BOINC Manager then does all the uploading/downloading and client monitoring from one place. i.e. I open Boinc Manager and it shows me what all clients are doing, how much (%) they have crunched a work unit. With the ability to stop,start and also reassign workunits in case a computer goes down ID: 2750 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

With the ability to stop,start and also reassign workunits in case a computer goes down There currently is no way you can "cache" workunits/results on a central computer. Each client computer will require access to the internet to upload/download workunits/results. There is however a nifty program that will allow you the central management features you desire. Its called BOINCVIEW and can be found on this page: Download BOINC add-on software ID: 2759 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

This will also lower memory requirement for 'client' machines. ID: 2836 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
