I went to this web site "http://v2.tlab404.com/" and used some of their tweaks namely. "Increase Processing Power" currently under Top 5 Tweaks. I instituted most of the tweaks all that applied. My processing times for Boinc-Seti has dropped signifigantly by 20 minutes on the unit I was processing when I did the tweaks. I will give an update on my progress in a day or two. I want to give it some time to see if it was an anomally. The two tweaks I did use were these. How to Unload Cached DLL files to free memory? How to stop "Last Access Update On NTFS? My time on a WU has dropped to 2h 25m from 3h 5m. My times on the Seti Classic had been in the 2h 45m range on my machine. Shuttle AN35N Ultra Mother Board, AMD 3200+ XP, 1 Gig ram, XP Home SP2. |

Normal processing time can vary that much between WUWUs My name is Pascal and this message has no meaning, but still has my approval... It is 10 oclock, do you know what your WUWUs are doing tonight... |

I know the changes have helped me. I recently started crunching Boinc-Seti and was disappointed that my times got longer by a wide margin under Boinc over Seti Classic. I don't know what might be the factors size of work units? Who knows? I am on these boards looking for help like everyone else. |

Are you saying that it takes longer to process a work unit, or that the estimated time to complete a work unit changes dramatically as the WU runs? |

In the SETI FAQ there is a table that shows the impact of range angle on processing time. There are potential issues with the current BOINC GUI that are not worth getting interested in for the simple reason that the cross-platform GUI will be replacing the current one anyway. So, yes it is possible and probable that the times changed. Additional issues are things like changes in the order of processing the WU (different between Classic and BOINC powered). It was my understanding that there were some minor changes to the processing code also. Long term, there are efforts underway to create optimized client binaries so that we can get more effective use of the processing capabilities we have now ... <p> For BOINC Documentaion: Click Me! |
