1) Message boards : Number crunching : woke up to a stalled Boince on a rosetta wu (Message 50363) Posted 5 Jan 2008 by meckano Post: This is the wu: http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/workunit.php?wuid=118609223 and I did pm the other computer user as an fyi, they just got the wu a few minutes ago. Anyone else with stalled computers recently?
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Help us solve the 1% bug! (Message 10507) Posted 6 Feb 2006 by meckano Post: Edit: Is there another way to find If I have had the problem? I had result that took 19K sec.s, and another 12K sec.s Are those of any interest to you?
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Only one computer per wu? no checks? (Message 8746) Posted 10 Jan 2006 by meckano Post: You get the cookie! :) The first is 0, the last is 10. Good go! http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/result.php?resultid=4513558 http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/result.php?resultid=6336470 I love to have answers.

For some reason 11 crossed my mind after I had posted; 10 error + 1 quorum. - the fun of programming :) sorta like: a = 0 if a > 10 goto... else... return that will run 11 times. and i remember the days when you could do the: else... before the: if a = 10 goto... which would also run 11 times.

6) Message boards : Number crunching : Only one computer per wu? no checks? (Message 8624) Posted 9 Jan 2006 by meckano Post: addit: if they wanted 2 copys out and only 1 correct to stop sending out more, then I'd say they'd have to change the 10 to 1, then.
7) Message boards : Number crunching : Only one computer per wu? no checks? (Message 8623) Posted 9 Jan 2006 by meckano Post: Then I'd have to guess that 10 is the default, and rather than editing them all, and with the quorum set at 1, it may be a time saver.

(Message 8588) Posted 8 Jan 2006 by meckano Post: re: Quorum. http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/workunit.php?wuid=3819437 I know how the 10/20/10 works now. lol So what happens if the result is successful this time? :) Max success results 10 is meaningless in the context of Rosetta@Home though I might add ... as we do not form quorums with more than 1 member. If it is succesful I guess it will stop sending out any more. If it is not, it should also stop. They probably are leaving in the max 10 good either as a backup, or cause it's a parameter the program needs filled to be able to run. (have done some program, long ago.) Addit: and after reading this page: http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/rah_graphics.php I see they like to attack a problem like I do. And, although They say: Rosetta is to predict the shapes that proteins fold up into in nature. and: Rosetta keeps track of the lowest energy shape found in each trajectory. I will assume the latter is what they are looking for. Lowest energy shape being what is found in nature.

11) Message boards : Number crunching : what kind of a wu name is... (Message 8513) Posted 7 Jan 2006 by meckano Post: thanks :)

13) Message boards : Number crunching : what kind of a wu name is... (Message 8503) Posted 6 Jan 2006 by meckano Post: Well, no one said my Boinc has been hijacked, so I guess it is a good wu from the project. thanks

(Message 8501) Posted 6 Jan 2006 by meckano Post: thanks for this fluffy. www.boincstats.com I don't think I misunderstood what they said about the non profit stuff. If there is something amiss, it might be how they come across. They difinetely want us to read it first, and I did, and that's how it sounds... for profit right now.

16) Message boards : Number crunching : Only one computer per wu? no checks? (Message 8458) Posted 6 Jan 2006 by meckano Post: Although, Boinc does seem to come across as a non-profit thing, to me. oh well. Cheers to the 'fine print'????

18) Message boards : Number crunching : Only one computer per wu? no checks? (Message 8453) Posted 6 Jan 2006 by meckano Post: Thanks, But I'll wait till this part of the agreement is dealt with: IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT EVENTUALLY IBM WILL TRANSFER WORLD COMMUNITY GRID TO A NON-IBM OWNED NOT-FOR-PROFIT ENTITY. Or when I get a job again myself. ;)
19) Message boards : Number crunching : Only one computer per wu? no checks? (Message 8451) Posted 6 Jan 2006 by meckano Post: lol! I DID say close, not friendly. One thing I like about Americans over Canadians is that they deal with issues. May be completely odd and roundabout way at times, but they do deal with stuff. Learning to read through the personally-not-liked garb and seeing if anything is actually asked or stated that can help was a big learning step for me. But that's just me. Atleast you're still crunching!!! :)
20) Message boards : Number crunching : Only one computer per wu? no checks? (Message 8449) Posted 6 Jan 2006 by meckano Post: I can see the quorum number via clicking through my computers's results to the work unit id page. Plus: Paul, I see you have more Boinc projects than are shown at the main Boinc page: Climateprediction.net: study climate change Einstein@home: search for gravitational signals emitted by pulsars LHC@home: improve the design of the CERN LHC particle accelerator Predictor@home: investigate protein-related diseases Rosetta@home: help researchers develop cures for human diseases SETI@home: Look for radio evidence of extraterrestrial life Cell Computing biomedical research (Japanese; requires nonstandard client software) World Community Grid: advance our knowledge of human disease. (Requires 5.2.1 or greater) Where did you find them? And: I tried to figure out how to connect Boinc to WCG. Man! they are confusing, I gave up! :(
