1) Questions and Answers : Wish list : Certificate of Computation (Message 37978) Posted 18 Mar 2007 by Tino Ruiz Post: I'm quite sure it is feasible and simple to have a progressive certificate page for members to download as SETI does. What is the problem, Rosetta!? Agreed!
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Report Problems with Rosetta Version 5.25 (Message 25635) Posted 30 Aug 2006 by Tino Ruiz Post: It appears to be when the app tries to read the following file: bbdep02.May.sortlib.gz This is a required database file that gets downloaded once when you get your very first work unit and then stays on your computer. I do not know the exact cause of the error but it is not a universal error and is only happening to a small number of users. I suggest manually downloading the file and then placing it in the R@h project directory in your boinc installation if for some reason it no longer exists. Or I would reset the project. http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/download/15a/bbdep02.May.sortlib.gz I'm sorry, but where exactly do I put that file? I've looked everywhere for a BOINC install directory but couldn't find one. Does anyone know the default directory for a debian-based distro (Xubuntu)?

Yes, vtu@home immediately ends with an error (aborted), but the author is aware of this issue on Linux and told me it's a bug in his app. So far he hasn't been able to fix it yet. I doubt his app interferes with Rosetta, but it's an interesting point of view. AMD_is_logical: since I've switched to 120 minutes, the amount of errors seem to have gone down. I've upped it to 180 minutes now. Hopefully this will eliminate most, if not all of my problems. I don't want to set it too high since I'm attached to a lot of projects and might miss a few deadlines. tralala: no, no, no. After a while, the Rosetta work units quit computing altogether. They have "running" next to them, but the CPU % falls to 0, and stays there until BOINC switches to another project. When BOINC returns to Rosetta, the CPU will stay at 0%, doing absolutely nothing. That's why I have to abort it. Apparently with the increased time to work on the units, this seems to be less of an issue. I'll keep y'all posted if anything changes.

I've been able to complete the first work unit since this whole "stuck" issue started a few weeks ago. Fri 25 Aug 2006 09:14:39 PM AST\|rosetta@home\|Computation for task FRA_t370_CASPR_hom001_7_t370_7_dec83IGNORE_THE_REST_1_1213_653_0 finished I didn't change anything. Perhaps the new work units have been fixed?

Look, every project runs fine, I stress my PC 24/7. Yes I've tried diagnostic tools but they always turn out ok. For the past few weeks a lot of people have complained about this "stuck" unit issue, so I know I'm not alone. Something is broken in the Linux version for sure.

I'm on a single core, single processor CPU. :-/
7) Message boards : Number crunching : Report Problems with Rosetta Version 5.25 (Message 24159) Posted 21 Aug 2006 by Tino Ruiz Post: Sigh...looks like I spoke too soon. :-/ I had to abort this unit because it's stuck, again. And leaving the app in memory is not an option for me as I'm attached to 14 projects.

I've set the interval to 120 minutes (2 hours), and that seems to have worked so far. :-)

10) Message boards : Number crunching : Report Problems with Rosetta Version 5.25 (Message 22574) Posted 16 Aug 2006 by Tino Ruiz Post: Feet1st: I have BOINC set to run 24/7 (which it does, my PC is up 24/7), the unit is set to be removed from memory when it switches to another project. Interval is 1 hour, then it moves to the next project and so on.
11) Message boards : Number crunching : Report Problems with Rosetta Version 5.25 (Message 22563) Posted 16 Aug 2006 by Tino Ruiz Post: So...what does that mean? Sorry if I'm being stupid, but is there anything that can be done? I've tried everything I could, resetting the project etc. Nothing works. If I have to keep aborting all workunits like this I'm afraid I'm not much use to the project and I'll probably have to quit. :-(

13) Message boards : Number crunching : Report Problems with Rosetta Version 5.25 (Message 22529) Posted 16 Aug 2006 by Tino Ruiz Post: Hi, I'm having the same problems with Rosetta@Home "hanging" (it shows "running" but the CPU is at 0%). Usually it occurs within 23%~26% of processing the unit. The same thing happens with World Community Grid as well, but I know that's another project. ALL other projects work fine. I'm on a P4C 2.6 GHz, 512 MB RAM running Xubuntu. Nothing is overclocked. The workunits below I know are "stuck": FRA_t370_CASPR_hom001_6_t370_4_2a2jA_IGNORE_THE_REST_223_1078_61_0 FRA_t322_CASPR_hom001_6_t322_3_1u1zA_IGNORE_THE_REST_17_1079_65_1 There are a lot more that I've had to abort over the weeks, but my log only goes so far.
