hey guys, im running seti and rosetta with boinc manager, but i can only run 1 at a time, although my computer should easely handle 2 at the same time, is there a way they could run each 1 project at the same time? Luuklag ID: 642161 ·  |

You can only run one project per CPU. You have a single core processor so you can only run one at a time. If you upgrade to a dual core, you'll be able to run two. If you upgrade to a quad core, then you can run four. Running more than one on a single core nets no benefits. ID: 642241 · |

> .. so running a VM with a BOINC inside ain`t getting better results? :D I've seen no data that suggest that it does. After all, they're still using the same physical processor. Q6600 - 4 Gb RAM ( only 3, 2 detected by ^32 Vista ) For optimized clients, check out http://lunatics.at. However, most of the optimizations have made it into the most recent stock app (such as SSEx support). ID: 642735 · |

If you upgrade to a quad core, then you can run four. No, it doesn't. The applications are CPU bound for the most part and do very little IO. Every context switch takes away from the processing time the application would get. Since the VM is running on the same physical hardware and the VM has to emulate some stuff, it is actually slower than running on the directly hosted OS. Most people think of responsiveness when getting a feel for how many programs can be run at once because most of the time for most of the applications the computer is waiting for the human to catch up. This is not true of BOINC processes - they spend no time waiting for the human to catch up, and a single process does use 100% of the available CPU time from a single CPU.   BOINC WIKI ID: 642739 · |
