1) Message boards : Number crunching : New Motherboard, old Disk and Rosetta (Message 61705) Posted 12 Jun 2009 by Winkle Post: I have been watching the server fairly closely, and this is what I have noticed. It will do WUs for a few days and then crunch to 100%, but instead of stopping at 8 hrs, the percentage goes to 100% and the CPU time still increases. If I then suspend the project (not the WU) and resume the project, it moves onto the next WU and makes the frozen one "ready to run" If I stop and restart the BOINC process the percent complete drops to around 14% and CPU time drops to 1hr 40 mins. The task is lb_thread_all_multi_hb_t305__IGNORE_THE_REST_12722_13_1 using minirosetta version 1.71 Ian
2) Message boards : Number crunching : New Motherboard, old Disk and Rosetta (Message 61602) Posted 7 Jun 2009 by Winkle Post: Hi, It has been a long time since I was on here. I searched the boards for a problem similar but found none. My Win 2000 Domain Controller (ID 225837) tossed in its motherboard a few weeks ago, so I transferred the Hard Drive into another machine, and with a bit of tweaking and new drivers it all came back properly except Boinc and Rosetta. Boinc would occasionally fail to start with a "dll failed to load" error, and Rosetta would run for days at 100% complete, forcing me to abort he units (I hate doing this). I ended up uninstalling BOINC 5.10.45 and reinstalling. 5.10.45 was the only one I could find which would run on a domain controller. I am running as a service. It appears to now be OK, and has punched out 2 work units since. Is there a way of getting the later Boinc to run on a Domain Controller, and has anyone else noticed this behavior? Ian
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems with Rosetta stable version 5.69 and beta version 5.77 (Message 46941) Posted 24 Sep 2007 by Winkle Post: Thanks, will do. I hadn't realised it all had changed so much. The computers simply sit there and crunch away. Winkle, looks like you are running BOINC version 5.4.9 on that machine. Suggest you start by downloading and installing a more current BOINC version.
4) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems with Rosetta stable version 5.69 and beta version 5.77 (Message 46896) Posted 24 Sep 2007 by Winkle Post: Sorry for the late reply. The BOINC version is 5.4.9. I just got back from Fiji, and left it running while I was away. All the other machines were fine, but on this one BOINC had locked up. I rebooted and had to kill the tasks, and now operates normally. The machine number is 225833 Regards Ian Winkle, I hear such thing about Linux off and on, but I see all of your machines are Windows. Which one is seeing this occur? What BOINC version is installed there?

I suspended the Rosetta project through BOINC manager, and the project came up suspended, but task manager still says Rosetta is running at approx 90% CPU time. Is this a known bug ? Ian

I know first hand what its like to be diagnosed and the stress it puts on everyone... Every day is now a blessing and I am living life to the fullest and enjoying every bit of it, especially watching the kids grow, mature and succeed in life.
