My 2 biggest complaints about boinc, as much as I love it, are: 1) Not being able to see what options are currnetly being used.. ie- I run 7 projects on 3 computers so I wish I was able to open the boinc program and look at the options which are currnetly being used, because every project has different settings on their page... I just wish we could do this all under the boinc program for ease of sake. 2) I wish we could control the amount of wu's for each project.. ie - my einstein and predictor run 1 hr or less wu's so I always have a large number fo them, but seti and seti beta run huge wu's. I wish I could have 3 or 4 days of seti, but only .25 days of the others thanks jeff ttyl Jeff (Nightowl) www.lindsaywagner.net |

Third party websites are being setup as a one stop shopping center to attach and manage your accounts. The only site I've seen so far is the BoincStats BAM. I haven't checked if is fully operational yet. 2) I wish we could control the amount of wu's for each project.. ie - my einstein and predictor run 1 hr or less wu's so I always have a large number fo them, but seti and seti beta run huge wu's.

Set Seti resource 12 times larger than Einstein and Predictor, and you will get the effect you want. example Connect to network about every 4 days Resource share Seti 3.5 or 350 Einstein .25 or 25 Predictor .25 or 25 It's not that hard to figure out. The net effect is exactly what you want on the long run. Boinc V7.2.42 Win7 i5 3.33G 4GB, GTX470 |

I have my seti at 500 and the other ones at 100 but I will adjust it again. It is just frustrating to see only 3 seti wu's and 6 predictor, even if they do last the same amount of time :) thanks. ttyl Jeff (Nightowl) www.lindsaywagner.net |

It is just frustrating to see only 3 seti wu's and 6 predictor, even if they do last the same amount of time :) Once your system settles down, and the affinity of the new processes are figured out, things will change. Since Enhanced has a wide variety of lengths for the results being crunching, machines are freaking out a little. The software is best when left to it's own resources, to allow it to adjust and calculate how it needs to download. My movie https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/502242 |
