Welll...I have 16 machines and NONE of them "crapped out"! My cache is
set at 1 day and my machines are STILL crunching!!!!! How do I do
it...I signed up for Einstein, so when Seti goes down, I CRUNCH ON!!!
You can complain all you;d like but Berkeley themselves suggested
SEVERAL times we users sign up for other projects because they
acknowledge popularity is creating problems for them.

And that is one very important advantage of Boinc. Multiple projects can be selected so that a number of good science projects can be run. The user can select their preferences as to which they consider the most 'important' to them. If work is short for one project, then the other projects can take advantage of the slack.

A very good idea.


All good crunchin',

and good for solid 100% utilisation.
