When we can set the targrt run time for work, will Rosetta get much more science if it is set to something like 10 hours or 1 day? More accurate in finding things like the low energy point?

If on another system that gives Rosetta less time will the project louse much if it is changed from the default 8 hours down to 6 hours?

I know that we were allowed to change these but was wondering about the benifit (or loss) by changeing to a longer or shorter time.

EDIT: But longer run times would be easier on the servers. END EDIT

For those who have been looking for optomized App's. on Rosetta the time spent would be the same. But may get a lot more out of the unit if they get more info as if longer a run time.

Just saw the default run time was canged to 2 hours. I just set mine to 4 hours, hope that the project gets more out of the extra time. If Dr. Baker could give us a little info on his page about weather he gets more from longer run times that may be appreciated by a lot of people.

One more point, wife dues not like me running this, says I should work on one looking for a cure for diabetes. I don't know but I can not think of whare DC could help on diabetes.

First the project is interested in completed models. Obviously longer run times will yield more models than short run times. But as a practical matter, the run time of the work units makes no difference. Over all the amount of time available for crunching is what determines the number of models returned per unit time. If your system produces 10 models with a 4 hour run time on a single WU, it would likely produce 20 in an 8 hour run. It makes no difference if the 20 models come from 1 or 2 WUs.

The Rosetta project potentially impacts research in a broad range of diseases. Anything that is caused or could be cured by proteins is a potential target for rosetta based science. Rosetta is about developing the modeling software necessary to do research into a broad range of diseases, it is not targeted at a specific disease. Once the modeling ability matures, targeted genetic treatments for a range of ailments may also become possible. So rosetta really represents a project where the work applies to a very broad range of disease related research.

Good answer so if a WU can produce 100 models with the operations being performed by running it longer to less often it will be sent out with a new starting point. Well not exactely but works like that. So I think I will keep the longer run times and give them more on the protiens that I work on. Shorter times will give fewer models per protine but more protines analized.

Best is getting 10 times more houst on the project and most running longer times. That would give them more of both, protines analized and number of models per protine. Now if everyone gets on a recrutement drive with there friends, family and co-workers that can be done. I don't wory about the bandwidth used on my internet connection but longer times helps those who do.
