What's the reason for using one project per client? | |

What's the reason for using one project per client? some of the projects only have work every now and then. you don't know when and if your host dose not need work at the time that the project does have work you miss it. if one of the projects misbehave you don't have to deal with having every other project you have work for, on the host, being messed up. Have you ever been flooded with tasks from one project for some reason, the host goes into panic mode, (yes I know it not really panic mode but a lot of people still call it that) and find that there were so many task from one project that the other projects tasks were just setting there for the last 5 days in waiting to run past their deadline and when you checked at the project you find that the tasks had already been sent out to another host been returned and they got credit for it and you will not? also have you ever got upset that the project admin had a late nite at the pub and missed things up with a batch of tasks and caused you even more problem, or they sent out a new version of a app that causes boinc client to crash and you wind up having to reinstall and it takes the data directory with it? oh I could go on and on and on with what I have seen. but it comes down to this for me. set up one host for each project, don't have the money for that, or put each project on it own client. less problems for me. so for me, run it this way or pull the plug... | |

Hmm, ok... I guess if that's the way you want to run it. I've never really had any problems running multiple WUs within BOINC, the max I've got is 6 (4 CPU, 1 GPU, 1 NCI) on one host. I manage the heat on systems where that's a problem without any incident. | |

ok how about this, something like an app_config.xml for wuprop on hosts with multi-clients you can put in the project directory | |

well, it should be fun to see how fast the admin/dev can program when BOINC goes from | |

Any word on this from the Admin, I have the same Problem, I get Credit at the Projects that are running on the 2'nd Client but if I try to run a WuProp Wu on the 2'nd Client it mess's everything up. The Wu will self Abort a lot of times & if it does run to completion it gets marked Invalid which means no Credit for the Hr's run on the 2'nd Client either. | |

I authorized multiple clients on the same host.
You should replace 31416 by guirpc port. ____________ ![]() | |

The app_info.xml is for Linux. Here is a windows version that seems to be working (at least the wus is running). I change the port to 2222 for my host. I will report back after work units from client 1 and client 2 complete and validate. | |

I had to copy the wuprop.boinc-af.org directory to the 2nd client data/projects | |

It is working well for me. All 2nd clients are working and validating. Sorry I forgot to report back earlier. | |
