I have enough WUs cached to last at least 3 days, but I have just read about 10 different threads complaining about failed Uploads or Downloads.

There is a solution:

Choosing BOINC projects
Choosing a BOINC Powered Project
Catalog of BOINC Powered Projects

If you can't crunch for SETI for a few days, try adding another project to BOINC.

But it is running now...

ESOS!

Bumping this thread back to page 1.

SETI seems to be almost out of work at the moment. I run 3 projects on my fastest PC; SETI and SETI Beta only on the 2 slow ones.

I have all my projects set at 2.5 day CI and have not run out of work since using these settings.

I would like comments from those running other projects about what you like and dislike about those projects?

CPDN and Rosetta.

Rosetta is great - always work, good project news/communication etc.
CPDN because climate change is topical : )

I would not recommend CPDN as a backup project because of the time/unit, usually 1000+ hrs, as a second primary project yes.

I would say a backup project is one where you set the resource share very low and it only crunches work when the primary project has no work, or off-line.

I'm attached to many "backup" projects, due to the team I'm on with all of them, we do a Project Of The Month every month. One piece of advise that I was once told was to go to the different project sites, read about what the project does, if it interests you, attach and crunch it. I remember when I first started out, SETI was my main, and Einstein was my backup. Now I've got over 20 projects that I do. My whole thing is I just try to help out where I can, the work being done serves a purpose one way or another.

But as I suggested above, check out the different project websites, read up on them. That should help you decide what you would be interested in and want to have as a backup project.

How do you change the resource share in BOINC? I usually don't like adding a second project because then it takes up half the processing time. If I could do like 90% Seti and like 10% Einstein I think that would be ideal for what I want to do.

Your Account -> SETI@Home Preferences -> Resource share

then for Einstein (on the Einstein@Home website):

Your Account -> Einstein@Home Preferences -> Resource share


For instance, I have SETI@Home set to use 85% of my resources (not that numbers in the webpage are not necessarily percentage based), and Rosetta@Home has 15%.

Thanks for the info.

That's a good point; SETI isn't really a 'primary' project for me, it ends up getting around 40% with the other 30/30 going to Rosetta/CPDN.

I agree that as a 'backup' as you've defined (well), CPDN isn't so good.

You only need to change one of them: BOINC doesn’t care what the numbers add up to, and can determine the percentage regardless. For example, if you set your S@h resource share to 1000, the first backup project you add, left at its default 100 share, would get 100/1100 = 9.1% of your CPU time. If you then add another project you’d run S@h 1000/1200 = 83.3% of the time, with each of the other two at 100/1200 = 8.3%.

Bumping back to page 1 while SETI main is out of work.
SETI Beta still has work ATM, I just got 2 WUs there.
If you decide to join SETI Beta, please read the Beta message boards http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/beta/forum_index.php
