23) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : Random Seed (Message 3150) Posted 14 Nov 2005 by Golden Turtle Post: Can somone please explain 'Random Seeds'? I see:- #====etc #random seed: {eg}1021801#=== etc and also sometimes a second #random seed# and occasionaly a third, they appear on each WU showing in BOINC LogX history for each WU completed. Are lower numbers good or bad? I have looked in the Wiki but see no explanation.
24) Message boards : Number crunching : Rosetta WU staying in memory when preempted... (Message 1767) Posted 26 Oct 2005 by Golden Turtle Post: Last 120 WUs have no 'exits early'. Running 5.2.2 for a few days now. IBM Think Centre. Windows SP2, 256MB Ram. 2.8GB, and 750MB in Virtual RAM. Have not noticed any "hanging WUs", at least not to excess.
25) Message boards : Number crunching : Rosetta WU staying in memory when preempted... (Message 1761) Posted 26 Oct 2005 by Golden Turtle Post: Hi. Prob best to wait for one of the staff to answer this question, I would like to know the answer too. (your kitty looks just like ours}.
26) Questions and Answers : Windows : Disk Space Setting (Message 1671) Posted 24 Oct 2005 by Golden Turtle Post: Hi. you need to go to - Your Account - Preferences - General - Disk Memory - Usage. I have mine set at 5Gb but this is prob too much, but it works!
27) Message boards : Number crunching : Increased to 512MB as recommended memory requirement (Message 1411) Posted 16 Oct 2005 by Golden Turtle Post: Well now! I have an IBM Think Centre 2.8GB Desk Top just about 1 year old. Windows XP Pro 2 with 256 Ram and have set Virtual Ram at 750mb. Average time for a WU is about 2 1/2 hrs, range is between 2hr 02min and 4hr 40m. That is over the last 50 WUs. There are some 20 GB unused so no problem using Virtual Ram, or so it seems. Not so sure I see the need for the latest uptodate super super high memory and all the gizmos. PC runs more or less 24/7 on Rosetta. No WUs have exited early since Beta testing ended.
28) Questions and Answers : Windows : Benchmark and unrecoverable error (Message 1141) Posted 9 Oct 2005 by Golden Turtle Post: WU 1cfyA abrelax12236 got an 'unrecoverable error' just as Benchmarks started to run although memory is set to YES. Rosetta is the only project currently running. See that 1 sec before Benchmark started to run that WU was removed from memory. So unfair as the WU was almost completed (past 91%).
29) Questions and Answers : Windows : 8 failed WUs (Message 928) Posted 3 Oct 2005 by Golden Turtle Post: I have had a few of these as well. They seem to "come and go" with the different types of workunits. I have also noticed there is a disturbing amount of hosts like this one, and this one, and this one etc etc etc that have downloaded hundreds of results but for one reason or another as listed in stderr_out all have zero CPU time before they are returned as failures. Thanks for your answer. can only hope that Rosetta pples are aware of all this

31) Questions and Answers : Windows : 8 failed WUs (Message 895) Posted 2 Oct 2005 by Golden Turtle Post: this evening within last hour or so following Wus all exited . 29287 0 0 24675 0 0 18800 1 0 18845 1 0 with message [boinclogx] exit code 529697949 [0xe06d7363] *unhandled exception** reason unknown exception [0xe67363] at address 0x7c81eb33 exiting. and following 31079 0 0 31175 0 0 31108 0 0 31012 0 0 with message [boinclogx] the system cannot find the path specified [0x3] exit code3 [0x3].. HELP!!
32) Questions and Answers : Windows : Backwards running WU (Message 617) Posted 27 Sep 2005 by Golden Turtle Post: I unsuspended the WU and overnight it completed.
33) Questions and Answers : Windows : Backwards running WU (Message 576) Posted 27 Sep 2005 by Golden Turtle Post: At approx 10.30pm 9/26 saw WU 1pva A abralax 18415 0 at 91.67% complete, but at 11.00pm same day WU was at 83.33% complete!! WU is presently suspended by me. Should I abort it or unsuspend and let it run? No other programs running at the time except for logX and taskmaster which is at around 95%.
34) Message boards : Number crunching : Error report (Message 478) Posted 25 Sep 2005 by Golden Turtle Post: Thanks for the tip. Leave application in memory while preempted =YES works for me. Previously there were 4 WUs in succession with the error message, now all seems to work fine.All the errors came at switch from one BOINC project to Rosetta.
