Boinc 5.4.9 Setup Guide w/ Many Pics

BOINC 5.4.9 Setup Guide With Pictures

Step 1.
Download the New Client 5.4.9 which can be found here http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...ncinstall1.jpg

Step 2. Select an Install type

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...ncinstall2.jpg

Step 3. You are now ready to launch Boinc and setup your account and team.

Step 4. You now need to enter the project URL so it connects to Rosetta. The URL is http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...ncinstall4.jpg

Step 5. You will now setup an account with BOINC.

Step 6. You will hit next and it will communicate with the server then finally give you the OK that it is all good.

Step 7.

Now you will run the CPU benchmarks.

Step 8. Look at your benchmarks. This particular one is with a sempron at 1.6ghz.

These are the results you can achieve with proper optimizations, look in the Rosetta forum for the Optimization Sticky. This is the exact same setup as above only with optimizations.

Now you will need to Join the XtremeSystems Team, So follow this link http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/te...php?teamid=727 and hit join team. Then you will use the login information that you created in Step 5 to login and join.

Any questions feel free to contact me on AIM: JMag034

do you have the optimizations?

yes... will more ram help that benchmark in anyway?

more ram wouldnt, but higher ram speed always will :)

Can more than one client be run on HT Pentiums? If so, do I just Put it in a second folder/location?

The Client automatically works on 2 Work units if it detects HT or 2 CPU Cores....no need to do anything but run the 1 client :D

OK Thanks

Nice guide ZX7891! :)
Maybe you can add a line, not to use the screensaver, its no use at all.

signed up a couple minutes ago and started crunchin!

nice guide :)

but I think maybe you should add in how to do the optimizing, I know it's easy but it'll help a few people out and won't take long ;)

gyus where i can find the optimizations?

thx ;)

Indeed, the SS wastes cycles. No screensaver means more Rosetta work done and more points.

Yep... Ditch the screensaver.

thx for the guide. got everything goin so now i'm crunchin for XS w00t! just out of curiousity, whats the minimum amount of RAM that u can have? I have some Pentium III's that i can only get 384MB into right now.
05-24-2006, 04:32 AM
Fr3ak

512mb is a kinda minimum, but less ram might also work fine if the pc aint used for other things.

thats all it would be doin, with a super tweaked XP install

Hmm I added several today with no trouble from the server....Just problems trying to get the decrepit old junk to not over heat.

That's what my benchie says with my 3000+ @ 2.7Ghz. Ill soon get a 3700+ @ 3Ghz with some 300Mhz TCCD behind it ;)

w-t-f ... prescott 2.4 @ 3.6 w/ 2 gigs of ram... sure its not the best thing out there but it should be better than the example's sempron 1.7ghz :slobber:

optimization please!! :P

Nope! 2.4b!! That's the prescott one with 533 fsb, not northwood. Its unbelievable I know, I first pushed the cpu up to 3.4 on a p4p800-vm because I wanted this to be for a server, then, seeing how well it overclocked, I decided to get a real board and use it for myself! So yeah, 2.4 @ 3.6 (fsb 533 --> 800) my ram is only running at 200, so its a pretty good system IMO. Getting 38 sec on superpi 1M... sure its not the last intels but hey, it works better than my 2700+ @ 200x11

Demo

I heard that Rosseta can be used as a stress tester better than Prime95, ive already downloaded the program and join xtremesystems so how do i make this program as a stress tester .. and will it also show error results like prime95 ?
