Well like the title says, what is the best optimized boinc client and where can I download it? Found some with google, but I'm not sure which one works best. I need to crunch more!!
Wow so the hundred+ computers where I replaced the boinc.exe and boinc.dll files with optimized ones two or something months ago that showed a increase in output was actually due to a increase in my stupidity.. yeah right. J/K But seriously, boinc gets optimized, maybe just not in the sence of the word you're thinking of.Originally posted by: Questar

Boinc itself is a client-server application. It uses next to zero cpu time. There's really nothing to optimize as all it does is run the applications provided by the projects.
Well, let's say you're running 100 computers and uses the "official" BOINC-client, all computers runs 24/7, and is only running CPDN coupled model (or BBC/CPDN). Also, let's say the average speed is 2 s/TS, meaning on average 1.66666 trickles/day.Originally posted by: amdxborg

Agreed, but.. "stats done running unoptimized BOINC-client" x= "stats done running optimized BOINC-client"
For most it's maybe about the science, for me it's mostly about the stats. Call me what you like, but the day a cure is found for cancer or aliens are found with dc, will be the day I just might see it differently.

"What is a optimized BOINC client?
The optimized BOINC client is also based on the official version of the BOINC client, but the changes are not aimed to increase performance. It is rather designed to correct some of the credit calculation problems that arise with the use of the optimized applications. It uses a altered benchmark test, that should better reflect the processing power per Whetstone/Dhrystone while a advanced instruction set is in use.
The optimized BOINC client is not required to run the optimized applications - both work independently. "
