Don't do it. Let it stay in memory. Over at Ralph, they are working with Windows Application 4.93, and this one seems stable to the "not be left in memory while preempted" problem, but it hasn't been implemented here yet. You can follow the development in this thread: http://ralph.bakerlab.org/forum_thread.php?id=4 I have reported crashed Rosetta WU's due to this problem myself here. So let Rosetta WU's stay in memory while preempted. I'm sure they'll let us know when it can be changed, as Rom is working hard on the problems.

The recent Rosetta application change includes a fix for removing a WU from memory that was already successful on RALPH. Check the Technical News page here for details. https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/rah_technical_news.php If you are interested in removing a WU from memory, try giving it a shot and see how it goes. I'd pay close attention for a little while to confirm that the fix is good! (The continued application changes for RALPH are zeroing in on the 1% bug, among other fixes.)

I wasn't aware of this, as I've followed the threads about this problem both on Ralph and here. I've emptied my cache due to a hardware upgrade tomorrow or Monday, and after this I'll certainly give it a try. It is after all this, I signed in over at Ralph for. :-) [b]"I'm trying to maintain a shred of dignity in this world." - Me[/b] ID: 12854 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

But I thought they had overcome some of those problems with the checkpoints in the beginning, where the checkpoints were very scarce? Now it seems like there're checkpoints quite often.
