I have a dual boot machine. When I checks the stats on the seti page I noticed that they were different when running XP, or SuSE. The machine is mostly idle. Is anyone else running setiathome? Any thoughts on boosting perfromance?
Running under XP ... % of time BOINC client is running 81.8484 %
Running under SuSE 9.3 with X ... % of time BOINC client is running 58.6482 %
How similarly are the two BOINC clients configured? In particular, is one set to compute constantly and the other tied to screen-saver
They have the share the same configuration file. At first I thought that maybe it was computing the average including the time that the Other OS was running, but the number haven't changed much since I stopped running XP on the machine. I thought I had 9.3 on the machine but it is an upgrade 9.0 would a 2.6 kernel make that much difference? Just tried an upgrade but it yast can't read the packages from the SuSE dvd. -- Collector of vintage computers http://www.ncf.ca/~ba600 Machines to trade http://www.ncf.ca/~ba600/trade.html Open Source Weekend http://www.osw.ca
