MilkyWay....where is the screen saver? Why there are not screen saver on this project?

Partly because the screen saver slows down the crunching. If your cpu is using time to redraw the screen then it isn't using that time to crunch.

And why the work units are only 6 seconds? Thant`s stessfull...i dont`have enough work for my PC!

Patience, my friend. A new server is coming online in the next week or two, so this should change. Happy new year.

Oh, that`s fine! Thank you! Bye!

And the gpu ones for me are only 1 1/2 minutes long, but the new server should give us lots of units to munch on.

Now is working, i have units log 14 hours :-)

Those seem to be gpu units, not the n-body cpu units. Try turning off the gpu work option under your account and see if that is better.

Couldn't there be some screen captures so that a 'screen saver' could give people some idea of the progress that is being made? Not something that is frequent or real-time, but perhaps a screen shot at 00:00 GMT daily or one day each week so that we know something is taking place besides our computers being used.

Seems I was mistaken...here at MW BOTH kinds of units go to the cpu, not one type for the cpu only. I don't know how to fix it, sorry.

If you go into the Boinc Manager down by the clock you can see your progress and other things about Boinc.

There was a screensaver being worked on but the person working on it left. There's another n-body screensaver which I might release at some point (but I don't really like it for a variety of reasons) depending on if I ever get to fixing a few things.
