Well I used to be big on the whole SETI malarky but never got into folding. Have been doing a full rebuild of our office and stuff so thought I might give this a tryI have shoved it on a couple of boxes for now to see how it works and get used to it but will add the rest of my machines if it seems to be happy
Currently running, a 1700MP & 1GB RAM, 2700XP & 512MB RAM, 2400XP & 1GB RAM and a 2Ghz CoreDuo & 2GB RAM.
Trying out a few different clients, got the graphical one on all the AMD machines, and the mac SMB (is that the name of it) one with Increase for monitoring (its running OS X).
If all goes well I have a 3.2Ghz Quad Xeon MacPro, dual 1Ghz P3 machine (and a few other random ones I haven't bothered commandeering yet) ready and waiting togo - just don't want to put them on my crucial machines just yet, heh.
A few questions ...
With SETI (BOINC) you had a way of logging in with user options etc. ... I take it doesn't work like that - you just sort of stick in the same name in each client?
As far as network controllable/monitorable clients go - is there anything I can use?
Installing as a service/hiding from end users, any good control software for that?
Is there any good third party client most people use? Whats the best way to maximise the usage of my machines?
Hopefully be crunching at full capacity soon![]()
