Hello all, When I visited truxoft website, I noticed that it said: Many new features, enhancements and improvements in comparison to the official client - CPU affinity, process priority, watchdogs, alerts, configurable RPC port, network masks, priority/backup projects, scheduling, return after upload, security,... If truxoft has improved the official client, why don't the official one implement the features which the optimised client has improved? It must be great help, I think. Regards, |

As for the "improved features", the developer of the truxoft boinc port is welcome to contribute his changes back to the boinc project to be included in the offical client. No guarentee they will accept all the changes, but I am sure some of those features would be. |

Rom Walton explains why not here, possibly better than most of us could. I suspect he does not. He was talking only about the optimized science apps, not BCC. Peter |

Thanks for all replies! I got an answer on the forum which is hosted by a project, which said that it has been improved for Seti@home especially. If it's used for other projects, it'll claim extraordinarily high credits. Therefore using the client for other projects may cause results sent by the client to be denied, while it've implement functions, such as reporting a result very soon after it finished crunching of the WU, that hadn't been done in the original client. Thanks for reading, suguruhirahara |
