I have been watching my Rosetta tasks. Even with the "12 hours requested" I am regularly getting what appear to be 8 hour tasks.

What I am not getting is the 2-3 hour tasks that seem to be the group average for the beta task on the server page.

Is there ANY chance a 2 or 3 hour task is more productive?

A lot of volunteers seem to be going with it.

I note that this host: https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/show_host_detail.php?hostid=6282139

Is running it's tasks at near a day per task. And getting some excellent production.

And seems to be getting better total production than I am on a single 128 thread Epyc CPU. (The system appears to be a 2 cpu, 128 thread system). I am wondering if changing my profile to run near 24 hour tasks will increase my total production?

Thank you

Two more Validate errors tonight, meaning 2x12hr tasks not being awarded credit.
Another unheard appeal for the daily job that cleans this up to be reinstated.

Probably caused by some disk errors I'm getting locally, but annoying nonetheless :(

Comparing with yourself, using your info at Boincstats
Pre adjustments you made here, from April 1st to May 8th, your average credit/day was 95,340
Since then it averages 116,430 - an increase of 22% per day.

So how likely is my system to approach 116K rac?

Someone else will be better placed to say how long it takes for your RAC to reflect more recent results, but my feeling is that you need to allow about a month, if not 2 months, not just 8 days.

Edit: 3x12hr tasks... <sigh>

I haven't received any Rosetta tasks in a month or so.

I'm about ready to give up on Rosetta. It's become too unstable and unreliable for me.

I just want to download tasks and let BOINC and my computer process them with little input required from me.

You guys suggested some fixes and work-arounds. But I can't implement any of those because I am a digital dolt.

There are a number of other CPU oriented projects out there that should be pretty much plug and play.

DENNIS@Home and World Community Grid are projects I am running. Both of these are biology/medicine projects.

I also run Asteriods@home, primegrid, and milkyway@home.
===edit===
Let's not forget Einstein@Home

Thanks for your reply.

This computer is already running WCG, Einstein, Milky Way and Asteroids, in addition to Rosetta. It has been crunching them for some time without problems. I try not to let it overheat by keeping it under 190 degrees F.

This computer: AuthenticAMD AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with Radeon Graphics [Family 25 Model 80 Stepping 0]
(16 processors) AMD AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics (6227MB) OpenCL: 2.0 Microsoft Windows 11
Core x64 Edition, (10.00.26100.00)

This is the fifth computer that I have used in crunching BOINC projects, starting with SETI@Home almost at its inception. I run them 24/7/365 until they expire from exhaustion.

You were correct that I was not able to find the two lines of which you speak. As i said, I am a digital dolt with little experience or patience for that sort of thing. I can do mechanical and electronic assembly -- I put this computer together from parts purchased online. But manipulating lines of software are not in my skill set. After more than 20 years, I can still only do the basics of BOINC.

But I appreciate you reaching out to assist clueless me.

Thank you.

I am assuming you were not able to add the two lines to the hosts file? Or even find it?

Let us know how some of the other projects are running for you.

Tell us about your computer, operating system and video card?

I thought I posted this days ago, but maybe I didn't send it for some reason.

I thought I posted this days ago, but maybe I didn't send it for some reason.

Well, I made up for that.
Sorry for the triple-post...

Couple of things I've noticed in the last few days:
Compute errors seem to have disappeared in the last week.
We seem to be in the middle of a clean run, which is good as queued tasks have dropped to under 5million, while we're under 70k of in-progress tasks - still hand to mouth.

My uncredited Validate Errors have dropped to only 1 across all my PCs, but I note Tom M has suffered 15, losing ~6600 credits and his average has dropped from 115k to 106k - still 11% higher than before, but much lower than it initially jumped up to.

Otherwise, steady as she goes
