2 seti clients on one machine?!!?

im running two instances of SETI on my machine (t-bird 1.2Ghz 512 DDR ), one using setispy and the other using setidriver. There are two instances of SETI running for sure, each using about 49% of my idle time... but they both seem to be giving me about 5.75 hr times... so i get 2 results every 5.75 hrs!!! I am a bit confused about this... so enlightenment is asked for... 😀
 
Check the date/time stamps on those completed WUs (are you using a SetiQueue?). You're getting 5.75 hrs of CPU time but is that equating to 5.75 hours of actual time?
 
You sure the SetiSpy isn't just reporting on the progress of the client used by Seti Driver? There is an option for doing that. 😉

 
networkman.. i disabled that function in setidiver... i'm sure of that!!!


and advice for all you drunk guys out there.. dont try postinf when ur high... im takin like 5 mins to post this!!! 😱 D

I posted this message in under 4 minutes...top that 😀

Seriously, I wonder how two different instances of SETI on a rig w/ one processor provides better WU times than a single instance? 😕
 
thats the reason for this post Hosien... I was wondering exactly the same thing
i think i might be gaining only about 1-2 WUs a day, but every little bit helps....


BTW... me all sobered up now 🙁
 
You will probably not gain any production at all (if so, maybe a minute or 2)

The Seti client takes just under 1mb of memory in the cache on the processor, and so if you have a processor with 256k or 512k cache, then with one process then bits of it are swapping in/out of the cache, so with 2 of these clients gasping for the cache, it can't help with speeding it up.

It is generally best to just let one process go through, as there is almost no gain in running 2 at once.

Confused

What's your average time when only running 1 instance?
