There is another invalid WU like this that hit the 512 error limit and another that completed (because I manually forced one Rosetta into RAM by suspending Rosetta, d/ling WCG Zika, starting them, unsuspending Rosetta, then suspending individual Zika till a single Rosetta was running). Why doesn't Rosetta Android WU have a suspension control?!?!

BOINC attempted to run 4x of these work units, with 360-412MB working sets, at once in a device with 642MB RAM available to BOINC.

Something is wrong here....

I could have easily bypassed this bug if Rosetta ARM WU came with a manual suspension control.
Suspending 3 of the 4 WU's and let them complete 1 at a time while another project got the other 3 cores.

Is this the fault of BOINC ARM or is Rosetta WU not properly reporting its needed RAM to BOINC so that BOINC can properly manage the WU count? Or is it because BOINC isn't able to properly suspend Rosetta WU's (tied to the lack of manual suspend control)?

This tablet put in 70,000 hours on Universe BH SPin2 over the last 2 years.
I'd love to have given some of that time to Rosetta.

The suspension (pause icon) control is showing on this final WU.
The only control showing when Rosetta for Android was attempting 4 at once was to abort (stop icon).

Can you configure R@h to use only 1 cpu for your device and see if that helps?

Update 2: So when BOINC is running under incredibly low RAM circumstances; it's GUI misreports many things.

It showed the WU's were running (they were not), then it showed they were paused (they were running sporadically according to Kernel Auditor) and then that it was suspended till the battery reached 30% (current battery level 96%).

The lack of pause icon/control menu was just a misreporting aberration.

I'm sure that if I create an app_config.xml with <project_max_concurrent>1</..> it will help; just BOINC, with reporting from the Rosetta WU, should have pause WU's based on available RAM and that didn't happen.

Set project_max_concurrent to 2.

Just wanted to point out that it requires a rooted tablet/phone to access the (root)/data/data/edu.berkeley.boinc/client/projects/boinc.bakerlab.org_rosetta folder.

Decent file manager, that allows creation of a new file from scratch then has a built in text editor that didn't add any hidden characters, is alc' s "File Manager'.
Think you probably need to set permissions to rw-r-r before use.

Then reboot or force stop the app with settings_>apps (unless I missed the menu command to reread config files; looked for it).
Event Log should say Rosetta@home found app_config.
If errors are found in the app_config then you'll get red text after that statement.


All that work... no Android WU's :(
