Is it possible to set up SETI to run all the time and have something else (ie. Climateprediction.net) run only if there is no work from SETI? http://boinc.mundayweb.com/seti2/stats.php?userID=941 |

no not really.... But you can get farely close by setting resource share to 1 for climateprediction and 1000 for seti. That would make climate prediction run for 1 hour every 40 days or so unless seti runs out of work... Close enough I'd say happy crunching |

It seems that a large percentage of people want to have one main project and a backup project for when there is no work from the main project. Hopefully the Boinc team will add the ability to set projects as backups. I posted in the ‘Wish List’ a couple of days ago about backup projects. Personally I wouldn’t set CPDN to run only 1 hour every 40 days as the work units take hundreds of hours to run. They may have a report deadline of about a year (which sounds a lot) but unless your machine is on 24/7 and Seti has a lot of down time you are not likely to finish the work unit. Projects with fairly small work units like Seti that can be done in less than a couple of days are more suitable as backup projects. |

Exampke p4 3.0 about 400 hrs to crunch, useing your 40 to 1 that would = 1600 days on a 3.0 cpu.....plus the hrs that the other project would be crunching, I am lousy at math so some one who is good at maath can figure it out.... |
