Getting credit is not what I'm trying for, but doing something to help medical research.

Attach to the Project? I mean log in so I can see if the project has fixed their Windows workunits. They have made the Windows versions of their workunits appear to be of very little value for the last few months.

Their recovery procedures can handle loss of one of the two, but not both.

26) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems and Technical Issues with Rosetta@home (Message 112738) Posted 3 Jun 2025 by robertmiles Post: PrimeGrid has a VERY reliable selection of workunits. They even have automatic workunit generation to extend series of workunits with known patterns.

It's about the only work now available for medical research, except those from World Community Grid.
28) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : What else does the project need besides more computing power? (Message 112588) Posted 24 Apr 2025 by robertmiles Post: They need at least one programmer who can convert Linux scripts to run under Windows instead. Not enough information to tell if it would be useful to convert their workunits to run under OpenCL and therefore use GPUs. By the way, the Denis project (elsewhere) is running a beta test on a new version of their workunits foe simulating heartbeats. It needs some work on their server, though. and some work on getting their software to pass antivirus searches.

30) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems and Technical Issues with Rosetta@home (Message 112546) Posted 16 Apr 2025 by robertmiles Post: Cosmology@Home has been unreachable since January 8, 2004. No reason given why. boinc.thesonntags.com has been unreachable for months. Reason given was a leak in the wall of the basement room holding the server.
31) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems and Technical Issues with Rosetta@home (Message 112442) Posted 3 Apr 2025 by robertmiles Post: Cannot even get to typing in my password for Rosetta@Home in the client. The green dot just keeps jumping between the 2 computers forever. Hope somebody can help me out :) Have you made the changes/added the additional lines to the hosts file on your computer(s) as outlined in previous posts in this forum? Where do I find the hosts file on computers running Windows 10 or 11?
32) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems and Technical Issues with Rosetta@home (Message 111872) Posted 8 Jan 2025 by robertmiles Post: Edit: And I grabbed some Robetta tasks - first day I've run anything for weeks Seems they restart. I don't think many came through, but somehow I've built up a full cache here. About time - it's freeezing where I'm sitting atm If you want tasks to use power to keep you warm, I've found PrimeGrid tasks especially useful for that. That project has programs set up to create new tasks automatically for many of their subprojects when needed, so these subprojects can continue without human attention at the server. Both CPU and GPU tasks available. I'm still waiting to upload my last batch of WCG results.
33) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems and Technical Issues with Rosetta@home (Message 111796) Posted 22 Dec 2024 by robertmiles Post: I'm new to Rosetta. I signed up on Dec. 13 using BOINC since World Community Grid is hibernating until January sometime. According to my stats on BOINC, it ran some tasks on the 13th but hasn't done anything since. I'm seeing reports in this thread of recent problems with accounts. I don't see anything to suggest my account was dropped (other than no tasks). I've requested new tasks a number of times but can't get anything to download. Can someone please help me get my account working? Thanks in advance. I've found that PrimeGrid is currently often about the only source of CPU workunits in the English language. Their automatic workunit generating programs should keep SOMETHING available for at least a few weeks,
34) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems and Technical Issues with Rosetta@home (Message 110093) Posted 3 Dec 2024 by robertmiles Post: The ones I get that fail -- even before starting -- are canceled by the server. They send a task to someone who has not finished and not failed. Then tey send me one of te same thing. Then the first person completes the work unit. Then they cancel me. This is a rude process. They should not send me a task if they are still waiting for the first user to complete. Would you prefer that they cancel workunits after they start? They obviously want one copy to finish soon, and may not have information on whether the first one will ever finish. I think, though, that they will let the second one finish and give it credit if it starts before the first one finishes,
35) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems and Technical Issues with Rosetta@home (Message 109984) Posted 5 Nov 2024 by robertmiles Post: Validation backlog back down to nil and 700k tasks have popped up We live to crunch another day And another day with over 46k wus pending validation... :-( Yes, and now 88k But I just looked through my team's tasks again and it's the same as a few days ago. A high figure showing on the server status page, but none of my team have <any> tasks awaiting validation. Is this 2 coincidences in a row? I'm certainly confused. Could it mean that the validator processes for some operating systems correctly, but not for some others?
36) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems and Technical Issues with Rosetta@home (Message 109932) Posted 27 Oct 2024 by robertmiles Post: One of my systems (phenom ii x6 1065t) fails all Rosetta BETA 6 tasks yet is fine with Rosetta 4 tasks. It almost immediately fails the tasks. Ive: Reinstalled boinc Enabled virtiualization Reinstalled virtualbox twice If this isn't solveable then is it possible to disable Rosetta 6 beta tasks specifically on this machine? I tried to look up which of your systems that is in order to see if I could help. The information I found by clicking on your author name did not include the system type (phenom ii), only items like the CPU and GPU types, so I couldn't help. 9phenom ii
37) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems and Technical Issues with Rosetta@home (Message 109836) Posted 9 Oct 2024 by robertmiles Post: The SiDock@home project has a rather steady supply of tasks. You might want to look there to see if you like those tasks, and if so, check how much they warm up your computer. The weather report here in Alabama has recently gone as low as 51 F.

(Message 109729) Posted 14 Sep 2024 by robertmiles Post: They occasionally past messages about their progress. But they do it without reading any messages from users. SiDock@Home seems to have the most activity on anything resembling medical research. PrimeGrid seems to have the most activity using graphics boards.

40) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems and Technical Issues with Rosetta@home (Message 109668) Posted 24 Aug 2024 by robertmiles Post: Looks like i posted too soon- Ralph is MIA again. But server daemons on Rosetta has restarted... 3 days is better than 3 weeks. BOTH are better than I saw on Predictor@Home a few years ago,. The two people who knew how to create workunits properly left that project about the same time. That left a few people who couldn't do much more than set up more tries on workunits that have failed on all previous tries. Some workunits reached 50 tries this way before the professor in charge of the project decided to shut the project down until they could start something more useful, but that didn't happen.
