Rosetta@Home - 12/11: Stats - We passed 1,000,000 points!

I had no problems running 2 WUs on my P4 2.8 GHz HT comp. Tell it to use 2 CPUs, and watch it crunch 2 WUs. I think that task manager does not show the correct number of processes running. Look at the CPU-usage on the bottom line in the task manager (CPU-usage): if it says 100% then all is well ... if not, let it sit for a day and check again. I had the situation once that the task manager showed one instance of Rosetta and one instance of seti@home running at the same time. 🙂
 
Thanks for the stats 🙂

Welcome everyone to the Rosetta team!

Anyone else still having issues downloading WU's? I will have to check my other machines in the morning, perhaps it is just the one I am not right now.
 
@ Malak:

I've been running R@H on a P4 2,8 HT for about 3 months now. I do see 2 instances of "rosetta_4.80_windows ..." in my processes tba and it uses 100% in the performance tab. That said, I did some testing with one instance and with two instances. Overall, HT and R@H will give you something like 10% to 15% more output than just one instance. But it looks to be more effective if you run two different projects at once, like one instance of R@H and one of Einstein@Home for example. I know of no way to set affinity to always have one instance each running, as BOINC handles this itself. I just observed this but have no way to test it.

Is there a difference? 😉 Maximal output with minimal disturbance (such as food, :beer: sleep, hugging and "the three-letter-activity") 🙂 😉 😀

so, uh.... you were just handing me that rolled up newspaper?



I like Crazee's idea of giving Boinc Synergy a Christmas present 😛 :gift: 😛

@mrwizer: If you just let it keep running, it will get you filled up. I did a new install last night and it started out with the 'no work from project' messages. But every once in a while it slipped in 10 WUs or so. It only was dry for about the first 1/2 hour. BUT if you try to fill it up with 'update' and stop BOINC in between tries, it would be very hard to hit that magic moment. After running through the night, the messages 'no work from project' are still all over the boinc manager, BUT there are also 30 WUs or so crunching away.

Yup....2 of my boxes refilled their queues, but my main box still reports 'no work from project' 😕

Well mine is showing 53% usage, which is why I'm concerned. The projects get finished, I just don't know how it's handling the virtual procs. I'm going to check settings and see what I can do.

what process(es) is(are) using the other 47% (according to the task manager process tab)?

System idle process. I'm going to research this a bit and see if anyone else has had a similar issue and has a resolution for it.

EDIT: I also just noticed that the 5 second update in BOINC shows CPU time only going up for one of the projects running. I'm wondering if a project simply got stuck, because it's always 80% when I check it. I'm going to abort it and see what happens.

EDIT2: Yep, aborted it, got a little credit, and 2 are running fine now. All fixed!
