Posted 11 Aug 2022 by FritzTCoyote Post: Thanks for the advice, sadly those tools have not helped. I've used the BOINC settings to limit its use for all projects to 90gb on an SSD with nearly a TB of free space. Every so often I got an alert message that Rosetta needed more storage, so I allocated more storage. And a month later its back like a crackhead, looking for just one more taste of that sweet disk space. Traffic on the forum indicates this disk consumption problem goes back at least a year. Rosetta wants to run in as many threads as possible, and each thread gets an enormous working set of data. So far the Rosetta team has not seen this as a problem. But I do. If there were a way to throttle Rosetta's consumption, such as limit the number of threads it tries to use, I would do so. I suspect that the real problem is an inherent weakness in grid computing: There is less incentive for efficiency, as the brute force of the grid will mask performance problems. |

Posted 10 Aug 2022 by FritzTCoyote Post: Getting tired of this message. Rosetta@home: Notice from server rosetta python projects needs 745.50MB more disk space. You currently have 18327.98 MB available and it needs 19073.49 MB. 8/9/2022 4:50:58 AM That was with 90gb of SSD space allocated to BOINC. No matter how much disk space I give to BOINC, Rosetta keeps asking for more. This indicates a flaw in Rosetta's use of resources. So it is Banished from my rigs. |
