Since it appears that we're going to run out of WU's sometime soon, I added the World Community Project. I have a duo processor and one processor is running World and the other is running SETI. Is there a way I can regulate that or is that just the way it is. Many thanks in advance. I did look at preferences in SETI but didn't see anything that seemed to make sense. Thanks again. |

What is the World Community project? |

Here's the link to the WCG project page, Jeff World Community Grid. Basically, it has several projects running that are health oriented (cancer, aids) |

If you are running the BOINC version of WCG, then BOINC schedular will run whatever it feels like. You may get the 2 separate projects running, or both processors may run the same procject. No control over it. The closest you can come to regualating it, is playing with shares; but there is no guarentee on which projects will run. SL |

I was afraid that was going to be the answer. Oh well. |

Maybe you can. If you run Windows XP or better!!!! Try Ctrl-alt-del to bring up the Windows Task Mngr. Under processes find the client you want to change. Right click on the process and a menu should open up which I believe on a multi CPU computer will let you set affinity to your processors. I do not have a multi processor machine so have to go from memory of seeing someone else do it. My understanding is that you won't be able to get this to "stick". When the process ends so does the setting for affinity! Let us know. Later. John |

I had tried that, and no, it doesn't "stick", at least on Vista. |

Wow, I did my first crunch for World and very disappointing results, 5.6 hrs (19,800 seconds) for 77.4 points or 255.8 secs per cobblestone and I get approx 1 cobblestone per 85 seconds on the chick app here. Any other projects that have modified apps besides the chicken one here? |

AFAIK only Seti is open source and therefore only project optimised. The excption was Einstein a year or so ago, when Akos reverse engineered it at assembler level. But that phase was over long time ago. Akos is now an official developer for Einstein, but has not had any hand in present S5R2 phase. |

AFAIK only Seti is open source and therefore only project optimised. Agreed that SAH is the only project I know of that has the science app open source, but I don't know if it's fair to say that no other project beside EAH is optimized. We just don't know for sure one way or another. IIRC, Akos has looked over the new app and mentioned it was pretty rude and crude at this point. I just saw a post from Bernd saying he was still grappling with a particularly nasty bug in the Linux version he hasn't been able to track down yet, and this was delaying release of other nix oriented apps and moving into the optimization phase.

It is that project that take almost for ever to finish even one WU. Climate Prediction (CPND) is the project where units take a 1000hrs or more. Present Einsteins are taking btween 10hrs (250cr) and 18hrs (445 cr) on C2D 6600 @ 2.7 Ghz. And first unit on PentM 2.13 Ghz estimate is 25 hrs. Andy |
