The Rosetta code running within the agent which works on the folded proteins currently allocates enough memory to handle any kind of protein. In practice, not all of ihis allocated memory is typically used for the processing of a given protein. So, this makes it allocate extra virtual memory which gets paged out and then is not used. In your case, it needed less than 100 megabytes of physical memory. We are aware of this and will be engineering modifications to the program to more intelligently and conservatively allocate memory, however, this is not as simple as one might like. When we have this change engineered and thoroughly tested, we willl have the server send out the updated program for further use in this project. You will not have to do anything since this will be fully automatic. So in the meantime, it the program will use some of your swap file space. Please bear with us until we update this.

heh heh, I changed my username, now my reply to my original message doesn't make much sense. Oh well.

No kidding, this is too much. I had to send another note to my friends telling them to wait on this as it eats RAM like a runaway virus.
