To all TeAm mates - Rosetta@Home needs you in the next two weeks!!!

This is directly from the Rosetta@Home Home Page:

A note from David Baker: (that's the project leader of Rosetta - ed. BMC)

We desperately need as much CPU power as possible for the next two weeks--there are more than 25 CASP targets due, including some that are our best shots at really high resolution models. Frustratingly, we won't be able to do anywhere near as much sampling as we had planned for these proteins as there are so many coming due near the same time, and thus can't really expect the accuracy we had hoped for. So if it is at all possible for you to increase your rosetta@home cpu time for the next two weeks please do--it will make a huge difference for our collective efforts!

So, if you have resources to increase, other projects you can postpone or haven't run Rosetta at all yet, please consider giving some power to Rosetta.

As stated above, this is only a short term issue, so nothing like the old times with SETI races vs. BBR.

Thx in advance :beer:

I just ordered a new motherboard and cpu combo to replace a cruncher that died. It should be here monday 🙂 I'll see what parts I have in the spare parts box...never know, might be able to bring a couple more on line also.
 
I'm in the process of setting up two new Pentium D 940 computers (dual 2.8GHz) at the moment. They will be sharing some resources with other projects, but should both be giving about half of their CPU time to Rosetta on top of the other computers I already have working on the project. Unfortunately, one of them will probably only be on during business hours instead of 24/7 but I'll take what I can get. 🙂
 
Wow! Until now, I thought Rosetta had more than enough CPU power, so I was doing other things.

Seeing this, I've switched one Athlon XP over 90%, and added a Pentium M. 🙂
 
Found the parts for 2 more Xp2500 crunchers in the spare parts box, and while checking the spare parts also discovered two P4 2.8HT rigs turned off in the basement. Seems mother nature knocked out the electric during a storm yesterday and the better half reset the time on the microwave so I never knew the power was out while I was at work. (no ups on the remote crunchers...only on my main unit) Betterhalf has been instructed to advise me when the power goes out....she instructed me to seek help on my addiction to my hobby :laugh:😀

Shame on her. She should have known to restart those for you. :evil: 😀

 
Iwill fire up a dually 1600 and a Barton after our current heat wave. It is 94 F today in Cleveland Ohio. Should be back up later this week.
 
OK,
I've added one more AMD 1800+ to the herd.

Blew a circuit breaker while doing it. 😱 :Q

Have now distributed four crunchers onto another circuit.............. :light: 😛

Pokey now has face off distribution panel so he can check circuit amperages.................😀

..........Welcome to the club Starrider. 😉
 
I added my ol' AXP 2000+ @ 1800 a couple days ago, but forgot to login to add myself to the TeAm. 🙁

Anyway, I'm crunching now. 🙂
 
All my machines are belong to Rosetta...
There are two that have been shut down at night, conserving electricity.
I will allow those to process 24/7 for a few more WU per day.
Right now, lets see what my total RAC is...
All my machines added together RAC is 3125.
Not bad, but maybe I can boost that a bit higher.

BTW for everybody trying to beat the heat - I put AS-5 on my P4 3.0 OC'd @ 3.46ghz and brought the temps down over 12C. This allows the machine to run in a hot room.
 
Just went through my computers list and brought 5 or 6 back online that hadn't reported any results in quite some time!

What the?? :|

Anyone else got this message? I thought Rosetta's chock full of work right now trying to beat the CASP deadline. If this keeps happening one of my rigs is going to be idle. :disgust:

All working fine here.

Did you have any WUs error out on you? That will kill your quota in no time.

If not, you can always *slowly* bump up the run time of the WUs. Default is 3 hours but you can choose from 1 to 24 per WU. Changes should be done slowly so the scheduler doesn't have a panic attack.

 
I've set Seti & Einstein to NNW so should see a little boost in a day or so. I think I might make the teams top 20 list. 🙂

Interesting, I never knew about this feature before. So, if I select say 10 hours, would I be having less but longer-running WU's while still keeping the 1-week deadline?

I think what happened was that I accidentally reset R@H after an entire week's worth of WU's got downloaded. Then I tried to replenish the queue and that's when the error occured.

Ah, well, not much choice now but to wait until this evening to see if everything's back to normal again. 🙁

Pretty much. With the default setting of 3 hours it goes like this: You have 10 WUs waiting to be run @ 3 hrs each = approx 30 of crunching with your current batch. If you were to go and change to the max 24hrs, well you now have approx 240 hrs of crunching with your current WUs.

So you can see how a major bump in your runtimes with respect to your cache can make the scheduler go nutty.

The only real thing the runtime effects (of course other than the run time) is the bandwith used.
