We are still looking for more team members. About 20 extra people who like to crunch Rosetta@home should be enough to keep us improving on our 29th place. Our Rosetta RAC is about 8,000. Our total is about 747,000 and that should take us about 32 days to get to one million Rosetta credits. Please help us reach our goals and more.

Thanks

Mike

25) Message boards : Number crunching : What happened to my diskspace? (Message 12724)

I awoke this morning to the message on my home network server that I have less than 200 MB of diskspace left. After investigating, I found that stderr.txt consumed approximately 100 GB of my harddrive. What should I do to resolve this problem?


I would stop the BOINC manager. Read the file and check for any repeating errors and anomalies. If you find any, report them on the board.

If it doesn't look bad, delete the file content and restart the BOINC manager.

I followed the link(s) to find that dude. They talk funny on that forum. I think they are all yankees, or something like that. Can't understand a word they say....

But, his RAC is pretty awesome - his 1700+ is outperforming my Opteron 1800 AS WELL AS the wife's 3400 AMD64. Awesome. Hope he's got his app optimized accurately.....


Indeed Akosf has, Bruce Allen has included some of his code in to the base application and is adding hardware to handle the load when he implements most of the rest.

Bruce has also made some specific request of Akosf, who has been glad to help.

Akosf output files are flagged as his, so the project knows if there is a problem with them (although with Akosf, he usually shows the projects where they made their mistake). The results are at least as accurate as the standard results. Akosf uses less L1 cache (about 16K), which sped the client up enormously. He's swapped around arrays so they fill and empty more quickly.

Quite frankly, when I started with computers in 1972, I used punch cards to program. I've met a number of IT geniuses before and must say, Akosf seems to fit the profile well.

Find out for yourselves, go run Einstein for a while and use the fora to keep track of the optimised applications.

27) Message boards : Number crunching : Help us solve the 1% bug! (Message 12514)

this 1% bug, i think, is a big turnoff for a lot of people. especially the ones with "farms" and can not get to them daily. i had 3 computers at my 2nd job that got stuck for 6 days last week. i reset them saturday and now it looks like 2 of them are stuck on 1% again for the past 2 days. our team is even talking about moving on to something else because of the 1% bug and wasted cpu cycles. we really like rosetta as a whole but it seems to require a lot more monitoring than other projects. hope it is solved soon.


I only have a hobby farm and I still had trouble finding the stuck WU's. Unfortunatly or otherwise, or team tactics have changed so I'm only crunching four projects at the moment. I've run out of RAH, WU's but will be back when we have achived our next team goal ;-)

I have a work unit that has been stuck at 1% for 10:53:49. I just noticed it.

Does anyone want to have a look or should I just restart it?
