Recent illnesses in my wife's family and an article on CNN, and here I am 100% Rosetta.

Any other project look like it is worthwile? Yes. But I am just going to stick around Rosetta for a while and see where it goes.

Viva l 'Italia.

...I would upgrade to at Least 2048mb of ram. That shortage of ram is hindering your performance.

May be so, but the project's guideline is now only 256MB. And we should read that as being 256MB per active WU. So the 1024MB should be fine for Rosetta.

Is there any new news on this?

We ordered an intel mac and are expecting to get it soon. Once we have it, we will start supporting intel macs.

I thought BOINC was open source.

Am I able to compile the client myslef?

I noticed a major User and Host increase the last day.
Is this a bug or is this for real!?
Credit's seem to have risen as well.

Where would I find this project.xml file? I've done a search and can't find it on my computer.

I've got the beta version of BOINC V5.3.31 running on my system, but I can't get any Rosetta work. When I try to update the Rosetta project, I get a "Message from server: platform 'i686-apple-darwin' not found" message. Any suggestions? I'm getting Seti work units fine. For those curious about why I'm not using BOINC 5.3.13 because it doesn't run very well on the new Intel Macs.

My idea for spreading R@H, or even other boinc projects, is to get someone involved who interacts with a lot of computer owners who wouldn't otherwise hear about boinc, let alone have the experience to install it.

If I understand you fellows correctly, you want to contribute to life-science projects. If this is the case, you could also join the WCG Human Proteome Folding (HPF), which is applying the Rosetta software on the human genome (you'll be running the same software like here, just a couple minor versions back i.e. v4.22 rather than v4.8x here and btw it has worked very smoothly, not a single hiccup sofar).

I don`t want 10% of anything else on my machines I have no faith in them or interest. A lot of us feel it`s Rosetta or the end of DC for us. I do not want my fellow team mates temporarily subbed out to another project where they may get cosy and not come back either. I`ve seen it happen a lot over 5 years.

Good to hear scsi but some of don`t want to look for aliens, or predict or find stardust.

Communication is the key to everything. We are looking for a good way to communicate so we are informed and so are the scientist. You`ll note we said we wanted an area from them where we couldn`t reply, this was so their stuff remained clearly so everyone could see.

Whilst you have never run out of work I have guys with 30 & 40 + host farms who have, so excuse us if we don`t say Scsi is alright it doesn`t matter.

If you are fed up with the ranting, don`t come it`s that easy. We are just trying to sort out what we see are problems.

You are of course like everyone else entitled to an opinion, I respect yours though I may not agree.

I left Rosetta (for a while) because 20 out of 30+ machines were out of work yesterday morning....

And lastly, how many credits per day do we need? The answer, for better or for worse, is MORE! The current runs are all on proteins less than 85 amino acids, and searching is a problem. The size of the space that needs to be searched grows exponentially with length (number of amino acids), and many proteins are over 200 amino acids long--we do not have a reliable estimate of how long searching these spaces would take, and I would hesitate to even start at this until we are at current SETI levels or above.

Also, we have yet to start our HIV vaccine design and other disease related work on BOINC -- when these calculations kick in we will be even more cpu limited.
