1) Message boards : Number crunching : horns5 work units (Message 99834) Posted 30 Nov 2020 by amgthis Post: Now this morning I find the 'True_Relax_SAVE_ALLxxxx' are sucking all available RAM and running the swap file up to the point where the box nearly dies. watch those, I'm wondering if they have a memory leak. Seems like it takes them 10 mins. or so before they really start 'sucking' it all up fast.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : 23.3 GB RAM per Rosetta WU (Message 99833) Posted 30 Nov 2020 by amgthis Post: I just noticed that this morning. Basically locked up my box. lol Memory leak??? I'm deleting all I see.
3) Message boards : Number crunching : horns5 work units (Message 99743) Posted 22 Nov 2020 by amgthis Post: These 'horns5' work units take too much memory for what I have available so I've taken to just deleting them. They typically suck ~ 4gigs of RAM on my boxes, and with 4 cores I end up going to swap memory and then I have paused jobs while the box waits to free up memory. I only have a few boxes with 16g of RAM most are at 8 and I think I might still have one or two with 4g which of course are barely adequate to run 4 cores and Rosetta. So I've upgraded most of those but they are older and DDR2 ram is needed. This morning I see another 'hornsx' flavor, maybe '1' or something I didn't write it down. Maybe they won't be so memory intensive. Anyhow I'm not trying to gum up stuff but I like to keep these 4 core cpus busy and not running at 50% while they wait for memory to free up. So that has been my 'fix'. /M
4) Message boards : Number crunching : 0 new tasks, Rosetta? (Message 99408) Posted 26 Oct 2020 by amgthis Post: Yep I'm starting to run out like everyone else. Maybe now that it's Monday morning someone will come in and start generating new WU's for distribution. I can tell when my boxes are starting to run out, the house starts cooling down. lol ..........

6) Message boards : News : Switch to using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) (Message 95766) Posted 2 May 2020 by amgthis Post: No doubt everyone will be paid appropriately for the resulting work. Common cents as they say.
7) Message boards : News : Switch to using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) (Message 95765) Posted 2 May 2020 by amgthis Post: That's what I'm talking about! Good job and thanks.
8) Message boards : News : Switch to using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) (Message 95764) Posted 2 May 2020 by amgthis Post: The URL isn't updated at least in the debian stretch version which is no doubt old anyhow. I'm talking about when you go to 'add project' menus. no https there. not unexpected.
9) Message boards : News : Switch to using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) (Message 95748) Posted 2 May 2020 by amgthis Post: There shudda been a link to this thread in the 'change' message that went out in the BOINC info, IMO. nice to know in hindsight. always check in at HQ before doing ANYTHING. lol
10) Message boards : News : Switch to using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) (Message 95744) Posted 2 May 2020 by amgthis Post: Apparently you are advised to finish any tasks you have d/l for queue, or at least work in progress as AFAIK this will reset your current work and download newer stuff. That's what I'm seeing. Finish work in progress. set for 'no new work' then when convenient dump the project and update with the 'new' project, IOW reset the project basically. Same difference near as I can tell. YMMV but that's what I'm doing.
11) Message boards : News : Switch to using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) (Message 95732) Posted 2 May 2020 by amgthis Post: I just trashed all the work in progress on the first linux (debian) box I tried to update as well. where exactly is this 'detach' again? I can't find it in setup or options anywhere. I ended up adding the project again with the 's' in the correct place by editing the URL in the 'add project' box. then it split the work load between the existing and 'new' project. Of course when I removed the 'old' original project with all work in progress it removed all of the on going work. I guess I need to get an editor and dig into config files. lol just detach and reattach, ez peasy.
12) Message boards : News : Switch to using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) (Message 95726) Posted 2 May 2020 by amgthis Post: I think your current work all gets dumped. I think mine did, for 4 cpus. I'm afraid to try it again.
13) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems and Technical Issues with Rosetta@home (Message 92582) Posted 30 Mar 2020 by amgthis Post: getting an 'temporarily failed upload of (w/u name here xxx ) transient http error' message on upload failure and time out. I'm guessing it's just some new message I've never seen and the project is just getting updated, etc.
14) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems and Technical Issues with Rosetta@home (Message 91836) Posted 2 Mar 2020 by amgthis Post: I haven't seen the small file stall on d/l lately, but did have this one hang a couple of days ago. More than once. rb_02_20_16480_16303_ab_t000_h001_robetta.zip 3.06 KiB I'm still not convinced it's a by-product of super slow DSL on my end. In any case I think it's cleared up.
15) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems and Technical Issues with Rosetta@home (Message 91700) Posted 14 Feb 2020 by amgthis Post: Failed Downloads. I, too have seen many ~3kb or so file size downloads just hang or 'stall' at somewhere around 80-90% completion. Then they just sit and seem to rob my limited bandwidth impeding other traffic up and downloads. I delete the stalled download, then refresh and it gets replaced by new. Then I watch to make sure it d/l's successful. Sometimes a stop and start of 'network access or activity' will let it resume but usually it stalls out again. I've been noticing this for the last couple of weeks I think. Various file names but they are always small files ~3kb or so in size. When you have 20 boxes sharing a 7 Mbs DSL line, bandwidth can be sketchy under the best conditions. 8^( /Mike

I remember back in the old days when you could pretty much count on the project running out of work over Christmas and New Year holidays. It's been awhile though, with the newer hardware upgrades this has not been the case for a few years. Happy Holidays everyone. /Mike

19) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems and Technical Issues with Rosetta@home (Message 81495) Posted 18 Apr 2017 by amgthis Post: All fixed! At least all the backed up stuff is now cleared out. Atta boy Rosetta team, we knew you could do it! Have a great week. Cheers! /M
20) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems and Technical Issues with Rosetta@home (Message 81476) Posted 17 Apr 2017 by amgthis Post: I've got 12 queued that are now past the due date. And another 14 waiting that haven't gone past the due date yet, but more are dropping off all the time. These are spread out on 15 different clients.
