Ok ok, maybe one GPU GTX 780 ... Normally used to fold proteins but for some short time it can also search for aliens, joined "cancer".

Installed in parallel to my F@H client on Linux ... Will that work ? Need to wait a bit until one GTX get free and finish a WU, then I can try to start BOINC.
User ID etc I have from last year when I searched for few moments.

Sorry team 3446, my production rate will drop again ... Aber SETI.Deutschland ruft mich, alte Heimat ...

And it looks like coexists with F@H on the same rig

F@H: 1CPU slot plus one GPU
SETI@Home: one GPU

Still wonder how proteins from aliens looks like ... Same amino acids ? :D

With my dual operation specially the CPU seems a bit more stressed

Had for short time F@H and SETI running on the same GPU, had to modify some config file with some [H]elp to exclude one GPU ;)

Now it's ready to search for Alf from Melmac :D

hey that's totally good -- other projects are also worthy! let us know how it goes!

Back to folding from my trip with the UFOs.

People are nice, had a good welcome in SETI-forum, I didn't feel like an alien :D
Lucky, they even spoke German (which I start to forget :eek:)

I joined the [H] team! but seems they only had three others on the event, SETI is not a priority for them.

Else I had a bit trouble to get work assigned in the middle, specially for GPU. As newbie it's a bit confusing. I also played a bit around the other BOINC projects on the fly (GPUgrid, WGC) while waiting for work, just for learning. F@H is easier (or let say: have more experience with it).

Most disturbing is the peer review of submitted results. One have to wait for the credit until someone else computed the same WU, I still have unconfirmed WU in my queue. Specially if I had my two GTX 780 in the race but need to wait for a slow CPU to confirm is a bit off. Makes it very difficult to judge the own performance on a day or week.

But hey, it's not for money so finally it doesn't matter.

Overall it was a nice experience :) but now back to business
