I've been running these guys since July. I've learned to not rely on the estimated finish time at all. They finish. . . in anywhere from a couple hours, to about 72 hours on a p-300. Once you find out how long it takes your computer to run a WU, they tend to stick around the same value.

I am succesfully processing the WU's none have errored on me.

Seems to be a lot faster on linux than windows though.

I've got my first rosetta (20/9.09) (resource share/%), sah (100/45.45), & cpdn (100/45.45) wu's running. All are playing nice together - so far. Rosetta wu is 2:08cpu time/26.67%/5:52 to completion since last night. HT 3.4GHz windoze. Using BOINC 4.45.

Sounds like an interesting project.

I'm glad that someone has posted how long the units kind of take I was worring when I signed upo and the 1st WU downloaded as the time to completion is 393hours. I looked at the deadline and thought there is no way this will complete in the time allocated even if on 24hrs a day.

Will wait for BOINC to get around to starting the unit I have a few going at the same time

Hm, it stops counting % at value 83,33%. I let it one hour and it takes 100% PCU but % are not changing. Any idea?

ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!
My Stats

Take a look at this https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/forum_thread.php?id=15 its about what you are experiencing and there is a explanation in there

Remember this is still a BETA test so there will be problems here and there

My first WU looks strange.
Yesterday evening it was at 66.6% after 5h00' and this morning it is around 73% - running time 13h00'...
Do you think I have to cancel it?

I don´t think you should compare the % completed and the timesteps. Looks like the % just jumping forward in huge steps...

Iam now at 86,67% after 21:18h. In top computers a p4 3,2Ghz takes about 29-30h for one WU another 15h. Iam waiting now some hours for finishing...

---

ok I let it run. I'll see...
Thanks

---

Im at 83.33% now after 13.5hours went to bed and just left it running.

As I understand it the WU now makes more complex calculations so this final push may take its time, so I'm keeping my other projects suspended just to see how long it will take

I finally aborted mine Sunday morning when in the last 12 hours the time to completion went from 1.5 to 2.5 hours. I like the site and the forum is responsive, but 2 days and the % just keeps going up is too much. Someone sait you may need 512 megs of RAM, that could be as I have only 496. I will try again when they have their new windows application.

---

Mine was sulking about virtual memory when I woke up this morning but all seems well will just keep it going over next 24hrs to see what happens. If nothing happens then I will dettach from the project until a new updated platform is ready for it.

I finished my first WU last night. No problems here (except for the long expected time to completion of 240 hours, so Boinc went into deadline mode), it took 14h30min.
PIV 2.26GHz - WinXP Pro - 512Mb RAM.

:-)

I've completed several WUs. At least one of them only took a few seconds, the rest took a a couple of hours, yet all of them had an error. I am not having problems with any other program that I am on. I guess that the WUs are corrupt to begin with.

Try the 4.45 or 4.72 all works fine here, I know this old error but solved in higher versions.

I'm useing the automatic download v. 4.75 .... How do I load one of the older versions?
Yours,

Hey Bob,

I think Rebirther was referring to CC4.45 or 4.72, not the Rosetta application 4.75. CC4.72 has a nice little feature that improves the estimated time to completion each time you send in a WU. I'm still on my first WU (83% in 8 hours), but the initial estimate was 350h... so after I send in my first WU, the estimate should drop to less than 200 hours (it takes several WUs to bring down the estiamtion time).

I'd tell you where to d/l it, but it seems to have been taken off the developers d/l list, so I don't know where it is anymore.... sorry!

All of the old versions are available at http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/

Be sure that you grab the right platform as well as the right version. CC4.72 seems to be running very well for me, Estimated Completion Time is 215 Hrs for a P4/1.4 (But it shows 50% complete after 4 Hrs
