I have a computer, which runs Rosetta by other programs. It is rebooted quite many times a day and it may crunch only ten minutes in one session. So it won't complete those largescale WUs never. How long you will offer those WUs? Should I change my computer to run another project so that it won't crunch in vain or could you make the program so that it would save more often? |

could you make the program so that it would save more often? I think the short answer is "they're workin' on it". May take some time to see changes though. Would it be possible to crunch Rosetta only at night? (you can set the time of day you'd like it to run in your general preferences, and then you have to also set the BOINC Manger to "run based on preferences" in the Commands tab.) Add this signature to your EMail: Running Microsoft's "System Idle Process" will never help cure cancer, AIDS nor Alzheimer's. But running Rosetta@home just might! https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/ |

Would it be possible to crunch Rosetta only at night? No. Because the computer isn't a silent one and there is people sleeping in the same room. Edit: Luckily there is also other WUs than those largescales. |

Osku87: we've canceled the largescale jobs and the short jobs are waiting to be sent. Please also refer to my post at this thread. Thanks. |

That's good, but I'm sorry to inform you that I'm going to decrease the priority of Rosetta in my computer and crunch Predictor instead. I have seen that those largescale WUs aren't the only problem and I don't want to waste my CPU time. With another computer I'm running VP_PRODUCTION unit just now and during 1 h 40 minutes it has saved only once. Hope other crunchers can stand the situation. Feel free to inform when you have overcome the problem. |

When you go to Predictor, remember to mention the "fortran errors", about every two weeks. They'll get tired of being pestered about it (since they're doing NOTHING to fix it) and ban you from the site. That's what happened to one well respected boinc user. |

After they did this, I dropped them. Look at the Predictor RAC on my signature. |

After they did this, I dropped them. Look at the Predictor RAC on my signature. I looked at the Rosetta RAC on your signature too. BTW, one of my peeves about the signatures--I haven't contributed to PAH, EAH, nor CPDN for several months and they still show as having RAC. Anybody know how to totally dump them (only them)? dag dag --Finding aliens is cool, but understanding the structure of proteins is useful. |

After they did this, I dropped them. Look at the Predictor RAC on my signature. I've switched Rosetta for Ralph on my resource shares. Thanks for looking, that's what two AMD64 3700's, one AMD64 2800, one P4 1.8, and one celeron 500 get you for RAC with a standard boinc client. I didn't stop rosetta because of the messed up wus, I joined Ralph so I WOULD get messed up wus. |

After they did this, I dropped them. Look at the Predictor RAC on my signature. If I understand correctly, then on BOINCstats you can do this by changing your registered email address for those projects, and only those projects. It can take up to 48 hours to take effect, but then the offending projects should drop off the stats. Perversely this may mean running one result on each depracated project. Or you could change your email address on the wanted projects, and then go look for yourself on the search function again, and edit your sig url to relfect the new you. There is more than one way the different stats sites use to combine the stats together, and I am told that this suggestion does not work for all stats sites. I should warn you, I have done the reverse move, to combine different user's stats but never tried a split. Personally I choose to keep all my stats, even those for projects I no longer support. If my suggestion does not work then I don't have any other ideas, sorry. River~~ |
