UD and BOINC

[Bender10]

I see that some of you are running multiple clients on your dual core boxes.

I just did a little part swapping to upgrade my wife's vpn confuser. I wound up with an x2 4200+. I had been running UD on this box.

I just decided to try and run BOINC at the same time. It's werking, and processing 2 wu's while still running UD...

Is this (i hate to use this word) normal?


More Info: After watching this phenomenoma for a few minutes:
wu #1 is running at full speed.
wu #2 is running at half speed.
And in fact they are each using 25% of cpu cycles, while UD is using 50%.

default is 2 CPU's for project preferenes

So, It's 'Normal' to be able to run 3 seperate projects (wu's) at the same time on an x2 cpu.

cool

[Big Whiskey]

if you can set priority so each project gets CPU time you can run as many projects as you want

you just have to watch the for deadlines

I have two 4200+'s running SpinHenge on 2 CPU and a Folding GPU
those two boxes alone give me about 900 credits a day for Boinc and 1000 points per day on Folding

Heh, I have 4 and sometimes 5 projects running on my X2 +3800. Proteins at home is set to use 2 cores, Majestic-12 is running and D2OL is running too. I also have a "portable" version of D2OL that runs when I bring my USB memory stick home from work to reload - I leave it in to crunch over night then take it back to work to crunch on my work machine.

My poor overloaded system jumps back and forth from project to project, but I never, ever, run out of work.
