1) Questions and Answers : Preferences : Target CPU run time Option (Message 64443) Posted 12 Dec 2009 by Giles Post: There was a discussion about it here. There are many others, but most of them are found under threads that are discussing RAC as the measure of determination for the "best setting for my configuration". Bottom line, it won't really affect your RAC. If your machine is on most of the time, then longer runtimes just let you get more work done with less tasks and less downloads. Thanks Mod.Sense! BTW, before I posted I did do a search using the 'Search forums' button for Target CPU run time and nothing came up. If you do a 'Search forums' now this is the only thread that comes up, but the thread you posted the link to in Number Crunching does not! The search limit is set to only 30 days so I guess next time I have to do an Advanced search :-)
2) Questions and Answers : Preferences : Target CPU run time Option (Message 64435) Posted 11 Dec 2009 by Giles Post: Hello, Could someone please explain what the option: Target CPU run time does and what is the recommended setting for it? I crunch Seti@home and Rosetta@home on the same 4-core workstation. I have allocated 2 cores to S@H and 2 for R@H. I want to set the option to the best setting for my configuration. The computer is on 24/7/365... Thank you.
