SETI Driver help?

[JawaJedi]

Hi,
I just switched from the screensaver GUI to CLI and SETIDriver on winME (yea yea, winME sucks, but i like it, and it crashes less for me than win98se). I set up the SETIDriver to cache 10 and process 1 with priority of Low but when i monitor using SETIDriver it estimates the times total to be 48:12. Is this estimated time supposed to be for all 10 WU? Or... ? Help! I have a p3-600@800 on be6-ii rev1.2 256mb ram if that helps any... thanks.

It would be the time for 1 work unit.

Suggestion: get setispy to monitor progress...it works very well with seti driver.

Use this Task manager to check that SETI is getting around 95-99% of cpu time when little else is running.

Keep us posted 🙂

Thx Assimilator

That one is better than task info if you ask me😎

I have pretty much the same setup as you except with 128MB RAM (see sig). I avg. about 4.5 - 6hrs/WU depending on the WU's angle range.

Also, depending on the type of data in the WU, you may get to a place where it finds a pulse or triplet, and at that point, the time slows down considerably. When it gets past that, it'll then speed up considerably.

What version of SetiDriver are you running?

It is? lol ,even though I always post links for that 1 I still use Taskinfo 2000 (it used to be free) ,maybe I should try atm?.🙂

 

[danzigrules]

Seems to me that taskinfo uses to much of the cpu for me. Kinda sluggish. Atm is quick and to the point🙂

Hmm.. i forgot to check this, but thanks for the posts, i just d/l setispy and reintalled everything, well SETI stuff anyways, and it works fine now, i'm back to 4-6hrs/WU thanks guys.
