    Go to their website and configure your project settings.
    Set it for 1 days worth of work instead of the default of .25 days worth.
    or up to 10 days worth of work.

    Both Simap and Rosetta seem to be out of work so most of my crunching is back on Aqua (with a smidgen on NQueens).

    Is there any other protein-related BOINC projects out there?

    Most of the other protein related BOINC projects are out of work, or just down in general. POEM@home still seems to be up and running though. Also, WCG might do some protein stuff but I'm not sure.

    Must've missed that one when looking through earlier

    Added it in so should get some WUs going through for at least 1 of the protein projects

    Got all prefs set for 2 days work in general and on project sites.
    Just signed up for BAM but not quite sure what it does TBH. an a lot of settings to sort out.
    Like an ol` 8086, slow but serviceable.

    I don't use BAM, so I can't help you there.

    BAM is very handy (I find) if you have lots of boxes to manage - can add projects, change resource %age and drop projects from a single box...depends how many projects and boxes you run as to it's usefulness...

    BAM is fine when your BOINC client listens to it properly
    I had it set to give Priority to something not Aqua but NQueens (well I'll give it a blast through)
    NQueens - 600
    Rosetta - 200
    AI - 200
    on BAM!

    Mine said

    Nqueens -600
    Rosetta - 800
    AI - 200
    now i changed this to 600/300/300 and it worked yet Rosetta was at 600 before so it should have changed just something to note...

    I am gutting WU's Logging in at 50 hrs each on a AMD X2 3.0 Ghz
    Why such long WU When you don't have checkpoints
    This is Not Good you can not turn off the PC or lose all your work time

    Oh Goddess of the Gigahurts:

    You can suspend the tasks, reboot and restart them without loss of data.

    A power outage is not a suspend task and reboot, as ColinT suggested.
    But ya, that sucks!

    It is a bit annoying (to put it mildly ) that there is no checkpointing - especially when there are WUs coming out that take half a day (or longer)...

    When they figure out how to read / write a q-bit correctly I think.
    It's no doubt on the list - Imagine a project with out a in unit checkpoint!
    I mean feck even Seti @ Home the old, old version had logging / checkpoints...

    It looks like Rosetta is back in action.

    Like what?
    Server Status: http://aqua.dwavesys.com/server_status.php
    From their home page: http://aqua.dwavesys.com/
    AQUA@home's latest results are available
    13-January-2009
    After lots of number crunching, we now have the results for 96-qubit problems. Please click on the "See the results of your computations" link to see how the minimum energy gap is scaling with the problem size. The verdict is that so far the running time of the adiabatic algorithm is linear with the problems size.

    I think he was referring to the check point status if they fixed it
    And No not yet members in there are still grumbling about losing 60 hrs at a pop

    Or perhaps I am wrong
