Boo, wish I read this sooner...I tried reseting the project, which promptly killed about 6 results ;(

Rosetta Beta 5.85 WU's are using lot's of Memory and let my PC's crash. I cancel all 5.85 jobs. When not possible to cancel, Rosetta will be shut off until this problem is solved.

When running those I also use way too much VM [1.3 GB] I've got 12 beta 5.85 wu's left. What to do? Delete and wait for better times or suspend [deadlines? on the horizon] them till they have a fix for it?

Kind regards.

no matter how i set my prefs the project is always telling me that i dont have enough disk space, there's plenty of disk, it all seems to have started after the latest BOINC download and i've fiddled with the pref settings but no success

i keep getting errors... after a year and a half of running ok

Downloaded Boinc 5.10.29 fro the Mac and now i cant get any work units downloaded as BOINC complains about a lack of disk space ?


I've fiddled with the settings cant some up with anything that'll make it happy, anyone else ? And yes there's plenty of disk space.

Is it a problem with BOINC or Rosetta 5.85 ?

Well, I don't know about any memory problems, but I certainly noticed a 65% increase in time it took to crunch a WU (1gidA_BOINC_WEAKVDW_RNA_ABINITIO_SAVE_...). My bucket usually needs about 3 hours to finish a unit, but now with this 5.85 Beta it took a whooping 4:57:15! The excess time was in fact the last 5-7% which are usually reported as being completed in about 10 minutes. This time, those 10 minutes took 2 hours...

Yes, I was sitting here and watching it almost constantly (as I was waiting for the WU to finish before I was going to shut off the client for a while), and no, I wasn't doing anything else that would have had any impact on CPU performance. This is a bit... ridiculous. Makes me wish for 5.86 already. :P

There is something seriously wrong with the application. It's not a virtual memory hog it's a complete memory hog. I don't have virtual memory, have 2GiB of physical memory. Rosetta now uses 800MB of that for one wu. With the 600MB normally used this is not enough to run two or sometimes even one. I am aborting all version 5.85 tasks until they are disabled.

I mean it's not like Rosetta has turned into Predictor! :)

Are you certain?

Read my post above. Stop complaining!

I'll save Matt the trouble, lol :)

Hey guys! Let's post and complain multiple times every day when something goes wrong, and then be completely silent 99.5% of the time when things are working perfectly!!!!!!11

So when has Rosetta ever worked perfectly?

It's been 3 days since an XML update. Anyone know what's going on? There's a whole lot of silence on the Home Page, or anywhere else for that matter. Any info. would be greatly appreciated.
