283) Posted 13 Apr 2021 by ww Post: Is there any troubleshooting I can do? If you can complete tasks from World Compute Grid or another project, then don't worry too much about your hardware or BOINC configuration. Rosetta is having software problems right now.

If it actually needs this much memory, 32-bit wouldn't have been able to run it at all. RSS was at 3.09 GB. ~~It seems to be able to free some memory though.~~ (Or some swapped out. Don't post tired kids.) RSS has been steadily climbing; it started at 1.8 GB. Now at 3.5 hours. Completion is on pace for 11.9 hour run-time. It appears to be check-pointing .

If you don't have 4.12 yet, that could be because you're storing more work than necessary, which means you're running older tasks, which mean you haven't gotten to the new application yet. My computer started getting 4.12 work about 18 hours ago. If you have a good reason to store more work than the default, such as using an intermittent internet connection, then you'll just have to be patient. If your internet service is always on, try the defaults ("Store at least 0.1 days of work." "Store up to an additional 0.5 days of work.") and be patient for your client to catch up. Shorter storage helps the project achieve shorter turn-around times, so it's also a win for the researchers.
