I have the preferences set correctly, I have it set up for a ten day cache of tasks, but it is still requiring me to stay connected, as it will only send two tasks per contact, and is limiting such to every five minutes.

I am without a traditional Internet connection, and am tethered through my cellphone, and really don't want to waste my GByte limit waiting for low bandwidth seti stuff, when some program might try to fetch a large update while online. I want to keep the tethering to seti only.

In summary.

1). I have followed the advice, and have things set up for a ten day cache.

2). The server is only sending two WUs every five minutes.

How can I get it to send more WUs per contact?

After 15 years of doing this, I finally got me a machine that can finally get me into the million+ club in quick fashion, I just want to be able to stockpile the 100 task maximum in one or a few transactions, instead of 50 transactions.

At both 5 and 0.01 both at the website and local.

I exited, and waited several minutes.

Still only getting two per checkin.

Oh, and any idea why it is picking up the copy of VirtualBox I have installed? This is NOT running in a VM.

That is only 100 MB that you allow there for storing of applications and work. I would increase that.

Because there is a BOINC Project, Test4Theory, that only works with Linux inside a VM, therefore BOINC is designed to check for VirtualBox and can work with it if you choose to attach to a project that wants it.

T4T is called vLHC these days, Charlie.

By default BOINC is configured to only download 2 files (per project) simultaneously, and the connection only happens every five minutes.

Try editing (or creating) cc_config.xml, which on my PC can be found in C:\ProgramData\BOINC



<cc_config>
<log_flags>
</log_flags>
<options>
<max_file_xfers_per_project>10</max_file_xfers_per_project>
</options>
</cc_config>


This should give you a maximum of ten per transfer session, which in your situation might be a bit too many, depending on the transfer speed via your phone - play with the number in bold to get the optimum for your situation.

Bob Smith! THANK YOU!

That worked!

While I am here, I have another question. I'm running Lunatics 0.41, and looking at the July 2013 file date, am wondering if it does AVX2 or just AVX? My own benchmarking (NASA PITEST, NOSC FLOPS.C (2.0)) shows a better than 2x increase in speed between AVX and AVX2 using icl and ifort.

Windows task manager shows the filename as AVXx.

In this moment you have 'In progress (100)' tasks - that limit you can't overcome unless you use the GPU

Yup. Bill gave me a cc_config.xml template that worked. I tweaked it, and find that setting it to 12 gets things to where the downloads finish before the next server checkin.

I'd still like to know if the KWSN Lunatics 0.41 client does AVX2 or just AVX though.

I don't think it uses AVX2 but you may ask the programmer who (I think) compiled it:
