1) Questions and Answers : Getting started : CPDN in workplace (Message 44280) Posted 1 Jun 2012 by old_user679773 Post: Ah, yes. Same account for all our machines. That would do it. Thank you. (OT): What is the difference between the BOINC and PBOINC screensavers? I know the screensavers are frowned on by informed BOINCers, but I'm talking about installing for users who know nothing about this, so there is an educational aspect. Thanks again Tom
2) Questions and Answers : Getting started : Message `No work available for applications you have selected` (Message 44278) Posted 1 Jun 2012 by old_user679773 Post: Multiple copies of HadAM3/HadAM3P step on each other, slowing all involved. Is this still true? If so, how to I configure a client to select a different model for each processor/core? Thanks Tom
3) Questions and Answers : Getting started : CPDN in workplace (Message 44276) Posted 1 Jun 2012 by old_user679773 Post: Hello I am the ICT Manager at an organization with an environmental remit. I am investigating the feasibility of implemeting CPDN across all client machines. I have some initial questions: Our bandwidth is limited, and somewhat expensive. If we were to deploy across around 50 clients, what bandwidth utilization could we expect? Our client hardware is moderately up to date (mostly newer than three years old). Can we safely deploy CPDN without adversely affecting users' work? Are any tools available for centralized deployment? For instance, can default project/BOINC preferences be applied to teams? If this information exists elsewhere, please accept my apologies, and give me a link. Many thanks Tom
