As many are aware, we are starting to test a new application version called Rosetta Mini. This application is a complete restructuring of the rosetta application that is currently running on Rosetta@home.

Please post any bugs regarding the first alpha test versions (versions 1.+) of this application here. We'll provide more information about this app in the near future.

is this a kind of clean code of rosetta? removed all the things that have become unusefull and rewritten parts into clearer code??

Yes. exactly correct. The old code was converted from fortran to C++ resulting in fortran-like C++ code that is difficult to develop and contains a lot of duplicate code. Mini is object oriented and designed to simplify development.

Well, good luck, this is indeed a good news. Especially concerming mainainablilty and extensibility of the code.

Do you expect this transition to influence the memory footprint of large Rosetta simulations? Or will it be possible to split the large simulations into smaller ones?

Peter, you mean like it can be ported over to I.e. the ps3 in the future?

How the heck should I know this? Ported - probably yes, for sure. Let it effectively use some/all of the SPEs - would be nice. Get an SPE SDK, plenty of dedicated time, some SPE-experienced programmer(s), cook it long enough and...

Here are another 3 'mini' WU problems, all on Windows machines.
Running under Boinc version 5.10.38, after the first WU's froze computer, now seems to be ok as latest 'mini' failures did not stop computer.

>> Problems with "mini" WU's version 1.04.
Have just had 16 of them fail in a row and none of them getting past a few seconds. Missing a file or something like that, error code -1.

Two examples are WU 739359 and WU 740086.

Hope this helps.

---

There was a small batch sent out that was configured incorrectly and thus all the corresponding tasks failed with the missing file message.

---

This one also seems to be one of them. No graphics and so it is hard to tell if it is working or not. The only indication is from task manager.

G'Day dekim,
all the "score" 1.05 WU's are failing after 5 seconds with this error
I have had about 4 so far and 4 more to go which I expect will fail as well.

Example this WU

<![CDATA[

Yours is on a Linux host.

My score_13_hb_env_test62_A_1louA_3083_1_0 WU on Windows is already running 45 minutes and does not complain. 1 more to go.

And I see 2 more are waiting on my Linux host. To check for such fast death - I can do it immediately now...

...the score_13_hb_env_test62_A_1bkrA_3084_5_0 WU on Linux is running 5 minutes without crash. Hope to see it continuing this way. 1 more to go.

Another bad batch of work units went out. Please just ignore these failures.

I'm assuming the bad batch were the Rosetta Mini 1.04 workunits ? All of the ones I got failed immediately. I only got a single 1.05 workunit and it was successful.

Currently my system is working on a 1.06 workunit and so far it seems to be running ok, with just a little oddity in the task display of Boinc Manager.
I have Ralph configured for 4 hour preferred runtime and the task display shows 2:37:51 cpu time, 63.244%, 7:09:26 to completion.

See here. Looks like we found a bug :-)

Mini is object oriented and designed to simplify development.

This should make it reeeal easy to make us a nice, shiny x86_64 build, right? :)

Could you point to any of your failed results? (Hidden computers.)
