Posted 19 Nov 2015 by Speedy51 Post: Hi I am Alan, I just joined the project. Hi welcome to the project. If you open the main Boinc window then click options > computing preferences under the computing tab you can change the percentage of CPUs used. For a start I would change this to 50% and see how you go. I have given you the instructions on how to do it on a Windows machine I think it will be the same for our Mac |

G2m1285_2950528_0 G2m1285_2950530_0 Are these right, there is no 6,490+ to be seen in the names? Looking we are up to 295 million Credit is very nice on these tasks Thanks in advance. |

Posted 18 Jul 2015 by Speedy51 Post: OPN usually under lasieved application. Main reason why I was asking was because more help was needed with 6490+ but I have yet to find the application that this number is supported |

Posted 16 Jul 2015 by Speedy51 Post: Are the OPN _463442a work units part of 4,490+ work units? Sorry for delay in response. Reason why I was asking is so that I can possibly help out with this job, not sure what app it is running under |

Calling all 64-bit Linux sievers!
(Message 1180)
Posted 3 Aug 2013 by Speedy51 Post: I use Ubuntu. Didn't have any experience with Linux, but it was easy to setup a dual boot installation on a Win 7 system. Thanks for the tip. I've used the Ubuntu windows installer before, this time I am going to install Ubuntu the proper way as I believe it will work faster. I am aware of the best way to format the drive now I will look at doing this over the coming week |

Posted 3 Aug 2013 by Speedy51 Post: I would be interested in lending a hand with Linux work units if somebody could provide me with the best distro and how to install on a hard drive step-by-step. Am I correct in saying that the hard drive needs to be partitioned for memory use ect? I would be jewel booting with Windows 7.I have a 1 TB Western digital drive that I can install Linux on |

Posted 9 Oct 2012 by Speedy51 Post: Right now, NFS@Home has the rough equivalent of ~1000 cores running full time, so adding 576 cores would only reduce the overall sieve time by about 1/3. Fair enough. I wasn't very clear. What I meant was if you could run 1 task on 576 cores it would be done in no time. |

Posted 1 Oct 2012 by Speedy51 Post: Thanks for the great answers. Greg have you been tempted to Sieve a job on 576? I bet it would be done fast. |

Posted 29 Sep 2012 by Speedy51 Post: Thanks Greg. Man post processing takes along time. How many cores do you have to run on one job & whats the most core you've used at one time? |

Posted 27 Sep 2012 by Speedy51 Post: Gr8 news. That's just over 167 years of CPU time. Out of interest how much work is done in an hour of postprocessing time? |
