1) Message boards : Number crunching : Stuck on uploading is a new problem? (Message 81456) Posted 16 Apr 2017 by John C MacAlister Post: I am running WCG and FAH with no problems. One Rosetta task stuck at 100% upload progress quoting 'Upload retry in 5:10:37'
2) Message boards : Number crunching : which cpu´s are you using for rosetta? (Message 78588) Posted 25 Aug 2015 by John C MacAlister Post: I use the following CPUs for many BOINC and other projects: 1. AMD FX-6300 2. AMD 1090T
3) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : 10 reasons I crunch R@H and you should too (Message 78131) Posted 17 Apr 2015 by John C MacAlister Post: Maybe I missed the Ebola WUs, but I would like to see more action on Ebola...
4) Message boards : Number crunching : SSD (Message 78130) Posted 17 Apr 2015 by John C MacAlister Post: Worrying about SSD failures.....:)- I have been a heavy PC user since about 1983. In that time I gave seen a grand total of ONE drive failure!!! Stop worrying and keep crunching.
5) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : design of protein inhibitors to target diseases (Message 77393) Posted 23 Aug 2014 by John C MacAlister Post: I'm happy to see the Ebola work, but appear to be receiving only a few Ebola tasks for processing.....?
6) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : Rosetta@home Research Updates (Message 77365) Posted 19 Aug 2014 by John C MacAlister Post: Good to see that we are taking action on this terrible disease. All my computing resources are working on Rosetta. I don't care what the process is called - war, fight, campaign: as long as we work on the elimination of Ebola, it's OK with me. Ebola is not only a threat in Africa, but everywhere as recent events have demonstrated.

14) Message boards : Number crunching : Best operating system for crunching (Message 75669) Posted 26 May 2013 by John C MacAlister Post: I know I am in the minority here, but I have one PC with an AMD 1090T six core processor and two PCs based on AMD A10-5800K processors. I have just bought an AMD FX 8350 eight core processor on sale and will build another PC based on this. Just waiting for my choice of ASUS MOBO to go on sale and then I will sell both A10 machines to consolidate processing in the 6 and 8 core machines. As I have a total of four ATI GPUs and two NVIDIA GPUs, I am looking forward to the eventual GPU processing on Rosetta as mentioned in the Rosetta@homeScience thread.
15) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : Quantum computing and Rosetta (Message 75668) Posted 26 May 2013 by John C MacAlister Post: I like what I am seeing about possible/probable GPU computing for Rosetta! 'Soon' looks good!
16) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : DISCUSSION of Rosetta Insight (Message 75618) Posted 16 May 2013 by John C MacAlister Post: Just returned after a long absence, crunching mainly HCC on WCG. Adding additional computer resources and will contribute more soon. John
