can I run multiple run_clients on Linux? If so, how? In the old sah, I created a few dirs, cp the code in each and via a script cd to that dir and run seti, loop for all dirs. thanks |

Can I run multiple run_clients on Linux? If so, how? For a multi processor system, know you can let run one boinc client, which starts your configured value of seti@home apps - one process per CPU. You can configure this on the website/your account/General Preferences/On multiprocessors, use at most X processors. |

Can I run multiple run_clients on Linux? If so, how? Indeed, my dual system runs two sah apps, one per cpu. My other linux system has one cpu only. I was hoping I could run multiple instances of the run_client like I used to do with the old classic sah. Thank you for your reply, though. |

I thought I could contribute more to sah. If not, I'll shut up. |

Hi pavlos Boinc does it all for you, you don't have to run multiple instances. Running one instance will use ALL of the available CPU (1 x 100%) If you were to run 2 instances (or more), they would average 50% CPU each (2 x 50%) so you wouldn't gain anything and you may even lose CPU caused by switching between instances (2 x 49%) |
