Well-Known Member
Starting this week, we will begin testing RoseTTAFold All-Atom, our state-of-the-art application designed to predict the structures of proteins in complex with ligands such as DNA and other biological molecules. It also models post-translational modifications. We are initially targeting only Windows machines with or without Nvidia GPUs for this test. Please report any issues in the discussion thread here: https://ralph.bakerlab.org/forum_thread.php?id=928

I've mostly shut down for the summer, but I'm leaving one client running to try and get some work here. Looks like they have created some tasks but they failed. I haven't gotten any yet.

I was doing the same thing but decided to crunch Rosetta@Home on Linux MX instead. The server status has not changed in at least five days:

My computer had 75 tasks and all failed with error code:

That was reported on the last batch they issued, disappointing to see they have the same problem. Last time I looked they still hadn't set up anything for GPU preferences so they have some work to do. We're getting into summer so I doubt things will move very quickly.

I have ten tasks in progress for over 22 minutes. To stop failures after a STDERR report that said I did not have enough page files space, I quit hyperthreading and later investigated the System Managed page file space which was at 42235 MB. I set it to a fixed 84470 MB. However, the system is using almost 60% of the 32 MB RAM, and I may not have enough RAM to run hyperthreading on my ten core CPU.

Are they actually using any GPU?
Yes. One user, kotenok2000, completed one but it failed on upload with error code "240 (stat() failed)". I found the following with a Brave AI search:
Error_code -240 (stat() failed) /error_code
The error code -240 (stat() failed) typically indicates that the system was unable to access or retrieve information about a file or directory. This can occur due to various reasons such as:

File or directory not found: The file or directory specified does not exist or is inaccessible.
Permission issues: The system does not have the necessary permissions to access the file or directory.
File system errors: There may be issues with the file system, such as a corrupted file system or a disk error.
To resolve this issue, you can try the following:

Check the file or directory path: Verify that the file or directory exists and is accessible.
Check permissions: Ensure that the system has the necessary permissions to access the file or directory.
Run a disk check: Run a disk check to identify and fix any file system errors.
It is also important to note that this error code may also occur in other contexts, such as in the context of a database or a network connection. In these cases, the solution may be different and may require specific troubleshooting steps.

AI-generated answer. Please verify critical facts.

Based on the bug reporting these aren't really GPU tasks, they are multithreaded CPU tasks and they aren't configured correctly. They will never complete on the one client I'm trying to run them on.

I'm also still getting the not enough disk space message, there should be more than enough room so I'm not sure if it's the app or something else. Everything about this setup is old so it's probably not worth trying to fix.

I'm looking for a cc_config.xml or app_config.xml to limit the number of simultaneous tasks to 2 on my 10 core CPU. I am currently running only two cores by an advanced Boot setting in msconfig.

Edit: I am limiting CPU usage in Computing Preferences at Ralph.

All tasks in queue run even when suspended or waiting to run! I aborted all and quit Ralph. It isn't ready for testing.

Here is how I run only one Ralph task at a time. Paste in Notepad, save as app_config.xml (all files) in Program Data>BOINC>projects>ralph.bakerlab.org.
<app_config>
<app>
<name>rfaa</name>
<max_concurrent>1</max_concurrent>
</app>
</app_config>
