Message 11836 - Posted: 24 Jul 2004, 7:30:23 UTC

Would it not be possible for someone to come up with a bit of software that monitors Boinc Seti and if it has no WU to process loads up Seti classic. When Boinc downloads a unit then it closes classic down.
Alternatively just run both of them, they do work together several of my machines are doing so, it is not as fast but seems to go when the machines are quiet.

possible? Probably. Worth it? Maybe. But you are missing one big thing... if this happened, then what would people complain and whine about? :)

On usenet ~misfit~ wrote this:

Same here Jason, just a couple per machine overnight (NZ time). I'm glad I
left them on. Nowhere near full cache's though, unless I get more I'll be
out again on one machine by this afternoon and another by tomorrow.

I'd re-installed SETIDriver and SETSpy along with the 3.03 CLI client in the
meantime.

I'm pleased to report that, with SETIDriver set to 'idle', SETI Classic does
in fact hand off all CPU cycles to BOINC with Win XP, so I can leave
Classic running as an auto-backup system for times that BOINC is starved.

Unfortuneately it doesn't seem to work quite the same with 98SE, the machine
I have both on is still ticking over Classic as well as BOINC. I'm not sure
how much of the CPU is going to each client, it's a slow(ish) machine anyway
and I don't have enough data to say empirically. At a guess? 75% BOINC 25%
Classic. I'll update if anyone's interested when it's finished a Classic WU
with BOINC running (if I continue to get enough BOINC units), I should be
able to work it out more accurately then.

Anyway, Woooohooooo!!!!!!!!!
