Hello, just added a PIII type processor w/ 512MB RAM to my "arsenal"
---------------------------------------- , I've tried a few searches for "short work units" and the like to see if I could find a WCG project that my computer is capable of actually completing work units in...Basically, is there a list somewhere which basically gives you a rough idea of which WCG tend to be fastest? I know this incredibly general but I thought I might as well try and see what you guys thought... So far I've heard the RICE project isn't very intensive, so I'm running that, but any tips for other projects? Thanks for any input! [Edit 1 times, last edit by TKH at Jun 11, 2009 11:56:38 AM] |

Short we have, HCMD2. They are presently defaulting to running 4 CPU hours, the rare one longer, many shorter. RICE is guaranteed 7 hours, does not matter how fast the machine, always 7 hours.
----------------------------------------PS, you don't tell what OS. HCMD2 on Linux can run veeeery long for unknown reason to me. On Windows they do well.

Brilliant! Thank you very much! Exactly what I was looking for.
----------------------------------------I'll be going for RICE, HCC, and HCMD2 if you were wondering :) [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Jun 9, 2009 2:41:37 PM] |
