Is it possible to set a preference somewhere that allows you to choose between Rosetta and Rosetta Mini tasks? There are other projects that allow you to choose between apps/sub-projects, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. I've tried setting my target CPU time to 1 hour -- thinking "mini" might mean shorter run times -- but that doesn't seem to have made a difference.

No, Rosetta does not have an opt-in, opt-out preference for different applications.

And the same application is run regardless of the runtime preference selected.

Out of curiosity, what objective are you trying to achieve? Are you trying to reduce the memory used by Rosetta?

Thanks for the feedback. I figured that was the case, but wanted to be sure.

No host issues or technical considerations are involved. I'm merely working on a personal milestone related to the "mini" app.

Greetings.

I read that there are some Rosetta apps that do not require vbox.
How do I select these?
Thanks in advance,
Jay

Follow up:
AT: https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/apps.php,
It says: "Rosetta@home currently has the following applications. When you participate in Rosetta@home, tasks for one or more of these applications will be assigned to your computer. The current version of the application will be downloaded to your computer. This happens automatically; you don't have to do anything."

and there are three subheadings
- Rosetta
- Rosetta Mini
- rosetta python projects

Only rosetta python projects mentions VBOX.
Question 1: does that mean that the other two do not require VBOX?

When I try to get WU, the BOINC Event Log says:: Sun 27 Feb 2022 06:24:42 PM EST | Rosetta@home | Message from server: VirtualBox is not installed.

and
https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/server_status.php says that WU are available for both Rosetta and rosetta python projects.

I am not "automatically" getting WU that do not require VBOX.

Question 2: Is there another requirement or factor involved ( to get WU?)


Thanks in advance,
Jay

Yes.
Also, Rosetta Mini tasks were deprecated a few years ago, so there are no more of them.
There are Rosetta (non-VBox tasks) and Rosetta Python (VBox) tasks. That's now it.

Question 2: Is there another requirement or factor involved ( to get WU?)

When there are "0" Rosetta tasks unsent, there are none currently available to download.
The main reason for this is they aren't issued as frequently as they used to be, so any that do come through are snapped up very quickly.
Many fewer people have VirtualBox installed, so they get used up very slowly.

To get Rosetta tasks, you have to be very patient atm. There's nothing more you need to do

@Sid,

Thanks for the info!!!
Its a shame that web page has not been updated about Rosetta Mini.
I tried VBOX . I have a fear that those WU are spinning on a lock and wasting electricity.
In other VBOX projects, I noticed that VBOX uses internet I/O without honoring BOINC restrictions.

Thanks again,
Jay
