1) Questions and Answers : Windows : What's wrong with the "Rosetta mini with new score terms 1.02"? (Message 56581) Posted 1 Nov 2008 by BorgVampire Post: Or you could add a second project that has small files that you can do quickly in the event that Rosetta has no work available so that your pc is at least contributing to something even if it is not Rosetta. :o) I crunch for Seti as well as Rosetta so if one goes down or has no work for a couple of days due to maintenance the other will carry on crunching extra work for that period. However if you choose to do Seti as well and only want small work units that last only a few hours then I suggest you take the tick out of the Astropulse work units in the Seti settings as they can take over 100 hours on even a pretty fast pc like the Athlon xp dual core 4600mhz which I used to have. Happy Crunching
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Why no R@h work downloading? I also run SETI (Message 50822) Posted 19 Jan 2008 by BorgVampire Post: What I would love to see is Boinc deliberately slowing faster projects down to equalize the work done by all projects to a point that all projects get an equal work load finished. Also if a project goes down for a period, when it comes back up I would like boinc to slow the other project down to allow it to catch up. That way both projects would stay at equal footing throughout the years. Obviously there would need to be a setting for which projects you would like this to happen with in your preferences but I think it would be fairly easy to program that in just useing the results tables. At the moment I try to do this by setting Rosetta at 53% and Seti at 47, but they are never equal for long.

Rosetta will then download more work units but your computer may not be able to complete both projects work load on time. To solve that fact you could then leave your computer on for longer periods, however if you leave your computer on 24/7 that will obviously be impossible and you may have unfinished work units that go beyond their deadlines for completion.
