Some of you may watch the S@H message board too: I did not know about this forum before, so posted messages about my modifications and extensions of the BOINC core client there.

There were several threads about previous versions in the past, but the recent build with many new features is accessible here:
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=26623

There are these additional features:

  • configurable RPC port
  • network masks / IP blocks in remote_hosts.cfg
  • return_results_immediately
  • configurable CPU affinity
  • configurable process priority
  • automatic credit self-calibration
  • priority projects - backup projects will be started only when there is no work for the priority project(s)
  • automatic deleting of uncompleted overdue WU's
  • alert when computation exceeds max time
  • manual resetting of all long term and short term debts

In case it interests you, there are more details and the source code at http://boinc.truxoft.com

Hi!

I go to http://boinc.truxoft.com
and downloaded the optimzed client for sse

I find some bugs !

1) The client version 5.3.6 ignores completely
Network activity based on preferencs
& Network activity suspend

*This bug does not exist on client version 5.3.2

2) In both versions
<return_results_immediately/>
does not report uploaded results immediately after the upload

*Anyway results are uploaded immediately, with the standard client
provided u are connected to Internet
*However that uploaded results, are reported only a few hours later,
*unless u click update after the upload

3)In both versions
<process_priority>2</process_priority>
Do set the task priority to normal (as advertised)

However the running thread priority into that task is unaffected
Thus this is only a cosmetic priority change (completely innocuous)

*I am looking is into a way to set thread priority to 4
Currently, despite any task priority u set to task,
the crunching thread always run at priority 1

Thanks
