1) Message boards : Number crunching : BOINC (Linux) in a chroot? (Message 5608) Posted 24 Oct 2004 by old_user1153 Post: I'm converting my Athlon 64 Linux boxes to "real" x86-64 systems. Since CPDN isn't available for AMD64, I think about chrooting into an x86 system on another partition and run BOINC from there, using IA-32 emulation. Has anybody ever done that, does it work this way? <i>"You trade my tuna fish? For what?" - "Good stuff."</i>
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Am I the only slow one? (Message 4957) Posted 2 Oct 2004 by old_user1153 Post: I do CPDN on a 700 MHz Pentium III that runs during the office hours. Yes, that is below the "technical requirements", but it will finish in time...
3) Message boards : Number crunching : wu \'sharing\' (Message 4610) Posted 24 Sep 2004 by old_user1153 Post: > I used to be able to do this, albeit a while ago, with classic SETI@home, but > then they started tracking what client was processing a unit and started over > if the client software changed. To share workunits between different OS is not possible with BOINC either. BOINC is even more "complicated" than Seti@home in that it tracks lots more information about who is processing what workunit. You can't even move a workunit between two PCs, which was possible in Seti@home.
4) Message boards : Number crunching : Save progress more often? (Message 1724) Posted 26 Aug 2004 by old_user1153 Post: I noticed that CPDN saves its current progress about every 30 minutes. Is this somehow configurable to, say, 5 minutes? Since my computers don\'t run all day, this would give me a better feeling.
