I just got the email about joining Rosetta and i did
downloaded the client and created an account then joined the XS team
now what ?
my system specs are in my sig, what can i do to increase my production and how can i config it to only run @ low priority
how can i config the amount of cpu usage it can use ?
First off, thanks for joining! You should use the latest windows SSE2 version from the page you linked to, its an optimised client so it gives higher benchmark scores, means more points for you and team XS. Just exit BOINC, unzip the files into your BOINC directory and then restart BOINC. R@H already runs at low priority by default, so you dont need to worry there. It uses 100% CPU by default but check the 'your preferences' button i nthe projects tab of BOINC manager for more configuration options
The work units will usually rin @low priority by default. So they slide out of the way when you start up a game etc. The link you posted are optimizations. So you 1) download the optimizations for SSE2. 2)Close downBOINC. 3) Extract the downloaded zip into your BOINC program folder C:\Program Files\BOINC\. If it asks you to overtwrite... go ahead and overwite the files! 4) Restart BOINC. 5) Go to Advanced>Run CPU benchmarks. Now this is the point where you need to have your machine running nicely... as if you doing a SUPER PI bench... The higher your benches here the highere your score afterwards. Then the work units should start off after the benches...Quote:

so should i run 2 instants of that client cause i have a dual core cpu or just one ?
Nope, the client will just execute two work units simultaneously! If you check in the tasks tab you should see it running 2 work units.
just got those with my cpu @ 2.4Ghz
5/23/2006 8:27:08 PM||Benchmark results:
5/23/2006 8:27:08 PM|| Number of CPUs: 2
5/23/2006 8:27:08 PM|| 4128 floating point MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU
5/23/2006 8:27:08 PM|| 13479 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU
5/23/2006 8:27:08 PM||Finished CPU benchmarks
so now i should ONLY run the text client and forget about it and Don't start the GUI BoincMAnager , right ?
sorry for asking too much
Agreed.. it should like this....
:welcome: to XS / Rosetta! :up: Good bench
1. ALWAYS UPDATE after running a BENCH :hehe:
2. Yes run just the text client and leave boincmgr down (unless you want to what it is doing, then close it afterward).
*cough* *cough*Quote:

Yes update after benches... (and i knew I was missing it). Oh and welcome to the team!
I just joined too, and I have a question. How do rosetta know im folding for xs? I didnt have to set a team anywhere.
under account statistics once you login at the boinc website i thinkQuote:

Hmmm Its been a while since my first install... i will install it on one of my Vm's and get back to you.!Quote:

if you choose to run the cmd line of it you will want to check here after you return some work
R@H Official link: http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/top_teams.php
If you have rosetta working go to http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/te...php?teamid=727 and then hit 'Join this team'
If you don;t these are then screenies that you will be giuded through....... First is rosetta attach screenie.....
Then after you do that... then a browser will open up to help you find a team... and you can then search to that team page and hit join!
I'd be faster... but its not easy with half a dozen VM's on a gig or ram with 2 instances of Rosetta and host Dimes! Thank god for the 2xraptors page file!Quote:

Edit: I figured it out. The thread thats about setting it up has the bad link. The link up top in this thread has it.
http://calbe.dw70.de/boincw.html you want the latest windows SSE2 version
10x :toast: COOL ,niCE !!!
I got the ones with SSE (K7 Athlon) and the result is :
from ~1800 FPU -->2549.3
from ~3050 INT -->10474.97
R@H : DENIER
i noticed that the tetx client connects to the server and download new tasks a lot while the unit it is working is not finished yet
how can i decrease or force the client not to download new units before finishing the current one

You can forbid Boinc to connect to the internet, but this way you will have to update it manually.
Activity -> Suspend network activity
To update: Projects -> Click on Rosetta -> Click update on the left
You need to update your BOINC preferences, click the 'your preferences' button in the projects tab edit you BOINC properties and decrease the 'connect to network about every' time.
ok thanks guys
i will use Fr3ak method
still not the prefect solution cause as soon as i press update and unsuspend the network connection it upload the completed units and download many more
isn't there a way to control the number of units it download and not the number of times it connect ?
Yes....set your preferences to 1 day of work...or 2 days...or 1/2 day
I set mine to 2.0 days worth of work, that way when the server is down (like for the last 2 hours) you still have work to do and you don't waste time if you have no work.
Then when it completes a WU...it only uploads that unit....not a lot of network usage....then it will dowload 1 more to replace the completed one.
EDIT: What is it you are having problems with? to much network activity?
no tooo much units with status " Ready to run "
currently i have 139 units Ready to run
Ok....well go to your preferences (left hand side of the boinc manager when you are on the projects tab) then edit your preferences....make sure you only have 2 days worth of work set.....sounds like maybe you have 5 or 10 days now?
Go here:

Then set this:
http://www.bleedinedge.com/crew/ryderocz/Files/work.JPG
i already set it to 10 days , and i will change it to 2 or 3 dyas but after i finish the current queue list
thanks for ur great help and the images
btw how do u show ur stats in the free-cd image in ur sig ?
