I see we are crunching some of the CASP6 proteins again. I was wondering, with the improvements made in the interim, how todays Rosetta results compare to the CASP6 Rosetta at that time?

Today I've added some minor stuff

1/ info about the Baker Lab scientific team (taken the names from http://depts.washington.edu/bakerpg/members.html (it's nice to see so many nationalities, I even noticed a greek name there too).

2/ some info provided here by eberndl about experimental determination of protein structure ("Protein structures are currently solved, very slowly (it can take weeks or even months to figure out how to crystallize a protein for the first time) and at high cost (about $100,000 USD per protein), in the lab by X-ray crystallography or through Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) experiments.")

Let me know if there are any glaring errors or ommissions (or just go ahead and correct them yourself).

I still need to do the restructuring I mentioned in previous post.

Also, would someone let me know which of the papers in http://depts.washington.edu/~bakerpg/publications.html to include under a "Bibliography" section.

PS: I've no idea how many people read the Wikipedia page (I couldn't find a stats page for individual pages), but I can tell you that my own DC-HOWTO page has been read about 38,000 times (!!!) since I created it in Jan06 and is linked to from over 100 different pages (as I can tell from referrer-log).

could they not pick any hotter months of the year for this? how many of us shut down during the summer, or at least know people that do? just plain stupid.

1) Possibility of understanding how and why proteins can cause disease
2) The possibility of discovering new ways to treat serious illness
3) Advance the general level of human knowledge
4) Assist in the development of distributed computing and new computing tools applicable to a broad range of research
5) Increase my own personal knowledge and understanding of biological science
6) The communication and information flow between the project team and the user community is better at Rosetta than any other project
7) The project is "alive", and new information is posted all the time to keep people informed about how their computers are being used and where the project is going.
8) The projects willingness to incorporate user ideas into the project and their responsiveness to users requesting help in the forums
9) The opportunity to participate in creating the next version of the software by running RALPH@home along side of Rosetta@home.
10) The project site and Forums are not so different form other BOINC projects that users can't find what they need

This project stands out among other BOINC projects because of the information flow from the project to the users. Many other projects provide no information updates of any kind, but at Rosetta it is actually difficult to keep up with all the new information updates.

On many BOINC projects pleas for help from users are actually ignored. That never happens at Rosetta. When users ask for help on the Forums, it is rarely longer than 30 minutes before a project team member, Moderator, or System Administrator responds to help.

Why Rosetta gets my crunch time:

1. Cutting edge research!
2. Potential live saving long-term-goals and concrete short-term-goals!
3. Competition in CASP7 with the winning team!
4. Detailed science updates and transparency what's done!
5. Nice and responsive project team!
6. User setable length of Work units!
7. Nice and active community!
8. No outages - work always available!
9. Scientifically renowned project leader!
10. Nice screensaver!

Perhaps we can make a page with serveral such 10 reasons why...

This makes us very happy!! now how do you get these lists out to the general
boinc community?
thanks,
David

I also have a similar issue wher I have set in the preferences to hide the computers and they are still shown in my profile. It seem the website doesn't obey the program settings very well. Maybe the management should contact SETI@Home or one of the other larger projects for some technical assistance before I yank the program from my PC's for security reasons.

You mean some topics have exlamation marks next to them?

They've been stickied, usually by a mod, so they stay at the top of the page.
I think thats what you meant.. ??

ANother HUGE ammount of CPU time wasted!!!! ...

I believe you must be looking at a WU from Ralph (the beta test of each upcoming Rosetta release). There is some info on the boards there. Great stuff coming!

...nope! Just checked the Rosetta applications page and it shows v5.01, this means it's here already!!!

...and to answer your NEXT question... unless you're having specific problems with Rosetta on your PC, go ahead and crunch the 4.98 WUs.

As a personal asside I might point out that the usefulness of your posting is directly related to the information you provide concerning the problem. Could you at least provide a link to the result ID so the problem can be examined?[/color][/b]

Ok after spending the last 1.5 Hrs looking I found it
Note the time sent and the time sent back over 104 that meens this job was on it's 3rd loop 48 + 48 + 7 Now look at the granted points 8.25156419314919
for for a job that ran for 104 Hrs
Now you can see why I was saying your Auto abort and your granting due credit is not working And the Real need to find a way to purge BAD WU's from the Rosetta Servers and the members clients.
It is unfaire for Rosetta to make us members pay the bills to purge the system of your Bad WU's

Yes it is spill over and you have just proved my point to Angus where he has deliberately spammed threads for the only fact that they were closed by the thread author. Thank you!

There have been more supporting evidence but this was the original post. Since the acct name was just recently changed you'll have IP info to go with it. Admin can check the weblogs against both accounts. As I have said previously you can delete this whenever you want as it was meant only for you mods.

17128664 seemed to be going wrong. It was still under 2% finished after more then an hour of crunching. It was moving, because I'd noticed it at 1.87% and later saw it had crawled to 1.9%, so not a 1% issue.

Thing is, next time I looked at it, ~5 minutes later, it was complate and ready to report. Note despite a 7200 seconds preference, it ran for a lot less.

The WU will start at 1%. Then there will be small increments as the WU goes through several stages of the first model (less than 1% total). After each model a larger jump in percentage is made based on how many models the rosetta app thinks it can do. If it doesn't think it can fit another model in without running too far over, the percent will jump directly to 100%.
