Intel Darwin machines are a problem though since we only have one in the lab and not too many out there.


There are tons of Mactels out there, but there's a reason for that.
First, getting credits with an Intel Mac was a bit of a lottery. Lots of invalid results for Mactel crunchers, project staff didn't really know the cause and suggested (Andre?) to stop crunching temporarily with an Intel Mac until the new version is released and this problem is sorted out. BUT: App version is still 5.02, so how can you expect getting lots of Macs? Maybe the problem IS solved, but most people don't read the forums and don't know about it. Second, charmm still shows excessive disk writes every second. This IS a also a problem for many crunchers.

I can't say that the Intel Macs gets invalid results. I have 6 Intel Macs for the last 3 days on Docking and after ca. 1000 Workunits i have no invalid result. I would say the problems are solved.

Hmmm, that is certainly interesting. There are currently 345 workunits in the shared memory reserved for Intel macs. I will investigate why you don't get any and get back to you. Might have something to do with the new host identification string that the new boinc client returns to the server and thus messing up our HR rules.

Thanks for letting us know.

Perhaps this could be the solution of my "problem"

One Wu last ca. 1 hour 40 Minutes and 4 WUs each Computer runs togehter. That would be each computer need 58 WUs a day. In my preferences i fetch work for 3 days. This would be 174 WU per computer. My 6 computers try to get yesterday 1044 WUs. This first 2 get each about 170 WUs and the others about 40 ... 20 and so on.
Perhaps this could be the solution

Hi,

yesterday I have added 6 Intel Macs (MacPro 2x Dual Core 3 GHz).

But there is not enough work for all my 6 Macs.
