According to Rosetta I currently have a total of 1709 tasks in progress. For example host 1770544 it is not running any Rosetta tasks but yet the In progress count is 216.

This is interesting. I have 8 in progress, but Rosetta "In progress" shows 11.

It is the oldest three that are missing. That isn't a big difference, so I thought I would take a look in the BOINC log. I see the following curious entry for the oldest one (but it is the only one I see):

Maybe someone can figure it out.

I'm scared
I see 27 tasks with Status given up
They are all from December 14th

I don't see a problem with your completion rate. Everything looks pretty good.
You may just see a status problem.

Sorry but this not my Problem

Sorry Guys
these are my time, my money and my costs
So i will stop Rosetta now

I've got a similar problem - just posted somewhere else.
Having evaluated what's happened, no time was involved, no download took place and no costs were incurred.
Maybe 7 seconds of processing time were affected per download - once every few hours - but I'm not sure it was in place of anything else.
The only problem for users seems to be a mismatch between the online list of your tasks and what shows in your offline task list.
I suspect you wasted more energy clicking reply, typing 17 words and clicking Post reply.

From what I can tell these work units were cancelled but the status remained In progress.

If you check the Workunit under errors you will see WU cancelled.

For example: https://boinc.bakerlab.org/workunit.php?wuid=942284714

I don't think there is anything major to worry about just an annoyance. It's not likely you lost any compute cycles either.

The Rosetta programming team should clean this up if possible however I think they will disappear after the deadline expires.

For now I have stopped all Rosetta computing until after Dec 23rd to see if this is true. FYI, I am giving WCG cycles in the meantime.

I saw a similar group of tasks that timed out. The system is robust & performed as expected. After the tasks timed out, they were re-assigned.

My thoughts:

1. Don't worry about micro-managing Rosetta - there WILL be errors every now & again.
2. Keep an eye on the prize: understanding how proteins work, how to synthesize them to help cure Cancer, AIDS, etc.

Cheers,

Franko

Since this is the preeminent and locked-at-the-top thread and it has such a broad Subject, I was hoping to see something about the current lack of tasks... Server statuses appear to be nominal.

However I'll mention excessive memory use as an annoying problem on one of my machines with a relatively small SSD. However mostly I blame that on Microsoft for another horrendous update.

Since this is the preeminent and locked-at-the-top thread and it has such a broad Subject, I was hoping to see something about the current lack of tasks... Server statuses appear to be nominal.

I've just arrived at one of my machines to find no Rosetta tasks available at all and my backup project running.

There have been very few Rosetta 4.07 tasks recently and no Android tasks for months.

Now Mini-Rosetta 3.83 tasks have dropped to zero available and with the Christmas break almost upon us it's not looking good for the holiday period.

This is an urgent issue I hope there's time to address

Same here. I have multiple of my computers that have been crunching nonstop for weeks, and they are suddenly not getting new tasks from rosetta@home.

Actually, taking a look at this page:

https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/server_status.php

It looks like only ~8000 tasks are ready to send (vs 389000 in progress). They may be legitimately out of tasks for the moment...

Guess I’ll search for aliens until Rosetta has some work to crunch....

Almost all downloads are in error status.
Have reset project and only 1 of 9 downloads worked.
Willing to reset again if that will help. should I detach erase Boinc and start over or is there some problem with downloads?

OK after several try's its OK now.

---

The tasks that I had piling up with the In progress status are now cleared. They have gone to the error status list with the Timed out - no response status.
See here: https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/results.php?userid=486414

A sample work unit show Too many total results WU cancelled https://boinc.bakerlab.org/workunit.php?wuid=942284714
Looks like something was crossed up with these tasks on the processing side but I didn't see any loss of compute cycles.

I think the rewards are better with Rosetta so I may go back to that project after I let the WCG clear out.

No work is being sent out apparently.

same with a few boxes here. I remember back in the old days when you could
pretty much count on the project running out of work over Christmas and New Year
holidays. It's been awhile though, with the newer hardware upgrades this has not
been the case for a few years.

Happy Holidays everyone.

Hey Mod,

Ask the guys at the lab why some of us are getting no work at all!
I am almost down to 0 credits with this project because it does not send me any work.
My cache fills up with the other projects in the meantime and when Rosie's turn does come she does not send out any tasks.

What's going on?

I guess when credit reaches 0 I will give up my first ever BOINC project because no one seems to know how or be willing to fix this problem.

If you should trouble yourself to read the forum, you find out the reason.

It has something to do with last December 25, I believe.
