21) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : Another round of HIV vaccine research? (Message 31799) Posted 29 Nov 2006 by Buffalo Bill Post: The task lists on all my machines are loaded with PSH...GP120... WU's. It's a great feeling when I know exactly what my machines are working on and how relevant the work is. Dr. Baker's Post (Wonder how that area of the project is going).
22) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems with Rosetta version 5.40 (Message 31793) Posted 29 Nov 2006 by Buffalo Bill Post: This one tried to upload several times and I tried to get it to upload with "retry now". I kept getting a message about the file being locked by the scheduler. After a reboot and a few more tries I aborted the upload and it caused the WU to error out. 49343410

Some people started posting it, not knowing what it was, and they'll continue posting it forever just because...This is the thread that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friend........................................

26) Message boards : Number crunching : Your computer has only 469221376 bytes of memory (Message 30932) Posted 11 Nov 2006 by Buffalo Bill Post: This old laptop sits in a corner of my work area in the basement and crunches Rosetta 24/7 with 192MB. Only refused a WU twice. Last time was 6 days ago but still got one soon after. It ran through CASP 7 with no problems. 192MB
27) Message boards : Number crunching : CPU Time not accurate? (Message 30349) Posted 31 Oct 2006 by Buffalo Bill Post: Sometimes they just need a good swift kick ;)
28) Message boards : Number crunching : CPU Time not accurate? (Message 30343) Posted 31 Oct 2006 by Buffalo Bill Post: Hi Soren, Even though you have your BOINC manager set to Run Always, be sure you have this setting in your General Preferences (in your account settings): Do work while computer is in use? = YES Bill
29) Message boards : Number crunching : 0 credit work unit? (Message 30033) Posted 26 Oct 2006 by Buffalo Bill Post: I also got one of those "check skipped" units and got 20 credits after a delay. You usually have to check the actual WU result to see it. I have always gotten credit for failed units as long as they did some useful work. One of the things I like about Rosetta. Bill
30) Message boards : Number crunching : Report problems with Rosetta version 5.32 (Message 29796) Posted 21 Oct 2006 by Buffalo Bill Post: This one seemed fine at first but has an error and no credit granted. 42988975 <core_client_version>5.4.9</core_client_version> <stderr_txt> # random seed: 2052132 # cpu_run_time_pref: 14400 WARNING! error deleting file .aa1t4o.out ====================================================== DONE :: 1 starting structures built 17 (nstruct) times This process generated 17 decoys from 17 attempts 0 starting pdbs were skipped ====================================================== BOINC :: Watchdog shutting down...

31) Message boards : Number crunching : 1000+ new hosts in past two days & question (Message 29550) Posted 18 Oct 2006 by Buffalo Bill Post: I got an e-mail from Seti@Home back in March 2006. I had been with their project from June 1999 into 2000. So when I came back to have a look I discovered BOINC and joined Rosetta. In my case Rosetta gained from Seti's e-mail to me. I just got their new one too.
32) Message boards : Number crunching : More seeds or more decoys per seed? (Message 28735) Posted 30 Sep 2006 by Buffalo Bill Post: A few months ago one of the project team posted in response to this type of question. The only actual number he gave was for an average desktop crunching Rosetta 24/7. He said "8 hours would be fine" or something like that if bandwidth wasn't a problem. He wouldn't give any other suggestions to those crunching several projects or if your machine was off part of the day.
33) Message boards : Number crunching : Exceedingly FAST models (Message 27907) Posted 21 Sep 2006 by Buffalo Bill Post: Over on Ralph I am getting about 100 models/hour per core on my AMD64 X2 4800+ (not O/C'd). Some had only 57 steps for each model. EDIT: Those are all PSH______ WU's.
34) Message boards : Number crunching : We need a new forum (Message 26974) Posted 16 Sep 2006 by Buffalo Bill Post: comp.distributed looks good. I show about 42 posts with most having little or nothing to do with the subject. Bill
35) Message boards : Number crunching : Another discussion on the New Credit System (Message 26893) Posted 16 Sep 2006 by Buffalo Bill Post: The new one works fine for me.
36) Message boards : Number crunching : RAC dropping (Message 26483) Posted 10 Sep 2006 by Buffalo Bill Post: So if I've figured this out correctly, the first machines to report would be somewhat slow machines set for the shortest possible WU run time, the shortest possible que and to report as soon as the WU finishes. The slower machines will probably cut the WU off well before 1 hour, maybe after say one 45 minute decoy, while the faster machines with more decoys per hour will run closer to the full hour. Even then, what are the chances of being in the first ten returns? For me, I run 24 hours on my slow box and 6 hours on the others with a 1 day que of WU's. My chances of being in the first 1,000 are remote at best. I don't see this being an issue unless you are trying very hard to be the first return. Bill
37) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : Personal Milestones (Message 26421) Posted 9 Sep 2006 by Buffalo Bill Post: Just passed 100,000 for Rosetta. Bill
38) Message boards : Number crunching : RAC dropping (Message 26335) Posted 8 Sep 2006 by Buffalo Bill Post: I've read that some small cache machines are getting lower granted credits but my Celeron D is getting about 30% more granted credits than claimed. I didn't expect that when the new credit system started. I was sure I'd get less. Bill
39) Message boards : Number crunching : credit/hour how much is possible?? (Message 25541) Posted 30 Aug 2006 by Buffalo Bill Post: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+ 2GB RAM - 15.7*2 = 31.4/hr Intel Celeron 2.93GHz 1GB RAM - 10.9/hr x86 Family 6 Model 8 Stepping 3 600MHz 192MB RAM (Win 98 SE) - 3.3/hr
40) Message boards : Number crunching : Report work units with unusual amount of credits granted (Message 24810) Posted 25 Aug 2006 by Buffalo Bill Post: I also got a high credit for a single T362 WU. Most of my credits are higher now as I always used the standard client but this one is quite a bit higher. http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/result.php?resultid=34125114 Bill
