 I think you have solved the mystery, FolgersPowered. This explains why Rick Alther asked people to please right-click and use Exit on the Icon rather than kill the process with Task Manager in an early post. |

I'm a little confused how a user could have 1 device and be spitting out results soooo fast. A user (slimasian) in my team (that I am very excited to be associated with) has 1 device and is avg 5 results/day. Each result is avg 1hr 39min. I have seven (7) P4 PCs running at 2.4Ghz to 3.2Ghz and I'm only avg 3.9 results/day? What kind of machine could that be? I'd like to get one for my office!  I know that if you go into Task Manager and set processes WCGrid_Rosetta.exe, UD.exe, and the task specific process (ud_*****.exe) to Above Normal or High priority, you'll get much, much better performance. I don't think it will give you 10x better performance, but it is definitely faster. It sounds like he may have found a way to trick the software or maybe create sort of a fake sub-grid on his side. |

This is what Rick Alther warned against. Since the Agent runs the Rosetta program at lowest priority, it utilizes the CPU 100% of the time, except when something else needs to run. The only way to do better is to block something that needs to run. I think that if you restore the old priority to the program, you will find that it will run just as fast.

So it's probably luck of the draw instead of some Alien Technology he/she has at his/her disposal I had a communication with my alien friend yesterday, and he confirmed that the Intergalactic Group is testing a computer on the Grid. IG is sorry for causing any confusion, and, yes, the computer (actually the new fancy wrist model) is very powerful. You need to lay off that stuff man, it is killing brain cells and tarring your lungs... |

Are you saying you installed an F & H drive on a 128 Meg thumb drive and installed the program WCG on it?

Are you saying you installed an F & H drive on a 128 Meg thumb drive and installed the program WCG on it? sorry dude, but if ya'll talkin' to me, the answer is NO. We gave up on work [for the time being] at f@h and [my] device/user-id is installed on a [[cheapo 128MB]]"Thumb"drv but I want to know..... How can we put our Virtual/page/Swap File on a RAMDSK w/ WinXP ?  Are You REALLY Computing? |
