Been running 24 wu's on standard SETI for around 45 minutes and they're all nearing 10%. Am dying to try it here. (And that's with the stock app.) Jim Problems? Check the Boinc Wiki Or the NEW SETI Enhanced FAQ ID: 61603 ·

Still running on Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium x64 Edition, Service Pack 2, (06.00.6002.00) It doesn't produce much/watt, but it's still going strong (or weak) :-) https://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/beta/show_host_detail.php?hostid=57178 ID: 61621 ·

Which is also why a custom optimized app can make a big difference. ID: 61623 ·

I mostly get tasks for SETI@home v8 8.08 windows_x86_64 (alt), but 3 or 4 tasks/day for SETI@home v8 8.05 windows_x86_64 still sneaks in. See below: SETI@home v8 8.05 windows_x86_64 Number of tasks completed 45 Max tasks per day 66 Number of tasks today 3 Consecutive valid tasks 33 Average processing rate 13.49 GFLOPS Average turnaround time 0.61 days ------------------------------------------------------- SETI@home v8 8.08 windows_x86_64 (alt) Number of tasks completed 161 Max tasks per day 200 Number of tasks today 21 Consecutive valid tasks 167 Average processing rate 18.23 GFLOPS Average turnaround time 0.99 days ID: 61626 ·

It is especially bad on the Android apps. A single app is obviously the best choice, has finished and validated hundreds of tasks and yet, the scheduler continues to throw every possible app at the devices, even apps that have never finished a task and only errored out. The scheduler app optimization mechanism does not work evidently. ID: 61627 ·

Either Eric didn`t think its not needed anymore or he simply didn`t find the time to remove it. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. ID: 61628 ·
