I was just wondering if you's have all tried to optimise Seti on your machines - ie by trying out different versions, running batches, maximising RAM speed etc.
The reason I ask is because I am effectively running on ~1GHz worth of systems 24/7 and am keeping up with a guy (Yea, it's you ScooterX!) who is running over 3GHz worth - maybe he isn't running it as much as me (24 hours each and every day except holidays
). So I wanted to see if we could help everybody go a little faster - if unoptimised machines were optimised they could produce anywhere upto 100% more units - or beyond! I'm sure this would make a big difference to the team.
Maybe the guys who produce exceptional times for units relative to other similar machines could post a few tips. Little things like switching memory to CAS2 helped me quite a bit and could improve others too. And Rags uses Win2k and GUI with most services switched off I believe which helps his times.
Paul.
PS: As for thanking me for noticing you are welcome ScooterX - though I could hardly not notice it! I had been away for 3 weeks and would've been in the top 100 had I left my machines on - but I believe we had a few powercuts which might have caused problems!
