About RNA World (beta)

RNA World (beta) is a distributed supercomputer that uses Internet-connected computers to advance RNA-related research. You can participate by downloading and running a free program on your computer.

Important information for users with VirtualBox installed

If you have VirtualBox installed on your computer and participate in this project please note:

  • in order to get tasks your CPU needs to have virtualisation capabilities (AMD-v or VT-x)
  • those virtualisation capabilities need to be enabled in your BIOS settings or all tasks will error out
  • Some tasks are incompatible with newer VirtualBox versions:
    If you have 1.15 or earlier tasks, you must use VirtualBox 4.3.x or earlier.
    If you have 1.17 tasks, you must use VirtualBox 5.0.x or earlier.
    If you have 1.18 tasks, you may use VirtualBox 5.1.x.
  • a BOINC client of at least 7.2.33 is recommended
  • The runtime of the cmsearch VM apps are very long (>1000 hours) and deadlines are automatically extended but only visible on the website!
If you don't want to get work for the VM application please disable "cmsearch VM" in your project preferences.

RNA World (beta) is based at the Rechenkraft.net e.V. research facility located in Germany.

  • Short server outage relieved

    Due to a change of a central switch, the RNA World server was unexpectedly offline from yesterday around 4 pm until this morning around 10:30 am. The problem is now resolved, databases have been checked successfully for data integrity and everything should now run normal again.
    As usual, the problem was reported in the RNA World Forum, which is located on a different server such that information can be passed on to you even when the RNA World server is offline.

    Wegen eines kurzfristigen Austausches eines zentralen Ethernet-Switches war der RNA World Server von gestern ca. 16:00 Uhr bis heute Morgen um ca. 10:30 Offline. Das Problem wurde inzwischen behoben, die Datenbanken geprüft und alles läuft wieder normal.
    Das Problem wurde wie üblich in den RNA World Foren erörtert, die aus Sicherheitsgründen auf einem anderen Server lokalisiert sind und daher auch dann funktionieren, wenn der RNA World Server Offline ist.
