Are they taking 8 hours?
That is the initial Estimated completion time, regardless of your set Target CPU time.

If they are taking 8 hours (for those using the project default), then it must have just been the systems that first returned them were set to 3 hours.

I do not know, but the four I have running (these are the first four I got) say they are 50% done and have about 4 hours to go.

What do you mean, Are they using a full CPU core? My machine has 16 cores of which I permit 8 of them to be used by the Boinc tasks, and each of the projects is allowed up to four cores. So, I would say yes, they are using a full core.

No Rosetta project uses more than one core. If you're only running 8 Rosettas and nothing else, then yes they're getting whole core each. Mine on a variety of computers are all running around 3 hours each. They only take longer if the CPU is overloaded with other things (I also run Folding at Home.)

All my hallucinated tasks take 3 hours (+/- 10 minutes) and my RB ones 8 hours. Not sure why your hallucinated take 8 hours. The only difference I can see is you run Linux. Maybe you got a different batch of work to the Windows users? Or somebody forgot to change the timer for Linux?

I never said they did use more than one core each work unit. AFAIK, only MilkyWay can take more than one core each. I have it set so those tasks get a total of four cores.
I try to run all 8 cores, but I allow only 4 cores for any one project.

If your task take only three hours each, you have a faster machine than mine. I thought they were set up, by default, to take about 8 hours each. So even if your machine is over twice as fast as mine, then each task should still take about 8 hours, and your machine should just do that much more work.

I have no idea what an hallucinated task is. I do not believe I run any of those, and I would have no idea how long they would take. My machine runs Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.6 (Ootpa), so it should get no Windows work. I do have a little Windows machine and it may be doing what you say. But it does not do much.

What timer would they have forgotten to set?

Ah, I misunderstood when you said "each of the projects is allowed up to four cores", I read it as tasks, not projects.

So even if your machine is over twice as fast as mine, then each task should still take about 8 hours, and your machine should just do that much more work.

I have slow and fast machines, and they all take 3 hours, they used to take 8, but the recent tasks seem to be shorter.

I have no idea what an hallucinated task is.

It's quite possible they sent different types of task to Windows and Linux machines.

What timer would they have forgotten to set?

The default (if you haven't picked your own runtime in your account settings) of how long each task takes. For some reason they like them all to take x hours no matter how fast or slow your computer is. It has always been usually 8, but sometimes there are shorter ones. Anything with hallucinated in the name seems to be 3 hours.

It is still 8 hours on my machine.

I haven't been here for while. No idea why not - just forgot I suppose.
So I've only just realised Python tasks are exhausted and I haven't seen any Rosetta 4.20 tasks for as long or longer.

About time I asked the question, which I'll look to do in the next couple of days.

First, I'm not responsible for hurrying along the Rosetta 4.20 "hallucinated" tasks today.
Tbh, It was their arrival that reminded me to send an email about Pythons etc, which I've now done.
Fwiw, all my Rosetta tasks are running 8hrs, not 3 hours like for some people. No idea what's going on there.
But I now have a response, which I think is pretty useful and I hope you do too.

There are plans for more python tasks, but we are still working on creating the new disk image for the VM.
This image will likely be larger in size since we hope to run some of the latest deep-learning based methods for protein design and validation.

Computing resources are still very much in high demand within the Baker Lab and IPD so Rosetta@home will definitely help once we can get the latest software set up and running.

Also, the standard rosetta application is currently being worked on for an update.
The IPD has hired a software developer specifically to help expedite this.

I am not sure about timelines at the moment but hopefully there should be updates to both projects/apps within the next month or so.

On Python tasks, we've already had issues on memory and disk demands and tweaked our setups as best we can and prevailed on the project to pare those demands to the bone.
Hopefully the larger VM disk image doesn't impact that further and tasks will run in the same footprint we've become accustomed to, but there's no guarantee.
What we can say is it won't get smaller, so we'll have to continue to understand that our older and smaller machines will become less able to contribute over time.

On the continuing need for our volunteer capacity, it sounds like work here will continue to be needed, though whether that's at the current rate or more or less remains to be seen.
Some will continue to think we're being strung along, but I chose not to engage with recent paranoia and I'll continue to be available if we're needed.
This is backed up by mention of hiring someone to work on the Rosetta application - for the first time and you don't do that if you're planning to mothball the project.

Reading literally, I'll hope to see something at the end of October or more likely the beginning of November, so let's see how that timeline goes.

Good to hear they are working hard on new stuff for 4.2 and Python. After watching David Baker's video at TED posted by Kotenok it seems a very worthwhile cause.

Only newer CPUs can run Python due to the AVX instruction being required. The three I have that will run it will take 64GB, 128GB, and 128GB RAM, so if it needs it I'll buy it. They currently only have 48GB, 64GB, 32GB. My antiques that will only take 8GB RAM have a CP{U incapable of Python anyway.

I'd like to hit the like button on your post. Of course, writing is the best, but writing with your precious time is even better. I wish you all the best in the future. I will guide you to my site too :) 메이저사이트

I did also mention that any tasks they want to push through before any new version of Rosetta or Python is available will be welcome, so it was pleasing to see another small batch of "hallucinated" tasks come through today.
No, I don't think my comment made the slightest difference in receiving those new tasks, but seeing almost all of them downloaded already backs up the point I made

What a lot of R4.2 work - or am I hallucinate`ing .
Nice to know that rosetta may have work ready when I need to switch the `heaters` on :-)

spam , SPAM , SPAM!!! they have been busy today , sorry , I did`nt read your post correctly .

Parrots , Long ago when I was small and not as worldly wise as I am now {aka = stupid kid} I ended up with thirty gerbil`s , wow can they breed , worse than humans .
what would 8 billion gerbils do to a planet , chew it into little piece`s and shit all over it , hmmm . . . . .

Some of the hallucinate ones said "test", so something new is happening.

I am, but I smoke things I'm not supposed to in this country.

I have 20 parrots and they are too fussy, difficult to make them breed. If they all bred properly, I could make £30,000 British / $32,500 USA per year.

Was thinking about chaning my rigs over to a new project to see, lo an behold Rosetta starts getting work again! :D

Yes! 3rd batch in about a week - this one is a little bigger than the last two, I think.
Not sure what's going on!

Way bigger.
One of (if not the) biggest in the last 2 years- certainly the biggest in the last 12 months.
Around 850,000 or so (120k in progress, 725k in the queue).

Hello, these are from me. I thought I'd double check how things looked on the forums after submitting such a massive run.

This is part of a massive sampling of small cyclic peptides generated using some pretty cool tweaks to Alphafold 2. The term hallucinated refers to protein structures generated using this method: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-04184-w

These jobs are generating energy landscapes for structurally diverse cluster centers. I'm super excited about these results and really appreciate the incredible amount of computation available from Rosetta@home. The info we get from this will help us put together a massive set of peptide backbones for binder design projects in the future.

I hope to be submitting more... Assuming I'm not breaking any rules by monopolizing this resource.

Thank you all!

-Stephen

Nope.
Many of the systems that used to process Rosetta work have been moved to other projects due to the lack of Rosetta 4.20 work here for some time now. And due to the system requirements of Python Tasks, very few systems were capable of processing them, and because of issues with the application/ some Tasks many others that could have processed them chose not to because of the manual intervention often required to sort out those issues.

The more Rosetta 4.20 work there is, then the more people that will come to process it, and the sooner it will be returned.
