While searching around for other CPU projects, I noticed today that Universe@home has some tasks available. Currently, there are only 512 tasks available so I do not think these tasks will last long. There were no tasks available yesterday when I checked. http://universeathome.pl/universe/index.php

It appears to do alot of I/O. I guess I need to compare numbers with you, but think this isn't a good project for boxes running OS on USB flash drive. 0.01 Universe X-ray sources v2 with 81 WUs completed Amd 61xxes @ 2.8 Ghz - 8:14:53 Average

Maybe I could create an app_config.xml limit the I/O for a better fit. How do you find the Projectname for these WUs? <app_config> <app> <name>Projectname</name> <max_concurrent>24</max_concurrent> </app> </app_config>

You can find the name in the file client_state.xml found in your BOINC directory. The name for this project is universe-xray_sources_v2. Here is what I have seen so far with the few tasks that have completed on my hosts. 920 @ 4.0 GHz HT Off - Windows - 2:01:30 Average 3930K @ 4.2 GHz HT Off - Linux - 3:00:27 Average 5960X @ 4.3 GHz HT Off - Windows - 1:45:07 Average The tasks run significantly slower in Linux OS. I noticed this on the test project as well.

For the USB flash drive, if you have stable power and UPS battery backup, you could look into the option of running your BOINC folder in RAM out of /dev/shm. You would have to copy the folder back to flash before shutting down though. This would probably be more beneficial for a system that runs long term for at least a few months without shutdown or reboot.

linuxrouter you could look into the option of running your BOINC folder in RAM out of /dev/shm. Would that be a BOINC client setting? or could you setup for the working directory / checkpoint files to be running on a RAMDisk, like what was done of the [H] Appliance for F@H?

Took a little peek at this Universe Project, and hooked up one rig to see how they went. If anyone wonders about badges, here goes: Neptune (10k) Uranus (50k) Saturn (100k) Jupiter (250k) Mars (500k) Earth (1kk) Venus (5kk) Mercury (25kk) Sun (100kk) Only one WU has started, but seems to need a tad over one hour on a 4960X @4,2Ghz HT/ Off.

It would not be a BOINC feature and would have to be setup manually. If you have all your BOINC files in one folder, you could copy the whole folder over to /dev/shm and then start BOINC from that new location. Something like this in an xterm: cp -a ~/boinc /dev/shm cd /dev/shm/boinc ./boinc --allow_remote_gui_rpc Anything in /dev/shm is in RAM so you would want to make sure there is good system stability and battery backup.

Something like this in an xterm: Thanks, that's interesting. I'll see if I can try that after I return from spring break.

I Wish they had some more Tasks ready to send. I like to do Outer Space Projects.

Their server status web page shows zero tasks currently available, and only one in progress. So appears they haven't released new tasks yet.

CAS @ home have tasks today. Some ICT Protein Structure Prediction(2nd Generation) v1.21 Tasks. Still waiting for new Universe @ Home Tasks though. At least on the first round I did get a badge, and going for the Rings.

A summary of the previous scientific article posted on Universe@Home was posted at the URL below. http://universeathome.pl/universe/forum_thread.php?id=27#263 I appreciate that the project developer and scientist is keeping us up to date on the work being done and the latest findings.
