Running SETI on a hyperthreaded machine...only using 50% of idle.

When I am completely at idle SETI only uses 50% of my processing power. Is this because I have hyperthreading? My other single threaded processors have 90%+at idle.

If you're using SETIDriver, then you need to set the Maximum Processes to 2. It will take advantage of the 2nd Logical CPU and you'll get approximately 30% boost over a single, NON-HT processor. 🙂

If not using SETI driver, you'll need to set up SETI in 2 folders and run 2 instances of the CLI (Command Line Interface) using different command switches for the 2 processors. Not sure of all the details on this one!

I would recommend the SETIDriver method! 😉
 
The link in Engineer's sig-line as well as mine tells you how to setup the CLI CLIENT and SetiDRIVER. 😉 🙂
 
I changed processes to 2 and see two instances running at 50%! At 16MB each might i add oh well 30MB of ram to something useful 😛
