Most of you knock-off 1,000,000 credits in a day or hours snd only try to achieve more/hr as you have resources unavailble to the majority; simple homeowners

I find it BS. that Seti@home is allowing me to zero-in on 1,000,000 by running all the < 1 hr that they have last availble while there are many Astropulses ready to run, with due dates in May

The fact that the most recent Seti tasks downloaded, that process fastest, are choosen to be processed first is not a Seti decision. It is a decision made by the BOINC client, which manages all tasks no matter which project(s) you are attached to.

The one part that Seti decided, that does have some part in the decision making process, is that the Astropulse tasks, because they take so long, are only available to host computers that can complete them within the 28 day deadline.

But I do agree that the order in which tasks are processed is rather illogical.

I don't have resources that are excessive. I have 2 computers, but they do run 24/7. That is my choice. One is mine and the other my kids use.

I would like more astropulse, but I just don't get that many. I have had 2 on my kids machine, which was built in June/July last year, and none on mine, which was built at the same time, even though my preferences have allowed them.

As Winterknight said, Boinc manages the flow of work, and sometimes seems to make irrational decisions on how to process it. Some people are lucky enough to be able to afford multiple computers, and those even luckier are able to use multiple computers at work, so there the limit is on how many computers they are allowed to attach.

There are over 53,000 employees in my company worldwide, and none of us are allowed to use any of the work computers for things like this. So, I make the contribution I can. I do like to see myself progressing more than the next Mr. Average Guy, but I won't increase the costs that I have already just to do so. I built the 2nd computer because I was fed up of my kids taking over mine, and I don't need any more than what I've got.

I'm not an 'out an out' credit hound as you seem to imply that some of us are, and I live in rented accomodation, so I can't even come under the 'simple homeowners' banner either.

If you allow Boinc to manage your work, it will process it in the best way it sees fit, and will try to fit in with the way you use your computer. It isn't perfect, but it allows you to be a part of multiple projects, whereas if they were all seperate and discrete projects, you would have to be much more careful in what you choose to be a part of, and manage all the time involved yourself.

i am processing the original message.
no smiley faces i fear, just feces i think.

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

He posts now and then to stir the pot. I see he has added a quad core and a gpu since his last visit.

I will say that I have been getting astropulse for the last week on my i7. Do one get one. And lunatics new version is doing them in 25 hours on one core.

Since when, doctor, do you have the right to tell me how many computers I am allowed to run S@H on?

There is no rule, limit or law prohibiting me, you or anyone else from running 5, 10, 50 computers on S@H. SETI@home was intended to be run using only spare cycles, but look at how much extra science is being crunched on S@H and other projects such as MW by these extra computers which were built specifically to run BOINC!

Simply a case of credit envy?

Something that you wrote 320+ days ago:

I have a problem with anyone who claims to have more than a few computers at home. Most homes have 200 or 220 AMP services. If use that service only for SETI@home functions and have more than 10 computers running, then you have no lights, refrigeration, heating and therefore have no life sustaining comforts. Then you should be called an Seti@work user Anyone who has been acknoledged "Top Performer for the day" with 5,000,000 units of work must also fall into that catergory, you are abusing the spirit of at home. Unless you are the rightfull owner of the company whose assetts you are claiming as yours, you are a thief, just that simple.

Seti@home was started for the use of personal home computers not doing anything most of the time.

There should be a distinction within SETI@home and BOZO users running up impossible scores that are not obviously within the spirit of at home users.

There is one user claiming 137 @home computers.

Maybe 'Dr. Lipscombe PHD' should find himself another project to go and annoy. If we are such 'bad credit hounds', I would have thought that he wouldn't want to be associated with us anyway.

For such an apparently educated man, he needs to turn his damn spellchecker on, as he can't flaming well spell correctly himself!

I'm glad my compatriots on here find Dr. Lipscombe's comments as irritating as I do.

Thanks to all of you who bothered to let him know about his unpopular, unhelpful views.

Guilty conscience reporting in here. I find his posts unintentional humour - and wildly funny.

Doesn't anyone else get as good a chuckle out of his "SetiMega-Corpwork@work.edu" rant as I do?! My goodness I have a smile on my face for all that implies coming from within the good "Dr."

Much appreciated Doc - these make my day. But I do feel guilty about it.

When he last posted, his No 2 post. I was ticked off also. But as was pointed out then hes a troll. And we all know dont feed a troll he dies. Actually i did find this last post of his funny . I wonder if he sold his Mini Copper to buy his quad core with a cuda card?:)

Heck from his original Post... I rarely get Astropulse WU's the credits are about equal compared to the MB WU's so I don't see any great advantage. In fact I think I now need to setup my 2 GPU crunchers on a different setting than my others. I dont like running AP on them because I use the Lunatics hybrid app and it iterferes with my other projects that I run on the GPU

It was noticed in very early testing of the AP tasks on the Beta site that AP does not like AMD cpu's.

If you compared cpu's which on all other benchmarks were about equal the Intels were about twice as fast as the AMDs.

The optimisation has helped but still has a long way to go.

On average on my Intels cpu's I get ~40cr/hr for MB tasks and ~64cr/hr for AP, that's worth trying to get as many AP's as possible.

Amen. Same reason I enjoy the occasional PC vs. MAC threads. Watching people drop a bomb "PC's rool your face!" and then seeing other people scramble to defend their computer's feelings. :)

I get 45-50Cr/Hr on my amd 940. OCed to 3.4 GHz had it at 3.5 but it was just to unstable.

For the latest round of Lunatics optimization I was very careful to consider the difference between how AMD organizes caching versus the considerably different approach Intel uses. I don't have a good measurement of how much that helped, but would appreciate any feedback from those running the ap_5.05r409_SSE.exe build on AMD systems.

I'll install it and give it a go

Only a remark about the Multi computer (Home)Owner*, when I look at the number of host's, I should have, I must be wealthy :-), my only QX9650** is mentioned 4 times, at least .. .. .., same for my Q6600's, 2 I have and one LT (HP Pavilion 8000nl series)T2400 CPU ; 7400GT nVidia Graphics.

On some of the stat's site's, I even have 12, 13 host's . . .

So much for 'accuracy', but who cares . . .

*I rent, ATM, trying to sell a house for 20 month's, to no availabillity, yet. House prices are massivily collapsing so is the economy, here......
Bad times, worse times, what's to come . . .

This CPU did cost €998, but I know a retailer, so he bought 5 and 1 was for me, later a HD5770 GPU (Juniper) was added, payed €200 for both..., but I should 'test' this GPU on a Project with can use an GPU, that is ATI(CAL/BROOK/OpenCL), on Collatz C. , was an option,[i] cause of the card beïng a [i]Single Precision GPU.
Also run it 24x7 and should reach 25K RAC a day, I said 50K a day, after a month, well in that case, you'll pay me only €100.- , as happened..
A very nice deal for me, should happen far more often.......
