Looks like the new kid on the block has come out to play. :)

So there is another candidate for server outages on the big scale ;-)

And with 11Mb WU's, I won't be running it with my dialup connection.

The WUs are NOT 11MB. The WU's are small - some are so small they are not even a file, just a bit of RPC data.

The 11MB file is the data file that lasts about a month.


Be lucky

A workunit in BOINC is composed of configuration parameters and a set of files.

In SETI@home for the input data file this is a 1 : 1 relation, 1 workunit has 1 input file. So every workunit to crunch means to download a input data file.

Einstein@home use the same input data file for several workunits and when a client request new work, the scheduler try to give workunits to the client, for input data files already send to this client, so that there is no need to download this file again. This means sometimes getting a workunit with downloading a input data file (for the first time) and sometimes only getting some parameters.

I believe that this large input data files are heavy stuff for modem users. I personal use a ISDN 64K line, what is not much better. With this handling of WUs and files seems to work for me, but maybe not for everyone and every situation. The Einstein@home developers would like to have smaller WUs, but didn't find a usefullly way, so they create this multiple file handling.

And if it is impossible to crunch for Einstein@home then there is a great project called SETI@home, that will be happy and (hopefully) able to send you some of this great small 360k WUs. ;)

Hi

It seems that the graphics didn´t work with Einstein.

Has anyone else trying this.

This looks interesting. I wonder how likely that the program will have success. I am frustrated with ET search. ET no phone.

Hi

Thanks for reply Jeff.
But i think you are running client version 4.19 what is the official one.
I´m running 4.23 devlopement release.
With 4.22 graphics didn´t work, with 4.23 it should work but couldn´t test it yet because of 10 % resource share.
Seti runs at 91 %.

How this?
I run 4.22, and graphic is just fine.
Extra window as well as ScreenSaver.

btw: with the newer clients you can just suspend all other projects but Einstein for this test. Afterwards back to normal ;-)

And, never forget: 4.2x and 4.6x is dev-stuff, potential lethal, may kill your joystick!
