My friend saw the notice that WCG was eliminating their UD agent and swinging everything to BOINC. So, I moved everything on my three computers to BOINC. While I was doing this, I saw that my BOINC projects vaired from computer to computer. I realized then that while WCG has a box to check to participate in all WCG projects, I needed to set each BOINC project on each computer. So, my question is, since WCG is but one registration on each computer, and since I have checked the all projects box, will I be running all WCG projects? Thanks. >>RSM |

Correct, you will be running all WCG projects (if your computer qualifies for them). BOINC and WCG have slightly different concepts of "project". BOINC treats the entire WCG and all its sub-projects as a single project. This means you can attach your BOINC clients to WCG once, and you don't need to worry about WCG projects finishing or starting - you will be sent the work automatically. |

To add to it: where WCG is telling about projects, BOINC knows it as "various applications of the WCG project". Peter |
