1) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems and Technical Issues with Rosetta@home (Message 98865) Posted 8 Sep 2020 by 10esseetony Post: Well, thanks to your findings, I have switched my allocated 8 of 32 threads of Ryzen under Linux to 10 threads of Haswell on Windows. Hopefully the issue is therefore solved (for me).....and then I downloaded 10+10 days of tasks! (J/K!!!!!) Regarding resource share settings......I have Rosetta at 1 and WCG at 9999, and yet Rosetta still takes control and suspends WCG tasks during this transition between machines. I am glad the BOINC client works for you 100% as intended. Which I am sure you have tested. Meanwhile I'll simply continue to complicate things. PS: Click on a person's name and it shows everything they have EVER done. You have some very nice systems, and I appreciate you donating your computers and your time and your money for citizen science research.

LOL, I am just curious, where are you guys getting the info that I am running 12+ projects at once [presumably on a single computer]? Let me help you out: https://stats.free-dc.org/userbycpid/627a6be35f3dbebd60ed8b5cda8c0b95 I am currently in 'Summer' mode, only running 4 computers out of the 21 at my disposal. Well, running 5 if you want to count that poor old iMac in my daughter's room. My current projects are Universe, WCG, and Rosetta, all other points received today are from quorum 2 projects (wingmen double checking my work finally). If I do run multiple projects on one machine, I prefer only 3 per computer, but I assure you they each will have their own client/manager running just one project each at a set percentage of CPU usage, and in no way are fighting with other projects for run time. If you would like to know how to do that, see this thread: https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/multiple-boinc-clients-on-the-same-computer.2573424/ Now, back to the topic, good catch that the problem is (possibly) Linux only, and that they crash and burn anyway. I was curious to see the points on that one, but I'll go nuke it instead.

I'll just link to the thread, but beware, have your adblocker turned on: https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/recent-changes-in-projects.2500471/post-40275238 My tasks that timed out were not due to an inability to complete them, it was forgetfulness that I had 'temporarily' suspended Rosetta on that machine. ///insert forehead slap emoji here/// I would caution against having zero cache as you suggest....I pay too much for my energy bill to have my machines idle for ANY length of time (internet outage/server outage/server upgrade/home router locked up/etc etc). Rosetta has run dry many times and I do not check my machines but once daily.

As for the RAM upgrade, I am already maxed out at 512GB. I am not quite ready to buy 8 sticks of 128GB just yet....not sure the MB can support it anyway. ( I am teasing....X570 MB with 64GB of RAM, Ryzen 3950X. So you can imagine my surprise at seeing tasks "waiting for memory," especially since I am only letting 8 Rosetta tasks run for the moment )
