Hello, i saw this on LHC and they are able to multiple cpus on one workunit.
As i am always searching for something new i WOULD try this on multibeem setiathome_V8 cpu workunits.

But will i fail ? I asking because i want to let crunch ready my cache then i will edit the app_config.xml file to be sure, it´s taking about hours, but
if i got lucky there is someone who tried this before and could tell.

Greetings

You would need to re-write the seti@home application (and re-compile it, too) to work in a multi-threaded environment. Once you've done that, it's trivial to run it under BOINC - but I doubt you'd find it any more productive than running multiple copies of the existing single-threaded apps.

With current given options it´s not possible, i´ll tried all to me known
options to change anything. But there´s no gain.
