I got mine also. Now my focus is going to Beta work units to get the last missing badge. I need to focus on the Beta units too!  Is there any technique to increase chances of getting them? [Edit 1 times, last edit by NixChix at Jun 3, 2008 4:43:33 AM] |

I suppose that given enough cores, you could get the 14 days completed in 8 hours. It was the speediness of the validation that I found surprising. You still would have had to wait for the slowest cruncher in the quorum to complete before you got your credit. As Adywebb and GIBA already explained, for this specific NRW project the slow crunchers are not the problem. It is those who run with very large extra work buffers and those who share their processor between WCG and other DC sites. Cheers. Jean (Rice-badged since May 17 )Not all PCs are "on" 24x7 and also some (GavisconQueen for example) have their clients throttled back. Cheers  |

Dont know what you use your laptop for in day to day work, but if mainly word processing other low demand work, set BOINC to 100% and use intel Speedstep or whatever the IBM T41 has to control CPU speed and lower it. This way you get your 8 hours in 8 hours and a bit, get the job done and keep it cool. And when you have a heavier chore flip the switch temporarily. And now the  part, start asking for a faster computer because it is so slow doing powerpoint.  LOL -- a "good lazy day" is when I'm only looking at email and powerpoint files! What I really need to do is look at getting a working PC at home, so I can increase my overall throughput!  |

I got mine also. Now my focus is going to Beta work units to get the last missing badge. I need to focus on the Beta units too! Is there any technique to increase chances of getting them?At first I would attempt the same technique as for ACAH (short polling interval, large buffer size) as I described in the ACAH forum. But I am not sure if this helps because of the new Beta WU distribution policy described by knreed in the Beta Forum. (spread WU to more different computers) At least I wasn't able to fetch a Beta WU recently. But I think this should be discussed in Beta forum. This thread was mainly about rice badges.  |
