I have been processing my current minirosetta task for 4 or 5 days now and have had a suspicion about its checkpointing capabilities. I shut my PC down each night and restart it the next morning for BOINC processing. However the elapsed time displayed resets to 0, the time to completion continues to increase all day long (and between sessions) and the processed percentage is dramatically different from a ratio of elapsed/completion times. Am I wasting my time?

If you would like to see detail on when checkpoints are being taken, you can create or modify the cc_config.xml file. Add the tag for:
<checkpoint_debug>1</checkpoint_debug>
to the log_flags section.

The frequency of checkpoints varies with the various types of tasks.

Hi , guys ;
I sometimes have a trouble with the images ;
well , the trouble is that there are no images at all ;
and when I try to open it , Windows 7 is trying to open it ,
and trying , and trying , then telling me that the program can't be open ,
and so I have to stop the program .
There are no tasks problems , it's running , but the images are not availible .
Marc Denis

This app update includes a fix for checkpointing.

Please report issues and bugs here!

thanks,

DK

Marc, I'm not clear on what you are saying you are doing. You should open the BOINC Manager, go to the advanced view, go to the tasks tab, select a task with status of "running", and then click the show graphics button at the left. Then you should expect to see something like is shown here.

...or are you talking about the screensaver? ...or are you trying to "open it" from Windows explorer? (don't)

I think he means that hangs graphical part of the application. (like (Minirosetta_graphics_1.92)
Yesterday I watched 2 times the same bug on my computer - the calculation of the tasks goes good (it seems), but when I try to click "show graphics" graphical application does not show anything, and after some time hangs.
After killing proces "minirosetta_graphics_1.92_windows_intelx86.exe" all seems good, but if click "show graphics" again, its hangs again too.
Job Type was tedor-cs*. Unfortunately no link to a specific WU, because I have them not recorded, and in the log of tasks, they all appear to be successful.

I have four of the tedor-cs... programs running at the moment on this computer. They all are working perfectly but only three graphs can be activated. The fourth does not respond.

Ditto here. I've had several long-running WUs recently and a click on the "Show graphics" button to see how or if it's progressing at all results in no display.

I have one now: tedor-cs_-csonly-1-Alg13__18706_6784_0

Cpu_run_time_pref: 28800 = 8 hours
Elapsed time 10h 6m 20s
CPU time 9h 45m 47s
Last Checkpoint 9h 44m 41s

No graphics. But I have an LR5_cus8 job that displays just fine.

It is unusual that i get any errors,
I dont know if it was a fault at my end or not,
here are my two :-

Unfortunately, I can't locate the text file that keeps a track of what the project was doing at the time of the error. Initially, I thought that the amount of RAM was the problem, so I increased the amount from 1 GB to 1.5 GB. No go.

One of the other symptoms of a problem is the gradual filling of my swapfile with multiple instances of the Rosetta executable shown above. (Windows keeps announcing the resizing of the swapfile. Answering "OK" to each error pop-up doesn't appear to free the space allocated in RAM and the swapfile taken by the problem Rosetta executable instance.)

I have a larger Dell Inspiron B130 that has 2088316K (2 GB) of RAM, is at least three years older than the Netbook, runs only one work unit at a time, but functions smoothly without filling up the swapfile.

Am I asking too much of my Netbook by running Rosetta on it?
