1) Message boards : BOINC client : Eathquake@home ???? (Message 685) Posted 9 Oct 2005 by fzb Post: given the time a wu needs to return and comparing it with the time you have before a earthquake wents off, i am not sure if that would help. "simulating" the earthqwake though would work with boinc. boinc as a warning system would be to little "real time" though i think. (despite i am not aware of a precise prediction method for earthquakes, but that doesn't mean there cannot be one ;) )

2) Message boards : BOINC client : checkpoints instead of minutes (Message 630) Posted 1 Oct 2005 by fzb Post: depending on the wu length, i could even imagine an option to finish one wu completely before switching project (although for CPDN a trickle would be more appropriate). LTD should take care of resource shares. leaving app in memory is not a solution for machines with many projects/many processors. e.g. my xeon with 4 procs would already with 2-3 projects "waste" a big amount of memory resources.
