Did a little testing on two machines today... on a dual core it splits the CPU time with BOINC (which is running two threads) so it gets 50% and the other two projects get 25% each. On a single core it seems to dominate the time. Not the results I'd hoped for.

PS: My testing resulted in a little bit of credit for TEAM ARP (figured somebody should get it).

Yeah, D2OL is not multithreaded.

I'm running F@H and my quaddie is churning out 3k PPD. Not bad.

So for grins... why don't ya'll run BOINC platform projects?

It's open source, has many more supported platforms, has a lot more preference settings to control execution, allows you to pick and chose different projects you wanna crunch for, is multi-CPU, multi-core and multi-thread aware, 64-bit versions available, etc. etc.

Don't get me wrong, if stand alone Folding (there is a similar BOINC based project) or D2OL is all you have any interest in and it works for you I can understand "why go thru the trouble of setting up a new platform".

But if there's some other shortfall in BOINC I'm curious as to what I've become blind to.

PS: But more importantly, have you seen Dashken's new posts in babe wars!

I ran D2OL to help heat up the room when I was living in Australia

Don't really want to do that now that I'm back in Singapore

That's what I was doing too. Download at home, bring to office to crunch, after finish, bring back home to upload. Got fed up with it after D2OL put a upload time limit to something like 1-2 weeks. So, if you downloaded the units and they are not uploaded back by 2 weeks or so, when you upload them, no points.
