I would like to add that there is a significant discrepancy in the granting of credits between the 2 types of WUs

The way I manage my range as a volunteer, I am able to manage it better with WUs lasting around 28000 sec. Then do as you want...

EDIT: and an extension of time, in relation to today's more elastic duration
Thanks

I just encountered an issue. My BOINC client cannot recieve any Rosetta@Home projects.
The log says:

22/11/2021 20:40:55 | Rosetta@home | Sending scheduler request: To fetch work.
22/11/2021 20:40:55 | Rosetta@home | Requesting new tasks for CPU
22/11/2021 20:40:57 | Rosetta@home | Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks
22/11/2021 20:40:57 | Rosetta@home | No tasks sent
22/11/2021 20:40:57 | Rosetta@home | Message from server: VirtualBox is not installed
22/11/2021 20:40:57 | Rosetta@home | Project requested delay of 31 seconds


After that I installed VBox but it still outputs this error.
I also tried to reset the project but it doesn't make any difference.

What can I do now?
VirtualBox, is not compatible and does not work in Windows if Microsoft Hyper-V is enabled.
First of all, uninstall any component of Hypr-V from your system.



Windows it will restart, then try again.
If again, BOIN Manager, should give you the same warning, you will have to open 'Windows PowerShell' (with administrator rights) and type (copy-paste):

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off and press [OK]
Subsequently 'exit' ...

Restart Windows and now BOINC, should be able to download the wus

@ Greg_BE
I'm sorry that wus python cannot be downloaded.
You can try to edit the file I posted, called 'Scheduler projects.txt' as follows (copy and paste) :

Scheduling_priority_to_rah_make_work_rosetta_python_projects_work_units
Server computer name=bwsrv1

Of course I can't guarantee anything about its actual effectiveness, it's just an attempt ...

P.S. the 'app_config.xml' file it is still necessary in any case.

I forgot (I took it for granted) ...
Virtualization must be enabled in the BIOS (CMOS):
Intel VT-x or AMD-V depending on the processor installed.

With the securable app https://securable.it.uptodown.com/windows/download
verify the effective operation of virtualization. Seeing it enabled in the task manager CPU performance is not enough.

If everything is ok, it is complete:

I've never been able to get more than one python task running simultaneously.

Are you sure you have set the CPU(s) usage to 100%, in 'Processing preferences'?

Yesterday I was unable to communicate with the server, today it started sending alerts again.
In my experience (always regarding the topic of the original post) the best 'app_config.xml (*) (**)' is:
------------------------------------
<app_config>
<app>
<name>rosetta_python_projects</name>
</app>
<app_version>
<app_name>rosetta_python_projects</app_name>
<plan_class>vbox64</plan_class>
</app_version>
</app_config>
-------------------------------------

The multithreading logically I am not able to activate it and I always find that 2 physical cores of the processor are left free (the logical cores are not used).
I assume (example) that with CPU 8 core FX, max 6 wus are processed simultaneously.
I repeat, with Ryzen 3 3100, max 2 (python) wus, with Ryzen 5 3600, max 4 (python) wus, simultaneously.


(*) Obviously, if you also want to download/modulate
Rosetta 4.2, the file must be suitably integrated with the appropriate strings.
In this case the wus should/could occupy the rest of the CPU's free cores/threads.

(**) After each modification to the 'app_config.xml' file, save and refresh the page and pages back.
Then click on 'Read configuration files', from the 'Options' menu of the BOINC client.
Sometimes, it should be necessary to exit BOINC and also terminate it from 'Task Manager', then restart the program.

Update: "the workaround" to be able to download the wus pythons, it seems not to work anymore ...
Maybe something on the server might have changed.
Rosetta 4.20 Tasks are now available again. For several days there, they weren't (apart from the very occasional RB Task or a resend).
Oh...ok,thanks

I don't think I fully understand the question, however, to recap
In addition to the text file named 'Schduler projects', the content of which will be: Scheduling priority WUs: rah_make_work_rosetta_python_projects

It will need to be integrated with an 'app_config.xml' file with dedicated content, such as:
<app_config>
<app>
<name>rosetta_python_projects</name>
<avg_concurrent>4</avg_concurrent>
<max_concurrent>4</max_concurrent>
</app>
<app_version>
<app_name>rosetta_python_projects_v1.03</app_name>
<plan_class>vbox_64</plan_class>
<avg_ncpus>1</avg_ncpus>
<max_threads>1</max_threads>
<max_mem_usage>14592</max_mem_usage>
</app_version>
</app_config>

This content is just an example! (to 16GB RAM system)

Post:

Your app_config doesn't work because that is the wrong plan_class
From the applications page: 1.03 (vbox64)
Replace vbox_64_mt with vbox64
Although that probably doesn't mean that the app will use 2 threads. BOINC may dedicate 2 threads but thats different from the app using 2 threads.
app_config.xml just needs to be reread. The client does not need restarted to pick up the changes.
The messages/log will show you what is incorrect with the app name and/or plan_class.
Perhaps the project, need an add program:

https://docs.docker.com/toolbox/

If the project accelerates, the science will gain.

Try:
Close BOINC client. Put a file called Sheduler projects.txt, in the boinc.bakerlab.org_rosetta folder. Write it:
Sheduling priority WUs: rah_make_work_rosetta_python_projects
Save and update.
Pre-emptively add BOINC space to the disk where the same is installed, via Options -> Processing preferences -> Disk and memory.
At least 30GB, otherwise the WUs won't go down (and could download Rosetta's wus).
If the space is insufficient the project will warn.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I also tried to edit the app_config.xml file, for a Ryzen 3 3100 (4C / 8T), 16GB RAM as follows:

<app_config>
<app>
<name>rosetta_python_projects</name>
<avg_concurrent>3</avg_concurrent>
<max_concurrent>3</max_concurrent>
</app>
<app_version>
<app_name>rosetta_python_projects_v1.03</app_name>
<plan_class>vbox_64_mt</plan_class>
<avg_ncpus>2</avg_ncpus>
<max_ncpus>2</max_ncpus>
</app_version>
</app_config>

The purpose was to test the possibility of multithreading, but the file:
vboxwrapper_26203_windows_x86_64.exe (981 KB) does not allow this.
Perhaps because it is incomplete.
Another file from another project allows it and works: vboxwrapper_26200_windows_x86_64.exe (1452 KB).
I also tried to replace it, but it is automatically restored from the project.

However, on the Ryzen 3100, it processes a maximum of 2 wus at a time, while on the Ryzen 3600 (32GB RAM), the wus processed are 4.
Any changes I have tried to the app-config.xml file are totally ignored, even when restarting the BOINC client.

The amount of RAM is not a problem.

Bah ... personally I follow a diet, according to my blood type and I derive many benefits from it (moreover, I believe it is preserving me from Covid19 contamination), so I know well the positive effect on me of proteins. For me that's what matters!
And if scientists (rightly) care how they do or how they behave, well ... I give them a hand if I can and when / how I can. R @ H is a way, which provides a sort of virtual compensation in exchange for my support. If this fails, my voluntary "efforts" ... even economic ones, are thwarted, so I do not consider myself a narcissist, especially when those who "judge" keep the boincstats in good evidence in the signature.
I just don't want to be fooled!

I am interested, as I am blood group 0 +. I derive many benefits from proteins.
If it had multithreading and / or SIMD oriented applications, it would be better for me.

Very interesting, but honestly I got tired of throwing electricity because of WUs, which give error after a few hours of work.
If R @ H has improved applications, I gladly give my contribution, but they must be able to be selected independently, without having to necessarily download other bad ones.

P.S. for information purposes only, AMD provides a good compiler for C/C++ : https://developer.amd.com/amd-aocc/

Cosmology @ home (for example), implements the same principle, but really 'multithreaded', with VirtualBox and boinc2docker (1 application).
I think it would be more effective to change the code for SIMD.
