1) Message boards : Number crunching : pd1_graftsheet_41limit keep crashing (Message 77013) Posted 14 Jul 2014 by Indigo Post: Hi all. This is my code and it is doing exactly what it is supposed to do. It turns out that BOINC reports an "error" when no protein structure is returned. The reason many jobs are not returning structures is that I'm using strategy called "dead-end elimination." The reason we need massively parallel computing/simulations is that it's impossible to know ahead of time if a single simulation will return the results we need (i.e. "stochastic sampling"). However, after a simulation has run for a while, we can sometimes tell that it's not going anywhere, and it's a waste of everyone's resources to continue it and save the output, such that a new job is spawned with a different starting point. I've been a Rosetta developer and scientist for years, but this is my first time using R@H instead of our own supercomputing clusters. I'm gonna reconfigure my job submission strategy to play nicer with BOINC's point system. Thanks everybody! Chris Indigo King Bakerlab
