Do you guys run it?
I’m trying and it doesn’t seem to slow each other down to much…Possible exception with CPDN! That takes up HUGE amount of processor power!! 
Or is that what most of you do anyhow?
I’ve been toying with working on a Windows app that will look at processor usage over time. Something along the lines of
1 - Check CPU usage
2 - if cpu usage = <10% check processes
3 - if boinc process running and no cpu usage, start the next DC project in the list, eg Lifemapper or seti-classic
Sort of a make sure it runs all the time type thing. I just run Boinc, nothing else, but Lifemapper is installed as a service on all Boinc machines. If I spot an empty machine, shortcut to services and start Lifemapper. The idea above is simply an idea I had once upon a time that never made it past the keyboard. :chuckle:

Think Dear Mighty One that it is time to stop toying and start working. I project I would be interested in seeing take form.

OK, you got me, as the brain is in overdrive today. What do you think would be the best way to monitor ??
I think for a little app I <might> be able to do in the next hour or so…
For now, I’ll write a CPU monitor that once the CPU is less than 10% on three polling times a batch file called “launch_next.bat” will launch.
How does that sound for starters ?

I’ve given up BOINC again. I’m just running SETI1 CLi with Folding@Home on the side. Works fine, so BOINC stays in the cupboard for a few more weeks.
cracked it already :lol:
Just need some fine tuning now to allow for when Boinc switches projects…

/edit have a go/play with this, you’ll need to vb6 runtime files in order to play
Same. Well without the folding@home… I might look into that. What is it about?
Sounds good what u r up to.
Maybe u can add some switches fromwhere u can select the programm that should run when cpu usage is low/zero.
I really should start learning c++ again
If I get the chance to play with it a bit more, then yes, the next step is preferences for different projects or programs that could be browsed to.
Appreciate any ideas on how to develop, could try to add a monitor reading the relative <state> files of the projects being ran. Could be quite a funky app if I had the time to fully develop it.
Keep the ideas coming though and I’ll create a wish list.

I had know doudt that you would…
How soon before you pass it along.

Gee you would think I was blonde…
Off to try it.

Folding@Home is a project that analyses gene structure of proteins in the hope of creating new and better cures for illnesses etc.
For more info go to http://folding.stanford.edu
If I may add to that, F@H and P@H are essentially ‘competing’, but not really. They both do the same type of work with different techniques.
As far as the result is concerned, you’re right… and both do the same. Where P@H will have the edge (I might need to be corrected here) is that Predictor uses Havard’s “Charmms” program for the 2nd stage of protein refinement.
I admit I am somewhat behind on the latest inside F@H as I kept hearing rumors that it was alive, then dead, over and over.
One things is for certain… whether it be P@H or F@H output used, we need to get some fresh input data to TSC / D2OL for protease inhibitor development. D2OL has stopped counting how many passes they’ve made over the data now attempng to hit ‘the right combination’ with their Monte Carlo style.
