After running BOINC 7 for a couple of months, I have to make one comment on the new design. I don't like it. I am subscribed to 7 projects, including Cosmology@Home. My machine has 4 CPU cores and runs 32 bit Windows. The previous version of BOINC would keep a workunit inventory for most of the projects. I would usually run one Cosmology and 3 workunits from other projects. This worked fine. The new BOINC tends to download a large batch of workunits for one project and run nothing only that one project until the batch is done. Cosmology work units are huge and one cannot reasonably run 4 Cosmology work units at one time on a 32 bit system. They take too much memory. So everything works fine, except when the scheduler gets its large batch of Cosmology. For the next few days my machine is very slow doing anything else. I liked the old way better. |
