Setting up Rosetta@home

[Charles Wirth]

It is asking me for project url in the installer. what goes here?

So what does rosetta prefer?
High clocked A64?
P4 with HT?

is the output of dualcore/dual processor 2x a single core in rosetta/?

Rosetta definitely prefers AMD over Intel. My Opty 175 is pounding 'em out that's for sure. Not sure if it is exactly two times though. There's overhead... AMD DC is definitely king of the hill though, in Rosetta.

DX's are pretty strong, too. But not like the DCs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm glad to see more XS folks are starting to run Rosetta. I think its' a great project. I just broke through into the top 100 today, am sitting at 96 or so. I think I'll be outputting at least 6,000/day, maybe 6500.

Was talking to Victor and he said how sweet it would be if XS and XPC could merge into one, in Rosetta. I agree, XPC is a power, for sure. We are getting ready to pass into 3rd overall. But FDC and DPC are in another league. XS will be a power, but I'm not sure it will get beyond the tier XPC is in. Together ( "Allied Xtreme", "XX", "Xtreme²" ? ) we'd approach the level those two are at. Probably a pipe dream.

So, anyway, get it going on and come on up. Lots of teams to pass yet! Let XS's power be known!

Onward and Upward

Dammit... I thought so. My DX and Sonoma 2Ghz are producing but we are getting our butts handed to us by AMD's....

BTW ser, Teams cannot merge the last time I checked... i'd like to have it. But I do not think it's possible... I know users cannot merge....(well they can but their previus work/points are not transferred along with them

ok, I dl'ed the client, have the optimized stuff installed, the boinc manager is running, but how the crap do I get work to do? I'm tired and a bit hung over, and im just really confused by Rosetta right now. Wayyy different than D2OL.

Oh and happy new year to everyone!!!

[Entity_Razer]

you added the account etc to your Boinc?

Then if the preferences are set ok go to project, click the rosetta project, and then on Update, it connects to the server then and should download work.

[trakslacker]

yep. figured it all out just before I checked back here. It appears to be up a running, although its gonna take a while to adjust from D2OL.

Oh btw, is there a rough average of how long each unit should take to crunch for a given speed processor?

[odb]

got it installed, got the sse2 files in, set my prefs, joined the team, its waiting to grab work. anything else im missing?

[bullet2urbrain]

nope looks good to me... i wish someone would use it without the SSE2 files to give us a rough comparison....

but looks good... did you adjust the disk space and all the other stuff...

If someone could link to or write up a tutorial on exactly what performance effect the different rosetta options have, that would be awesome.

IMPORTANT - Please note:
Let BOINC download all files, first, before shutting it off to install the optimized clients.

Let it say "finished downloading" before shutting it off to change the client.
Actually it will "say" this >> Rescheduling CPU: files downloaded, in the Messages tab/(section).

I don't think I did that? IS that bad? What settings should I set and how do I join XS team?

Joined team, now how do I set it to buffer?

Well, it is supposed to be. Plum told me when I first set it up to make sure I did that. So I've always done it that way.

Buffer? Answers above, on that one.

Just search in the stdoutdae.txt file for this.

D2OL Xtreme Watch Dog should still work to manage this app, just add the lines

rosetta_4.81_windows_intelx86=IDLE
Boincmgr=IDLE

to the settings file under processes

[L0$t Pr0PhEt]

What is Recent average credit?
It seems that mine is quite low compared to others.

[afireinside]

How does WU to credit work? I have 12 WU's done and 293 credit already. And what's the difference between RAC and daily average?

[mad mikee]

Just like D2OL

D2OL Xtreme Watch Dog should still work to manage this app, just add the lines

rosetta_4.81_windows_intelx86=IDLE
Boincmgr=IDLE

to the settings file under processes

I'm onboard now....

Gotta figure out which client works best with which CPU.

[Rodzilla]

Wow... this is making my head spin!

I would like to give serlv and shmaa a BIG BIG BIG thanks for all the replies to questions! This is exactly what we need to get this project off the ground!

Time for a new team web page! (Gotta learn this stuff for myself first before I can help others)

won't be out putting much

(using p4 that i work and play on)

so..is there are anyway to limit the number of protein it folds at once

atm it does 2 at a time


can i make it do just 1 at a time ...more chance to finish one...and make me feel happier (hate waiting :P)

and i'm not allowed to keep PC on while i sleep so
any help appreciated here

and ..oh joy...takes 10 minutes to do 30% of one small project heh

could take a while to make any impact here :P

[afireinside]

Go to your global options on account page and set it to use 1 thread if theres multi CPUs. It's doing 2 because you have HT.

[DeltZ]

cheers

uploaded my first result

+ 11 credits woo :P
