Yes, I know. A UNIX kernel. I bothered to mention it because I din't want the Admins to limit the work units to specifically a LINUX OS after they had read this board. [That was a joke, in case you also feel the need to explain to me that they don't read here.]

Linux or Mac. It's only Windows that's choking on them.
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Discussion on increasing the default run time (Message 58793) Posted 14 Jan 2009 by 6dj72cn8 Post: After some thought I am unable to justify my preference in a fashion likely to be helpful or meaningful to the project. I therefore withdraw my previous comment and ask you to ignore it.

5) Message boards : Number crunching : Speed of Rosetta app on PPC Macs (Message 31036) Posted 13 Nov 2006 by 6dj72cn8 Post: http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/apps.php Note: the Mac OS X (PPC) application is not optimized and will not fully utilize the PPC processor. I wonder if they mean it is not optimised just at the moment or it never will be? I run mainly SETI and Einstein but Rosetta seems a worthy cause (in terms of the science, not the lowly credit granted) and I would like to contribute more crunch time -- if only the app wasn't inefficient.
