1) Message boards : Number crunching : minirosetta 2.05 (Message 65718) Posted 9 Apr 2010 by damon Post: Has anyone run Rosetta on a netbook (Acer AspireONE AOA150-1777)? My specs: -- CPU type GenuineIntel Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N270 @ 1.60GHz [x86 Family 6 Model 28 Stepping 2] Number of CPUs 2 Operating System Microsoft Windows XP Home x86 Edition, Service Pack 3, (05.01.2600.00) Memory 1523.88 MB Cache 512 KB Swap space 4401.18 MB Total disk space 144.17 GB Free Disk Space 120.95 GB Measured floating point speed 689.15 million ops/sec Measured integer speed 1752.15 million ops/sec Maximum daily WU quota per CPU 89/day -- I've been seeing the following Windows error for a few months: -- Event Type: Information Event Source: Application Popup Event Category: None Event ID: 26 Date: 4/9/2010 Time: 1:19:22 AM User: N/A Computer: ULTRAPORT Description: Application popup: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library : Runtime Error! Program: ...kerlab.org_rosettaminirosetta_2.05_windows_intelx86.exe This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. -- Unfortunately, I can't locate the text file that keeps a track of what the project was doing at the time of the error. Initially, I thought that the amount of RAM was the problem, so I increased the amount from 1 GB to 1.5 GB. No go. One of the other symptoms of a problem is the gradual filling of my swapfile with multiple instances of the Rosetta executable shown above. (Windows keeps announcing the resizing of the swapfile. Answering "OK" to each error pop-up doesn't appear to free the space allocated in RAM and the swapfile taken by the problem Rosetta executable instance.) I have a larger Dell Inspiron B130 that has 2088316K (2 GB) of RAM, is at least three years older than the Netbook, runs only one work unit at a time, but functions smoothly without filling up the swapfile. Am I asking too much of my Netbook by running Rosetta on it?
