New to Seti@Home

[Geekling]

I just installed it on my 2 computers.

I'll install it on the 3rd once I get some memory for it.


Any suggestions for a new guy?

Welcome to The search,& to our team?

So which version of SETI are you running?

 

[Geekling]

Forgot to mention that in my other post didn't I? even after I edited it. lol....

Seti version 3.08

 

[Wiz]

Cool, are either of those P4's Hyperthreading?

 

[Geekling]

The first one is. The shuttle.

 

[Wiz]

Well, you can use Seti Driver & set Max Processes to 2 & it will do two WU's at a time.
I get much better WU's / day that way on my HT machines.

 

[Geekling]

Wheres that at?

Go here:

Smoke's How-To

Also, SETI CLI version 3.03 is faster than 3.08 if you want to squeeze the most WUs out of that beast.

 

[Geekling]

Alright. Its done on the HT computer.

I guess I'll join team Anandtech.

 

[Geekling]

My email is babidi04@yahoo.com for Seti.

Does it account for both CPUs?(2 computers) Just wondering how it works.

 

[RaySun2Be]

Use SETIDriver, and set it to 2 CPUS. The Hyperthreading should take it from there.

And Welcome! to Team Anandtech!

 

[Geekling]

I did that on the HT but I also have one on another computer. I'm number 3325 lol. Almost at the bottom hehe

Hello Babidi (Geekling) and welcome to the TeAm!

 

[Geekling]

Thanks Smoke.

 

[ElFenix]

welcome! :beer:

 

[zaph]

Welcome to the team!

I'm sure with those crunchers you will rise qickly in the ranks!

 

[Wiz]

Welcome to the TeAM - and Yes if you used the same email account on both machines both will be "as one" in your stats.
Let us know what kind of WU / day & hours per WU you are getting.

 

[Geekling]

Thanks guys.

I used the same e-mail - Babidi04@yahoo.com and the same name - Babidi

The shuttle is showing 5 units complete and the hp is showing one. I look at my stats and it says 5.

hehe...oh well.

 

[Wiz]

If that's the Wiz & Smoke stats page remember they only update once an hour.

 

[Wiz]

Your showing 6 units today and have moved up 298 places to #3026.

WTG!!

BTW - in Seti Driver be sure to cache a bunch of WU's by setting "Desired Cache Size" to whatever you think is good. I like to have at least 4 days cached on each machine plus I connect to a Seti Q where lots more are cached.

Last power outage / down time at Berkley I actually ran out & had to lean on TeAm mates for some extra WU's. Now I'm good for about 2 weeks.
