If on a 64 bit OS, you might consider looking at getting a 64 bit BOINC compile. Some things that are then processing faster. Aren't there problems with the 6.10.xx on WCG? I was having the well-known problem with HPF2 terminating early when running BOINC 6.10.56 64-bit under Win7 64-bit, so I switched to 6.2.28 and that solved it. But I just started using BOINC 6.10.58 64-bit a couple of days ago, and no problems yet, though that is more likely due to changes in HPF2. (This is on a dual-core E8400.)

I did not see any of this and I am running with 6.10.56. My only active WUs at this time are for CMD2 and HFCC (meaning CMD2 is really the only active one). I only have about 18 days (calendar) before I get to two years for CMD2, and then I will remove it from my chosen projects and I will see what is available then to add to the list. |

Also, if Windows launch is July 17, that's today. What is the status of CEP2 for Windows?

Here is one of the discussions, but there are others. http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread_thread,26706 You usually have to be running a multi-core processor under a 64-bit Windows OS to see it, and it occurs for a certain combination of projects that I don't recall at the moment. But the basic problem was in HPF2, which seems to be fixed with the latest version. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Jim1348 at Jul 17, 2010 9:08:02 PM] |

I, like so many others, would really like to run some WU's for CEP2 but I'm starting to think that I might change one of my boxes over to Linux, just to get started (and some points added to the tally), the suspense is not doing me any good at all!!!
----------------------------------------Can anyone who is running CEP2 under Linux suggest a viable set-up to run on a multi-core OC i7? Many thanks.  |

Personal opinion, comforted by the reports of many others: install Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx for codenames lovers) in dual boot (it does it well by itself over a Windows installation) and once it is running fine use Synaptic the package manager to install BOINC. It will install BOINC as a daemon (same as service for Windows) and you will simply have to attach to WCG to get it crunching.
----------------------------------------You will find Synaptic in System->Administration, and BOINC Manager in Applications->System Tools once BOINC has been installed. Good luck. Jean. |

I refuse to install Linux just to be able to run this project. I will wait for them to support Windows.
