I have been running SETI@Home for many yrs now. I want to experiment with a LINUX Cluster. But from what iv read doing this will try and run 1 WU on each CPU in the cluster. Can this be done to run 1WU (Same WU) on all CPUs to speed processing up ?

Generally not. The workunits are allready split up about as much as is possible. So running one per CPU is normally the most efficient way to do it. BOINC WIKI   BOINCing since 2002/12/8 ID: 50606 · |

OK so no real point in the cluster then :( (only app i wanted to run on it) <img src=\"http://seti.mundayweb.com/stats.php?userID=417&trans=off\"><a href=\"http://www.boinc.dk/index.php?page=user_statistics&project=sah&userid=1134\"><img border=0 width=\"280\" height=\"70\" src=\"http://1134.sah.sig.boinc.dk?66\" ID: 50618 · |

I used it to crunch some seti@home classic wu. What is really interesting is the fact that a process can be migrated from the master node to a slave node. When the wu has finished, control is given back to the master node and the result will be sent by the master node. Obviously all results seem to come from one host in the end. But I never tested this with boinc_seti. ID: 50666 · |

One thing that puts a massive damper on these clusters is that since it will only show as a single host to BOINC, you will only be able to download 50 work units/day. The only way of getting around this would be to attach to multiple projects. A member of The Knights Who Say NI! For rankings, history graphs and more, check out: My BOINC stats site ID: 50678 · |
