Zxian Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 The task length is set in your preferences for R@H. A task can run for as short as 1 hour, or as long as 24 hours. I've currently got my top computers running for 12 hour tasks, and the less powerful ones are set to 6 hours.EDIT - If anyone with decent Photoshop skills would like to contribute, here's a thread for a signature bar for the MSFN R@H Team.

Zxian Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I was looking at the BOINCstats for our team and realized something incredible...We passed the 1,000,000 overall credit mark!!!This includes the previous SETI@Home team's score. For Rosetta@Home, we've got about 825,000 credit at the moment. We're slowly but surely working our way up in the ranks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clidx Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 ehhh 1 average credit away from beating gamehead200. c'mon my dear brand new Q6600 G0 you can do it!!anyway I just wanted to ask, is there some sort of portable version of BOINC? i know there probably isn't since it writes and reads a lot from a hdd but it would be good since i'm often in the computer rooms at my school... *ahem* doing homework...or would you not recommend it anyway even if there was one, since my usb stick would probably only live out half it's life?

yoz7120 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Just installed BOINC and joined the MSFN.ORG team.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Excellent! Tell all your friends about the project as well. I've managed to get a bunch of classmates to join the team as well - you can probably spot the ones who aren't MSFN members... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The computers that gained all of my credit were ones at my summer job. I had to uninstall BOINC before I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weEvil Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 (edited) Cool.So who is using the Rossetta data? University labs? Big pharma? Edited January 5, 2008 by brucevangeorge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woomera Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 ok im sorry if i cant sem to get this right but,how can someone help with this project and install their software and dont lose any system or network performance? cause i like to help and my home sytem is up and running 24/7...

Zxian Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 So who is using the Rossetta data? University labs? Big pharma?It's a research lab at the University of Washington.ok im sorry if i cant sem to get this right but,how can someone help with this project and install their software and dont lose any system or network performance? cause i like to help and my home sytem is up and running 24/7...Network performance loss is negligible. When I run iperf benchmarks on my home network, I'll drop from 990Mbps to about 980Mbps when running R@H on both client and server machines (the two sides of the iperf benchmark).System performance also shouldn't be an issue. The Rosetta@Home clients always run at Low priority (nice=19 on linux systems). I haven't run any specific benchmarks, but I doubt that you'd notice any slowdowns from running the software. The only catch is that you'd need to dedicate about 150-200MB of RAM per CPU core that you allow to run R@H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
submix8c Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Got a couple of "oldies" I intend to run w98 on. Will check sysrqmts to see if R@H will run on them. Would tie them into main PC using ICS; don't know if there's a bandwidth issue with ISP using such a setup. (Don't stay up more than 12 hrs/day...)Made this post to mark it for future reference (and so I won't forget...). B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zxian Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 For all those interested in helping out, but don't have the requirements for Rosetta@Home, you can contribute to other projects as well for the general MSFN.org BOINC team!Join the MSFN.org BOINC team!

Nerwin Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I use to use this, but i reinstalled my pc and never installed it back on again. idk, isnt there a way where i can turn it on while I am sleeping and while i am at school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering though... why wouldn't you let it run all the time? There are projects that don't require a lot of resources, and the work units always run at low priority, so they don't affect your overall computing. As a side note to all those still running Rosetta - have their new versions been less buggy than before? I was having several processes of Rosetta sit there doing no work until I manually killed them... I've moved over to Einstein@Home now, partially because I like the research a bit more, and their software has been much more stable than Rosetta.
