I started on an IMB 360 60 back in 72, after donateing time to the country for the war in Vietnam, but with some good luck I never went there.

In 1977 switched from private companies to the Govt. and stayed there. Companies have many advantages over working for State Govt. but I got to retire with a good penson at the age og 55. Figure I should go out while the health is good and enjoy it, than take something part time later.

I have nothing to do anymore. Because i'm not a 24/7 user my engine couldn't handle these workunits. The ones I tried were still busy [already nine hours on 1.4%] with Model ONE[1]when I have to power off. And no way I start all over again with 'these creatures.'
It seem there are no other goodies in the Rosetta shop because all I get are....largescale workunits. I give up.


Looks like you have one of those that get stuck at 1.4%. If you have your run time set at 2 or 4 hours they will finish in that time unless thay get stuck like these. Quite a few of the bad units were issue a few days ago, all cancelled now. You have your computer hidden so we can not see if that is one of them but would bet it is.

Dues the hidden compters mean that you are using one from work which you should not run this on? Can't think of any other reasion to hide the system.

I just aborted WU TRUNCATE_TERMINI_FULLRELAX_1b3aA_433_20_2 as this was still at 1.04% at close to 10 hours (CPU time= 35,419.17 seconds).

When I checked the graphics a few times in the last hour nothing was hapening there also.

Good answer so if a WU can produce 100 models with the operations being performed by running it longer to less often it will be sent out with a new starting point. Well not exactely but works like that. So I think I will keep the longer run times and give them more on the protiens that I work on. Shorter times will give fewer models per protine but more protines analized.

Best is getting 10 times more houst on the project and most running longer times. That would give them more of both, protines analized and number of models per protine. Now if everyone gets on a recrutement drive with there friends, family and co-workers that can be done. I don't wory about the bandwidth used on my internet connection but longer times helps those who do.

One more point, wife dues not like me running this, says I should work on one looking for a cure for diabetes. I don't know but I can not think of whare DC could help on diabetes.

Just saw the default run time was canged to 2 hours. I just set mine to 4 hours, hope that the project gets more out of the extra time. If Dr. Baker could give us a little info on his page about weather he gets more from longer run times that may be appreciated by a lot of people.

Post:
When we can set the targrt run time for work, will Rosetta get much more science if it is set to something like 10 hours or 1 day? More accurate in finding things like the low energy point?

If on another system that gives Rosetta less time will the project louse much if it is changed from the default 8 hours down to 6 hours?

I know that we were allowed to change these but was wondering about the benifit (or loss) by changeing to a longer or shorter time.

EDIT: But longer run times would be easier on the servers. END EDIT

For those who have been looking for optomized App's. on Rosetta the time spent would be the same. But may get a lot more out of the unit if they get more info as if longer a run time.

I am running BOINC 4.72 on two machines and have never had one stuck at 1%. Also I do not run P@H, could it be a Rosetta & newer BOINC problem? Or a Rosetta & P@H problem.

In reading this thread I see others running BOINC 4.72 who never had one stuck at 1%.

That version will do what the other do. Boinc in continually under improvement and so the next official version should be like the one you have "minus" bugs +additional "features".

good luck

Dues this mean that the BUGS will become "additional features"

I have several machines with 256MB running Rosetta without any problems.....


256MB is fine for a dedicated cruncher. The 512MB recomendation is for the typical type of computer running rosetta, meaning one with some other purpose and where rosetta is supposed to quietly eat spare cycles without affecting performance. If the system has 512MB+ memory installed then the amount rosetta uses will be too small a fraction of that to have a significant impact on the system's responsiveness.


Really should go with 512 Meg or more for Rosetta. My HD started running hotter part the time Rosetta was running at first, increased ram from 512 to 1024 Megs and it colled off again. Run times also dropped by about 10%. 256 Megs will work but hit the swapp file to often and will burn out the HD.

I just got some of thses units with the 8 hr. run time and 2 week deadline. Just started running one, will be able to tell after that if it takes much longer.

This unit (Result ID 7393548) stuck at 10% for 10 hours. Aborted it when I got home and spotted that.

With all the ongoing complaints about WU errors, perhaps it would help if the project stated the total error rate they see in the database to put things into perspective. Judging from the ~2000 WUs I have crunched, I would guess that it must be considerably below 1% (one failed WU among 184 on my current results page). It might also be of interest to see how the error rate varies across different hosts/OS type/BOINC versions...


I have to agree with you, I have only had 1 bad unit since I started in Sept. 05, aborted that at about 10 hours at 1%. Would have timed out on it's own if I let it run. And at one time when they had a batch of bad units I had a bunch crash at about 1 secound just like everyone else but the total errror rate would be less than .5% which is not bad.

I have to admit that for a short while I was aborting units that were returned by other systems 2 to 4 times as bad, but than I ran some of those and had no problems with them. Guess that some systems run these better than others, but give more problems on other programs.

Will be fireing up an old K6 in a while, wonder if that will run Rosetta? Think not, can onlt get 192 Megs ram in it without buying more.

Cheers
