Just an FYI for anyone out there running Einstein@Home and Predictor@Home...

Einstein@home is begging for more help getting WUs back faster, and Predictor@Home is falling behind processing all the WUs turned in. If you're running both, it wouldn't be a bad idea to reduce the resource to Predictor and increase the resource to Einstein. Just don't drop that SETI resource share! wink

I've got two machines now running Einstein@home part of the time (33 1/3 %), but am not participating in Predictor@home. I'll gladly reduce my percentage of p@h by a large percentage, though tongue

I do wish I could change the allocation percentages on a computer-by-computer basis, though.

Evening folks. I see these new projects Einstein and Predictor.

Can someone tell me how Predictor is or will be different from Folding ? Cheers.

Kosh,

I don't know if the BOINC people fixed the work vs home vs school issue yet, but you could designate one as each and then change the allocation that way. I would like to make the same type of changes to my multiple computers, but I'm too lazy.

Nefarious Bidding,

Any explanation I would give would be wrong, so I'll just point you in the right direction (below). You could check out Rosetta and SIMAP to see other potential interesting protein projects.

I noticed that FAH was doing a beta test of the BOINC client. Anyone have any updates? They are denying access to the beta homepage.

Well, so they do, thanks smile Has that always been available with the customized preferences? Since I run CLI clients, I admit I haven't looked too closely at the project prefs.

I'm already using work vs. home to separate my computers by their harddisk capacities, so I could continue that with the resource shares (as long as I don't need more than three different slots, of course hmm ).

They've always had it. It just never worked right for a long while. I believe the 5.x clients are fine.

The good thing is that you can make all the changes for share and venue via the individual project's website. The host then updates itself next time it contacts the project. You don't have to touch the actual host unless the client itself is too old or whatever.

After you log in here:

you go here for the host prefs:
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/hosts_user.php

and here for the resource share prefs:
