Hi all,
I've been running the UD agent since I started running this project (always did use this when I was doin the cancer project). However, there is a lot of talk on here about using the Boinc agent. Are there any benefits in using the Boinc agent over the UD agent, or is just a matter of CPU performance? |

The main benifit to the BOINC client is the wide variety of projects available for it. However, if you are just going to crunch for WCG, there is probably not much benefit.

There are still benefits to the BOINC package, even if only crunching WCG. It can stack jobs to run later ... without the extra need for UDMonitor. You can be uploading/downloading while the current workunit is running. The UD interface must finish the upload, download another and run a benchmark before the current workunit starts. One of my computers is old, and falls below the UD requirements. It can still run WCG projects in BOINC.
