No CPU Usage

NetDIMES - Homepage

Feel free to help me with the project descriptions and recommending different projects to add to the list. Thanks to sno.lcn, Karbon, THF, and everyone else for everything they have suggested.

Great idea, looks like it will be easier to point people in the right direction this way. Maybe you could specificy what resources each project uses? I know folders for example will stay away from anything that uses cpu, but might lean toward dimes and red library.
 
Good idea Karbon, and sno - I'll add those pretty quick (maybe not right this minute, but pretty soon :) This bbcode stuff can get pretty crazy - especially with the tiny little editor box :p)

edit:

Added the BOINC projects listed so far.

I know dimes barely uses any CPU, but most of the other ones do, right? MJ12 could be configured not to use much, but it still likes to use more than serious FAH guys would probably like.

WOW :drool:

Great work khiloa and sno.lcn. :beer:

Karbon, I agree this thread is going to be great for recruitment...people love one-stop-shopping. ;)
 
Red Library doesn't use any cpu for me. I'm running 8 clients at the moment and they only use about 20mb ram each.

I can go ahead an do the code and you can click the quote button and pull it straight from there when I'm all finished if you want.
The way you've done it so far is good, I can add them without much work. :)
 
had a suggestion on this. How about breaking this up further into "Projects that use next to no CPU power and you can still do F@H/SETI/BOINC with" and "Projects that are CPU Intensive/You can't do F@H/SETI/BOINC with".

Good idea, maybe like where it says "BOINC Projects" put one that says "No cpu usage" or something like that.

good idea, I don't think anyone else came up with that already. :)

Oops, we must have forgotten about that. Anyway...Great idea karbon!:D

*Edit: I beat ya to it huh frank?
 
I've been out of town for the past 36 hours on a last minute trip, but I'm back now, so I'll see what I can do. :p
 
I wouldn't consider MJ-12 high cpu usage, but that is a personal opinion. It only uses cpu when archiving, and that can be set to low priority. I have it set to normal, and it usually finishes archiving in a few minutes. Even then, it only has to archive every 10-15 minutes or so when a bucket finishes.

eh, I guess it is somewhat high :beer:
