1) Message boards : Number crunching : two "validate errors" in 24 hours (Message 52759) Posted 27 Apr 2008 by Shoikan Post: Well, that's it, two in a row today convinced me to leave this project. It's a pity though, because I think that the science behind it is very promising. But something have to be done to the SW. I'll gladly reattach when the serious issues with WU validation are adressed. Regards PD: Sorry about the lousy english
2) Message boards : Number crunching : two "validate errors" in 24 hours (Message 52754) Posted 27 Apr 2008 by Shoikan Post: What I mean is that I'm getting one of this errors almost every day, and that it doesn't seem like compute errors, the WUs run complete, then error out when they are uploaded. It's a waste of cycles methinks.

10) Message boards : Number crunching : No checkpoint in more than 1 hour - Largescale_large_fullatom... (Message 13944) Posted 17 Apr 2006 by Shoikan Post: Thanks for the quick replys! So do I need to have my switch time > time for the entire WU to complete? Isn't there any checkpointing? -Sid ALL Work Units will checkpoint at the completion of a model. For some Work Units this means every 5 minuets, for larger ones this could mean 5 or six hours. Also ALL Work units will complete AT LEAST one model no matter how you set your user selectable time setting The BEST answer if you can do it, is to set your preferences to keep the application in memory during a swap. You could try to set the swap time to 4+ hours, but there is no guarantee that that will make it to a checkpoint. It depends on the size of the protein. Also keep in mind that "keep in memory" only works if you do not turn your machine off, or stop BOINC for some reason, as these actions would also remove the application from memory. This issue has to be adressed ASAP. Many cycles go directly to the trash can because of this. An improved checkpointing system should be #1 priority on the TO DO list of the development team of Rosie. Regards.

12) Message boards : Number crunching : Incredible (Message 13747) Posted 14 Apr 2006 by Shoikan Post: How about giving a few example links to the failed WUs from your machine, and a description of your computer's OS, OS version, amount of Ram, cpu, and cpu speed, and free HD space? OK, I'll do it, but still doesn't replied to my question. Regards.
13) Message boards : Number crunching : Incredible (Message 13746) Posted 14 Apr 2006 by Shoikan Post: Then, why aren't they testing their new workunits in the testing environment? I can't understand it. Regards and thank you for replying.

Do not advise it as a working project, it is at beta state, saying the best. PS: sorry about the lousy english.
