That must been why I've had 31 errors within the last 2 days.

Just got 21 of those.

It is this series: 7a_hal_c_hal_7aa_.................

Just downloaded 4 beta 6.05 tasks one of which immediately (0.02 seconds CPU) failed with :-

Boinc 7.24.1 and Ubuntu 22.04.4

A flock of work units arrived recently that are behaving oddly, well, all but one of them. They came with a run time of 8 hours, of those which are running, one has elapsed 6 hours and remaining 6 hours odd, this figure wobbles about for a while, then drops some, then starts wobbling again and repeat. The others have remaining times of 2 to 6 days increasing . The percentage complete figure is increasing, but very slowly.
<edit>
The task is Beta 6.04 running on Windows 10 x64.

And the answer is the same as always, but since you have ignored the answer for over 4 years now, there's no point repeating it.

Run time 1 days 20 hours 40 min 36 sec
CPU time 11 hours 59 min 57 sec

Almost 2 days to do 12 hours work, all because of settings you have made & chose not to fix.

What else do you have running?

The only thing running that has any real impact is Folding@Home, this is set to its minimum activity level, but still grabs quite a lot of resources. The only other things I can see are Firefox, and the VPN service I use which has a small window that normally sits open on the desktop. I've no idea what Grant is talking about, (above), but it gives me something to look for. I don't have any weird settings by the way.

Reduce folding@home to 4 cores(if running on CPU) and Rosetta to 4 cores

Please report any issues with work units in this thread.

All recent WUs on at least 3 different hosts all got cut short with the "error while computing"... :(

Please report any issues with work units in this thread.

All recent WUs on at least 3 different hosts all got cut short with the "error while computing"... :(

"Error while computing" means that an error was detected, but gives no information about WHAT error.

There's generally at least one more line saying something about what error.

I'm not sure what is going on but about 1/4 of the work units are reporting "Error while computing" and I am no longer getting new tasks (which I assume is due to the errors). I've been running boinc for years without issue, but I'm still running some CPU stress tests/diagnostics to see if it is a hardware thing. Anway:

My CPU is a Ryzen 7 3700X on a Gigabye X570 UD mobo with 32 GB of ram and a Radeon RX 570 video card. I'm running Windows 10. The only thing that has changed recently is a UEFI update.

Here is the diagnostic information from one of them (they all have the same error code and similar Stderr output):

I'm not sure what is going on but about 1/4 of the work units are reporting "Error while computing" and I am no longer getting new tasks (which I assume is due to the errors).

I doubt that there is anything wrong with your system. The latest big batch of work units has run out.

You can see this from the Server Status section on the Rosetta home page: https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/, which currently shows "Total queued jobs" of 0. It can also be seen from the Project status page: https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/server_status.php, which currently shows "Tasks ready to send" of 0.

You may, of course, pick up the odd resend, or some Robetta tasks, but there will be no steady flow of tasks until another big batch of work units is released.

We may get another batch if/when the work units you identified with the "residue 1 does not have a LOWER_CONNECT" error are corrected and reissued.

When trying to get an idea of how much work is available, I tend to look at the "Total queued jobs" figure on the Rosetta home page because that shows all the work units available to be crunched, which may be in the millions. Whereas the "Tasks ready to send" figure on the Project status page shows just the tasks ready to be distributed, which is usually no more than 5,000.

Extracting in slot directory: minirosetta_database.zip
Using database: database

looks like each task tried to extract database to E:/ProgramData/BOINC/projects/boinc.bakerlab.org_rosetta/database_0f7f01a1b07 all at once, gave up, and extracted to slot directory.

It's a strange thing, but every time tasks run out recently, another ~million seem to be added to the queue to keep us going.

I realise many have given up a bit on expecting reliability from Rosetta, but it almost seems like someone is paying a little attention on the quiet.

Or maybe I'm just wishing that was the case.

Either way, it's appreciated.
And there are still enough people around to blast through and return them quickly too.
(Comparatively) good times...

When i run graphics app it closes immediately.
I see this in stderrgfx.txt

+1
But, after months and hundreds of thousands of wus, maybe it's the time to let the app out from beta stage

Tasks finish in 3 hours for me.

I have set "Target CPU run time" to "not selected"

Big problems with Rosetta on Linux Mint 20 and 21. Had to remove the project from the client on both of my machines. It would freeze the computers to where it had to be rebooted, only to lock up again, soon as it started on Rosetta.
I narrowed it down to the Rosetta project after replacing hard drive, mother board and ram. they run fine on the other projects. This has been going on for a while. Runs fine on my Windows computers.

Any ideas?

Maybe you can reduce number of cpus allocated from 100% to 75%?

Tasks finish in 3 hours for me.

I have set "Target CPU run time" to "not selected"

Has something changed then? I noticed this elsewhere too.

Doesn't apply to me - since tasks have been harder to come by I've changed my default to 12hrs.
Maybe it's time to be explicit on runtime and change it to 8hrs, rather than let it run at a dodgy default value.

Right now they are 32 core with 16gb of RAM. Which should be enough for crunching.
