Post: I find it funny that this is the week I decided to start running Rosseta again. I haven't been doing this for a while, but spun a server up only to find out it cannot get work! lol. I just added another project, but still find it funny... |

Team Points STOLEN!!!!! Over 6 Million Points!

Post: Nite Owl, Morphy375, Scribe, et al., could it be, that you did not notice a "Foundership Takeover Request" for your Teddies team sometimes around mid December 2007? The waiting period is 2 months: Wow.. What a scam if this is what it turns out to be. Troll sites looking for teams with a lot of points but mostly inactive members, send a request for transfer of ownership, and if no one responds, inherit a few million points you didn't earn. I think they need to be looked at across BOINC...... |

Post: Since I run all my servers/pcs headless and run the software as a service that does not interact with the desktop, I forget the screen savers are there! lol. I know how to make them work, but why bother bogging down the PC if it is crunching! :-) There's a bug in the current minirosetta screensaver that should hopefully be fixed in the next update. It is currently being tested on ralph. |

Computer array crunching?
(Message 53231)
Posted 21 May 2008 by jaxom1
Post: One other thing you should consider, depending on where you live. Summer is coming up quick in the US. If you live on the Top side of the world, there will be a lot of waste heat generated by an array of computer systems, which will need to be taken care of. When talking electric bill, just don't forget about cooling all those PCs running at Max. |

Posted 13 May 2008 by jaxom1
Post: I have read several threads on this, so I know it has been talked about over and over. This is why I am not posting in the Crunching section. I purchased my wife a PS3 for Mothers Day. While I was setting up folding@home on it, I sure was wishing it was a rosetta app instead. In the Folding app, they have lights on a globe that shows where PS3s are in the world and how many are online. I highly doubt it is very accurate, but I still enjoyed seeing all the gamers that are running a useful app while they were not playing. Again, just wish Rosetta was a choice. Drizzt. |

Treating Cores as Processors, RAM, and headaches
(Message 49482)
Posted 7 Dec 2007 by jaxom1
Post: I keep reading about memory issues. Most, if you look closely, turn out to be RAM x CORE issues. So, you have 2 GB of RAM. Great!. You get large WUs that need a lot of RAM. Oh Wait, you have a quad core.... hmm. 2048/4= not enough ram per core for the large WU that you were just given. I think this will be straightend out, but I think the program should start thinking in "how many processors with how many cores with how much ram" terms instead of "How many processors (Yea, a core is a processor to the program) with how much ram. This is of course fixed by telling the current program to use less processors, but then, that quad core super cruncher doesn't work as hard. So, on a real server that has 4 quad core processors, the current setup would need 8 GB of RAM to just have 512 MB per core, if crunching is all it knows. I guess I will quit rambling now, as everyone already knows this, but I felt like posting it since I keep seeing so many "Why does Rosetta think I don't have enough RAM" posts. |

Post: Hasn't there been a lot of linux issues lately? I know they are with stopping, starting and changing between projects, so I figure there would be more issues on a laptop. Nothing against Linux, love it, but I think it is something to think about in THIS project. To semi-quote a MAC commercial I just watched. |

Post: To semi-quote a MAC commercial I just watched. "The fastest Vista computer tested by (fill in the blank) this year was a MAC". :-) Should work fine. BTW, I am a PC, not MAC user, but if I had the money, I think I would be part of the converted masses at home. At work, I am a Microsloth Sys Admin, so that is where I am coming from. |

Post: I think the word you may have missed is "More". I guess the WU needs 534753280 + 265246720 = 800000000 I would guess that once everything settles down, your computer will find work to do. Drizzt.

Post: I think they either do not have the resources available or the resources available do not have the technical know how to make the jump to GPU. There have been to many questions not answered to assume (Ass U Me, I know) otherwise. |

(Message 48116)
Posted 29 Oct 2007 by jaxom1
Post: It's fixed in the code currently in SVN (the code repository). Rosetta needs to do a server upgrade before you'll be able to choose the correct country. When that will happen, only the admins here know. the links give a " 403 Forbidden (CHANGESET_VIEW privileges are required to perform this operation)" Just thought I would mention it. |

Post: i hate fighting and bickering on message boards it frustrates me to no end. i have enough issues in my life, don't need it in my few minutes here and there to goof around on the internet. so, i quit my team for a while. i will be back after everyone chills. i was going to quit crunching completly for a while, but i reloaded three of my computers and pointed them at rosetta with seti as a backup. i don't think i will post for a month or so, but the machines should crunch with out me. later.. jax |
