Simple enough really, what are you crunching and what are your projects splits ?
All my Boinc projects are set to 100, the only boinc projects running are Rosetta and BBC CPDN, otherwise all remote machines and a few still here are Folding. Soon to make the switch back to Folding I think as well once the goal of 100K Rosetta has been reached.
100% BOINC for simplicity of set service and forget. Of this :-
70% Climate Prediction - again needs little effort because you’re never going to run out of such long term WUs
20% Rosetta - Just because this seems to be in fashion at TPR and is well contested atm.
10% Seti - Because thats where we all started, just couldn’t do at least some.
I had a machine crunching Seti on and off for ages now so it seems a shame to walk away from it. Having recently decided to leave another machine on 24/7 I thought it wouyld be good to try another so started folding.
With only two machines I can’t really see the point of splitting the effort any more as it won’t give either project a proper chance.
I’ve got 2 machines. I want to do SETI, Einstein, and Rosetta. I haven’t had good luck doing splits. It seemed like one project would always have different deadlines, and the earliest one would suck-up the CPU time.
I think I’ll try…
1 machine: SET 100%
1 machine: Einstein 50% and Rosetta 50%
Here is how I currently manage the split between 6 projects:
Project Share Average
seti, rosetta, SZTAKI 60 each
Einstein 80 --> 81.31
LHC 120
CPDN 20 --> 21.47
Sum of project shares roughly equals total RAC for Dione and as you see this is working nicely for the two projects with stable production on the one machine.
80 for Einstein gave about one old unit per day - now 5 or 6 Albert units.
By setting lower shares for the work venue I use Rhea to beef up a particular project - at present SZTAKI with seti and rosetta as backups.
Another idea for defining the shares would be to have the total adding up to 24 or 1440, so that each project’s share would correspond to hours or minutes active per day.
I don’t think so, but you will have to be the judge of that when I get the dual 270 running and the rest of the farm up. Now did you ever have a weekend where you wanted to do something and the wife had your weekend planned for you! Like turning over 200 sq ft. of garden and enhance it with 10 bags of steer compost. I got the damn blisters to prove it.
