Hi ll, i have been using rosetta for quite a while now...im just a WU person, i dont follow much of the science behind it, although i have reasonable intelligence i have little scientific knowledge, i just let a few machines crunch and am happy the cpu cycles are used for something :)

And that is why i am here.... i remember back when i was using SETI...before the move to using the boinc software , and they had a non graphical....command line version of seti...which would use more cpu speed. At least thats how i remember it.....and i was wondering if there is a way to crunch harder.
One or two of the machines i use boinc on are basically sitting virtually idle for a fair amount of time and it would be nice to crank boinc/rosetta up a bit.
But none of them are ....anything special at all, none of them are gaming machines using extremly fast gfx cards

Anyhow i looked through the stickies didnt see anything i recognised as a post of "speeding up boinc" or such, and just wondered if someone could point me in the right direction if at all possible , thank you for reading and hope for a reply

Karl

SETI had an "optimized client". With Rosetta@home the source is not available, so everyone uses the client application provided by the project. Not using the screensaver, and no leaving the graphics displayed when you aren't looking at them would be the main things. The best way to double the resource committed to Rosetta is to recruit a friend to begin crunching too.

I am quite amazed i didnt think of "pimping" rosetta more.... :) obviosly most of my family use boinc in some project of their choice...mainly rosetta ...just down to the medicinal qualities of it, but thank you for the answer :)
