I found this, thank you. Yes, I found this page. http://members.dslextreme.com/~readerforum/forum_team/boinc.html and this is very useful for me, thank you ! http://members.dslextreme.com/~readerforum/forum_team/boincfiles/BOINCManager_4.44.app.sit I installed Standard manager of SETI@home firstly, and just replace App with above, manually. |

John: Now that you have the optimized BOINC running, go back to the web site, scroll down and download the new optimized SETI where it says "BOINC SETI Worker compiles provided by Alex Kan and Rick Berry." The new SETI client will run 3 to 4 times faster than the standard SETI client. For example, my 1.33 GHz iBook G4 completes a SETI unit in about 7,800 CPU Seconds. C Join Team MacNN |

The new SETI client will run 3 to 4 times faster than the standard SETI client.C It's amazingly fast! Even on my G4 450MHz WUs are only taking 3 hours instead of the 12 they used to. (However, the project seems to have run out of WUs at the moment as it's not given me a new one today after I uploaded the latest completed one.) |

I switched to BOINC Menubar App successfully. ... just one work was lost, though. This optimized core is pretty fast !! and G4 has only 7 pipeline stages !! Our human history is about 2000 years long. Maybe, an extraterrestrial Intelligence is looking at us somewhere... ? |

I found this, thank you. Yes, it does: PowerMac G5 Dual 2.7GHz, MacOS X 10.4.2: SETI@Home: appr. 4,400sec./WU (was 12,000 seconds) E@H: appr. 14,000sec./WU (was 26,000 seconds) Measured floating point speed: 4934.05 million ops/sec Measured integer speed: 18156.87 million ops/sec |

John, I have a G4 dual 450MHz and it took 12hours to crush a WU I try at this page http://members.dslextreme.com/~readerforum/forum_team/boinc.html the Mac OS X 10.3.x CLI 4.27 Clients. Optimized compiles, no debug code Compiled with gcc 3.3 G3 320 K G4 324 K G5 324 K nothing... Mac OS X 10.3.9 - 10.4.x Superbench clients have optimized benchmarks, so that they will ask for more work. Avoid these unless your box primarily crunches 24/7, you have tons of RAM, and probably attach to only one project. GUI BOINC Manager, Menubar with 4.44 Clients preinstalled. G3 / G4 / G5 BOINC Manager 2.0 M BOINC Menubar 1.7 M BOINC Manager superbench 2.0 M BOINC Menubar superbench 1.7 M nothing... well just want to know what step you follow cause, I'm a little bit lost now... |

Hello, The amount and length of WU seem to depend on the " Connect to network about every ... days " in General preferences. My settings are; Connect to network about every 0.042 days. Use no more than 0.005 GB disk space. Write to disk at most every 20 seconds. Use no more than 40% of total virtual memory. Leave at least GB disk space free. (blank) Use no more than % of total disk space. (blank) |

My settings are; This will give you one result at a time (low connect-to); SETI doesn't look very closely at the disk space preferences, because it doesn't use very much, but these settings will cause you to get NO work on most other projects. Giving it at least a couple of GB (it won't really use it, except maybe CPDN), and reasonable amounts on free space, will allow other projects to download work. It can require several megabytes to get a new version of a science application automatically downloaded... the old one is deleted when no longer needed. |

Excuse me, I have a question. What is ' CPDN ' ? Is it some kind of acronym ...something ? I am sorry to be late. |

Hello, Now, I know what CPDN is. http://www.climateprediction.net/ |
