1) Message boards : Number crunching : System requirements???? (Message 50043) Posted 25 Dec 2007 by Scottatron Post: Still having trouble getting work here, getting the same message relating to having insufficient memory.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : No work sent? (Message 49288) Posted 1 Dec 2007 by Scottatron Post: Why the sudden need for machines to have 800meg? Once my machines (All have 512 ram) run out, they'll have to crunch something else.
3) Message boards : Number crunching : No work sent? (Message 49248) Posted 30 Nov 2007 by Scottatron Post: So why are WUs all of a sudden needing 800000000 ? Tis a bit harsh!

5) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems with Rosetta version 5.85 (or 5.86 for linux) (Message 48978) Posted 23 Nov 2007 by Scottatron Post: I am getting constant run time errors for 5.85 WUs Microsoft Visual C++ It then lists the exe file location (C:program filesetc\| This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an usual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information
6) Message boards : Number crunching : Welcome Back! (Message 45772) Posted 9 Sep 2007 by Scottatron Post: I doubt it, the scientific results would be pumped into a database on a regular basis - and there would be backups done (Hopefully!)
7) Message boards : Number crunching : Welcome Back! (Message 45770) Posted 9 Sep 2007 by Scottatron Post: Give the project time, and uploads etc will all work again.
8) Questions and Answers : Windows : Machine will not download enough work! (Message 42190) Posted 14 Jun 2007 by Scottatron Post: Oh, and it is connected to the net 24/7 as well. Which leads me to ask why you are trying to handle 6-10 days of work in the first place? Such a thing is normally done by people on dial-up connections with machines that do not connect to the internet very frequently. Which leads me to point out that one of the main features of BOINC is that it has a caching facility in case the project is down for maintenance/uncontactable for any reason.
9) Questions and Answers : Windows : Machine will not download enough work! (Message 42161) Posted 14 Jun 2007 by Scottatron Post: If you are downloading that many days of work because the machine will not have internet access for a while, you might consider raising your runtime preference. This is in your Rosetta Preferences. It will let you crunch up to 24hrs on a single downloaded task. So you'd only need 10 tasks to keep you busy for 10 days. Keep in mind that the deadlines are 10 days, so you'll want to plan to connect before the deadlines. If it meets with your requirements, you might also adjust your General Preferences for the amount of disk space BOINC is allowed to use. Or adjust the minimum amount that it must leave remaining. Try this even just temporarily to confirm if indeed that is the problem with this machine. Don't forget to update to the project for the changes to take effect. Have mucked around with those settings (minimum disk space left etc). I will try the whole 24hr WU idea next time I access that machine. Oh, and it is connected to the net 24/7 as well.
10) Questions and Answers : Windows : Machine will not download enough work! (Message 42095) Posted 12 Jun 2007 by Scottatron Post: If the cause is low disk space, there will be a message on the messages tab that indicates this. For reference, this thread discusses several reasons you may not be getting new work. All the facts are relevant for any two or more BOINC projects, I just put SETI in the subject line because SETI was down for several days and I knew that would be a question for many. Are you also crunching other BOINC projects? Does your message indicate there are xxx seconds of work being requested from Rosetta as shown in the thread referenced above? What is the connect every xxx number of days set to in your General Preferences? To answer the questions: No mention about low disk space in messages. I have set it to connect from 6 - 10 days in general prefs (for testing), and messages state it is requesting loads (same as other machine) of work. Rosetta is the only project the machine in question is attached to. I suspect it is due to low space - even though the message tab isn't showing anything. My conclusion is that I have two IDENTICAL machines I crunch on, one has plenty of disk space and has plenty of work.....the other is the one I posted about.
11) Questions and Answers : Windows : Machine will not download enough work! (Message 42061) Posted 11 Jun 2007 by Scottatron Post: I have an issue with the following machine http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/show_host_detail.php?hostid=526796 It will not download more than around 4 WUs at a time. I have tried detaching/reattaching. Have uninstalled/reinstalled. Uninstalled (then deleted leftover files) and reinstalled. No joy. In the "daily quota" section it shows "Maximum daily WU quota per CPU 100/day". I have an identical machine at the same location which has a nice cache of work. Any ideas? My hunch is low disk space on the same drive BOINC is installed on - however my prefs "should" override this....

14) Message boards : Number crunching : Advance copies of the soon-to-be-released executable (Message 32617) Posted 14 Dec 2006 by Scottatron Post: Unzip to the directory you mentioned, and BOINC will not download it again.

16) Message boards : Number crunching : Sending scheduler request says new version is available? (Message 29922) Posted 24 Oct 2006 by Scottatron Post: That still doesn't answer why on intermittent times, a scheduler response from Rosetta ONLY has the whole "There is a new version available" message....
17) Message boards : Number crunching : Sending scheduler request says new version is available? (Message 29906) Posted 23 Oct 2006 by Scottatron Post: Boincs' "all versions" php NOTE: 5.6.5 is still alpha, use at own risk etc. You will occasionally see "bad libcurl argument" message in "messages tab", this has already been fixed in the next version and doesn't really harm anything. A few other minor issues have also been addressed, but overall, it seems to work fine for me. Thanks, but why is the server advertising an alpha?
