Please quit wasting my CPU time with bad computations that produce no positive results and no credit.

There were some problems on Saturday which were immediately resolved. You haven't shown your computers (Rosetta preferences), so I'm not able to see if you're back to normal now.

Saturday's issues were related to the application version 4.97 (you can see the version that a given WU will use in the Work tab of BOINC Manager). Info on those problems is here. Your WUs should now be running under application version 4.98. If you have any 4.97 WUs left, and are seeing failures on them, you can just abort them, and the client will pull down new WUs, and v4.98 of R@H, and should be back to running fine.

Not being able to see your computers, I can't guess at your preference for WU length. If you've got a 2hr WU preference, you may notice that these v4.98 WUs can take longer than 2hrs to reach the end of model 1. So, don't panic if you see them run for 4 hrs or so. I think that progress bar will show 1.xx% during the whole time it is on model 1, so when it completes model 1, it would jump to 100% and report the WU results. A WU has to complete a full model in order to produce any results to report back, so running one complete model is the minimum WU runtime, and with longer proteins (which they are now studying), it can take longer to reach the end of model 1 than you might be used to.

Keep crunchin' Rosetta!

There really are no CPU cycles on the Rosetta project that do not produce positive results. There is a lot of misunderstanding about the project and how failed WUs are used. Please see this post.
