Hey guys I am switching over. 2 Questions:
1) is there a link like last time where you could see everyone's progress on 1 page instead of scrolling next next next on BOINC website?
2) are there any optimized versions (ie. old P4 architecture - 3.2ghz). I ran textclient for old SETI and it was faster than graphics client..wondering if something like that is availble for BOINC too?
Thanks
EDIT: just download the progam, made the switch and linked old SETi account....but it say my
Total Credit 0.00
Recent average credit 0.00
yet in Account data it says:
SETI@home classic workunits
as of 15 March 2005 8,727
SETI@home classic CPU time
as of 15 March 2005 27,592 hours
So why was this not applied to my Team Anandtech account?
Everyone starts at zero credits under SETI@Home/BOINC, the "classic"-info is just for informational purposes.
#1, too see your standings in team-stats and so on, use external stats-sites. Look at
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/links.php
Please note, generating stats-dumps takes a long time, so SETI@Home only updates the stats-dumps once per day.
Also, only users with credit shows-up in the stats.
For your personal up-to-date stats, look at
http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/home.php
Also note, only Validated results gets credit, before tried validated they'll show as "Pending", and a wu needs atleast 3 "success"-results before tried validated.
#2, the BOINC "core" client is a cli, that preferably runs as service. the BOINC Manager, gui, doesn't normally need to be running. Science-applications only displays graphics when asked to do it, when not displaying graphics they'll perform as a cli.
That being said, there's various optimized seti-applications available, try

The 2nd link has the fastest seti-application, but not sure if it's fully stable yet and gives validated results...
