Hurrah,

I wish I had that computational power.  Set SETI Driver to 4.  You're
throughput will go up even though the time it takes to process a single WU
will go down.  Don't forget to up your cache size as well.  Also, don't
bother with the Affinity checkbox in your case.

Mike.


HI Mike,

Have set the Processes to 4 on my XEON Dual Xeon server.

Number of WU results over the last two days has gone from 8






to......






8 !!

So, no change that I can tell right now .

(Maybe the time per WU has increased at the same rate as number of completed
WU's has increased ?? - hence no actual increase in WU's per day - just the
same number but crunched in a different way !!)

Will give it a couple more days to see if it actually improves (given that
some WU's are more "processor intensive" than others).
