DC Project Recommendation

[Matt]

I want a DC project for an offline machine that I can just collect work off every couple of weeks or so and dump. I have been running ECCp, ECC2 and recently MD5CRK on this box. It's an AMD XP2000+. Any advice?

I have the same problem.
You can try OGR, RC-72, TSC, D2OL, DPAD.

Can I have some links to these please? :cool:

Here you are:

OGR and RC-72 (www.distributed.net/ )

TSC (http://www.childhooddiseases.org/)

D2OL (http://www.d2ol.com/index.html)

DPAD (http://www.stephenbrooks.org/index.html)

from the Free DC main page.

TSC is good and D2OL you can download up to 2000 WUs and then leave it crunching for several days before upping the lot.

DF runs for as long as you want ti but you must upload before the protein changes.

Lifemapper can cache 200 WUs which can keep you going for a while.

I've tried all these as I need to find offline projects.

Each has plusses.

If you have bandwith limits don't use lifemapper.
200wu's ~90 MB ~1,5 days with your processor

Is there no projects out there that can just sit and crunch for any amount of time without having to be fed work units?

DPAD is the one. You only have to send results.

Also Climate Prediction:

Takes a month or three on a fast machine. ;)

Yep. DPAD fulfills that criterion. It generates its own WUs randomly, so there's no need to download anything. After a month or so you can just whack the results onto a floppy and submit them.
