Prime95 (factoring/LL)
SOB - #2 on the team
F@H - I cant remember where
FAD - just one machine
LLRNET - side prime project

anyone else like to run multiple projects, or do you stay focused on one project at a time?

More than 1 boxen on more than 1 project constitutes an addiction.
Buying boxen or seeking out boxen to put a DC client on, would make you crazy in the common mans view.

I'm only running 3 projects - seti classic (still), mousetracker (useless but low cost) and folding @ home (actually useful).
I'm only 60% as ill as whilden.

hmm let's see at the moment:
Folding@home
DIMES
mousetracker

experimenting with
fad
muon

I've been pretty much in all projects ars is associated with at some point with the notable exception of BOINC.

of course that's not what makes me certifiable. what does is this propensity I have to collect stats for all these projects and put them occasionally up for public review. if this doesn't constitute insanity I don't know what does.

Cheers,
Marc

CPDN - Main thing I care about
DIMES - doesn't use any cpu time (barely)
MouseTracker - 'useless'

Used to run SETI, and SETI@BOINC.

Only contributing to a couple of projects these days;
F@H - Windows boxes and my main project
GIMPS - Mainly FreeBSD boxes, my install and forget project

Although over the years I've also contributed to; D2OL, DF phases 1 and 2, ECCp-109, ECC2-109, G@H, OGR24 (or it might have been OGR25, I forget) and SETI.

and I'm still a statswhore....

I kind of like to stay focused on one project and one project only at a time.

Once entirely exhausted on a project I don't look back. Basically something else has to come around and really spark my interest to change.

I believe this is the ultimate illness where one project can consume you entirely.

Hmm, have crunched seti for 3 different teams and CPDN for a 4th last month, so...

Anyway, past projects in falling order: SETI@home "classic", Genome@home, UD "think", Folding@home, CPDN "classic", Distributed Folding.

Current projects, various combinations of: CPDN/BOINC, Einstein@home, Folding@home/BOINC, LHC@home, Predictor@home, SETI@home/BOINC.

In my most active period, I never ran more than two projects at a time.

There was turnover, however, in terms of which two it was.

I think I had FAH as main, with a bottomhugger of rc5 and one bottomhugger of manual ecm tests (when fah was unstable and I lacked FAH wu). That was on the home machine, did Find a drug at work, and ogr at the university.

Now I focus on one project at a time, was FAH, which I got to 100000 points, now I have switched to rc5, goal is to reach 1M wus, currently 35K or so Wink

So : you are not ill. I found after a time though that with only 5 cpus, you have to focus to gain ranks fast. Yes I am a stats whore Wink

Any particular reason why you move around so much? I know that I have certain teams here that I stay with as I have certain teams elsewhere that I stay with. Can't spread myself too thin so I stay with one group at a time and run their DC projects and vice-versa.

Plus everybody should know where their allegiances lie.

Jammy

EDIT >>>oooo . . .I forgot the last part of the question: Should I seek help? Uh . . .I don't think there is any kind of help available for being a stats whore. I have tried weaning myself away from my computers and can successfully stay away for three hours. i did move one of my boxes into the bedroom because it has a nice 19" flat panel that I can turn around and watch my DVDs on, lol.

Joined the BBR-forums to answer a bandwith-question from "someone" Frown and like other Anandtech-users made a seti-account there to get the spinning globe. But, instead of only crunching one wu like most of the others, decided on keeping wu-count higher than post-count.

Keeping this up in SETI@home/BOINC is mostly for testing-purposes of BOINC client, and 99% of the time is only using one account so an ocassional result for another team shouldn't really be a problem.

While my original seti-team didn't really handle the transition to v3.03 very well, when they made a CPDN/BOINC-team decided to crunch a little for them. Since uses CPDN as backup-project, it can be some time between each trickle. Wink
