2) Message boards : Number crunching : WHAT ARE CREDITS FOR!!!! (Message 9389) Posted 19 Jan 2006 by The Pirate Post: Just don't start looking at them, look at me, 9 computers in the house, fully disabled with mental illness and depressed because I don't have enough computing power ... So, put down that signature and step away from the computer and no one gets hurt ... Mama don't let your babies grow up to be BOINC stat watchers ... Boy, I sure know where you are coming from on this one. Man I just gotta get my RAC up. p.s. Keep looking over your shoulder Paul.
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Who is the official tech here (Message 9312) Posted 18 Jan 2006 by The Pirate Post: Nope, it's not me.
4) Message boards : Number crunching : BIG credit problem! User has a zillion credits! (Message 7853) Posted 28 Dec 2005 by The Pirate Post: I'm in this project for the science, so it doesn't bother me one way or the other is someone is cheating on the credits. As long as they are not cheating the science.
5) Message boards : Number crunching : Please abort WUs with (Message 6965) Posted 21 Dec 2005 by The Pirate Post: Things like this happen. To me, it doesn't matter if I get credit for the aborted wu's or not. As long as the sun comes up tomorrow I won't sweat it. I have a couple of 'puters crunching the Seti@Home test project and no credit is granted for the work, good or bad.
6) Message boards : Number crunching : opteron 280 (Message 4209) Posted 25 Nov 2005 by The Pirate Post: My pair of 275's are all over the place on Rosetta. I have some Wu's that only take 40 munutes and some that take almost 3hrs. As a rule they fall between 1.5hrs and 2.5 hrs per cpu.
7) Message boards : Number crunching : Client Error (Message 2673) Posted 8 Nov 2005 by The Pirate Post: I had 4 linux computers running 4.19 that errored constantly until I upgraded to 5.2.x. Since then I have only had one client error in several weeks.
8) Message boards : Number crunching : GIANT work unit (Message 1964) Posted 31 Oct 2005 by The Pirate Post: I've had a couple that stuck at 1%. Stopping Boinc and restarting has worked for me.
9) Message boards : Number crunching : Linux vs Windows point awards (Message 1927) Posted 29 Oct 2005 by The Pirate Post: Yea, this subject has pretty much been beaten to death.
10) Message boards : Number crunching : Loads and loads of computing errors today (Message 1893) Posted 28 Oct 2005 by The Pirate Post: Holy cow, I hadn't checked for a few days. Several of my linux boxes are throwing up all over the place with R@H errors. Both multi processor and single processor. All my windows computers seem to be running ok. Question is, should I detatch from R@H and wait for it to get fixed or let it run so R@H can "test". One is running the 5.2.2 but I'm not at them right now. I'll check later tonight. Try upgrading the 4.19 clients if you can. They seem to be giving the errors. It's a bit early but, upgrading to the 5.2.4 linux client appears to have corrected the problem.

12) Message boards : Number crunching : 1% for 37 hours (Message 1555) Posted 21 Oct 2005 by The Pirate Post: Are you running any of the other BOINC projects? If so, with what result? What I'm trying to establish is, is this a you/Rosetta problem or a you/BOINC in general problem. Myself, I have only had it stick on Rosetta. All other projects run jus fime.
13) Message boards : Number crunching : Computational Error (Message 1132) Posted 9 Oct 2005 by The Pirate Post: Paul, let me add to this, this is only happening on my dual processor computers. One is running dual AMD MP 2100's on windows 32 bit SP2, one is running dual AMD MP 2600's on Linux and one is running a pair of Opteron 275's (4 cpu's) on Windows 64 bit. I do have BOINC set to leave it in memory.
14) Message boards : Number crunching : Client Errors (Message 933) Posted 4 Oct 2005 by The Pirate Post: Both my multi-cpu computers haven't had the error since since the 27th when I set Rosetta to stay in memory. One of them has done a bench mark since then and that didn't cause any errors, of course that one has 8 gigs of memory.
15) Message boards : Number crunching : New question for the Rosetta Team (Message 836) Posted 1 Oct 2005 by The Pirate Post: As far as granting credit goes, if you return a valid result with out client error, you are grantid credit immediately.
16) Message boards : Number crunching : Client Errors (Message 721) Posted 28 Sep 2005 by The Pirate Post: I am also getting the " Exit Code -1073741819 (0xc0000005))" error only on my multi-processor pc's. Both computers are not over clocked or over heating. Since Rosete@home is the ONLY app. that is getting this error and both get the same error. All other apps.,Seti@home, Einstein@home, LHC@home, ProteinPredictor@home and SetiBeta@home are running without errors, at this point, I am disinclined to start swapping things around. Of course I have seen stranger things happen in the past.
17) Message boards : Number crunching : Client Errors (Message 667) Posted 27 Sep 2005 by The Pirate Post: I just set it to stay in memory. I'll see if that helps.
18) Message boards : Number crunching : Client Errors (Message 663) Posted 27 Sep 2005 by The Pirate Post: Last night I added three more windows computers to this project. One runs Windows 32 bit with dual AMD MP 2100's and one is running Windows 64 bit with dual Opteron 275's. Both multi processor computers are getting some Client errors on Rosetta@Home. Some WU's complete ok however. On S@H, P@h, E@H and LHC they run just fine.
19) Message boards : Number crunching : Crossproject ID (Message 564) Posted 27 Sep 2005 by The Pirate Post: Rosetta still hasn't shown up in my sig. and I have been crunching for a while. The email address is correct and so is the cross project ID.
20) Message boards : Number crunching : Bug in Rosetta for Linux (Message 562) Posted 27 Sep 2005 by The Pirate Post: I think it is with the Rosetta linux client. I am running 3 or 4 distributed projects on four different linux boxes and they all run at 99%. One has dual AMD mp 2600's and both cpu's run at 99%. Currently I am only running Rosetta on Windows XP64 with an AMD 3000 cpu.
