To start with, you need the remote_hosts.cfg file in the BOINC folder of the remote machine, and network access to that machine in general. This is one way I know that my secondary machine is locked up. The information that BOINC Manager has is a live reading of the files, I don't know of a process that would save it to another machine on shut-down. You're correct in that if the other machine isn't on, you won't be able to pull the information from it. Oh the humanity! Rational people crunching data! Ps I have the boinc view but haven't quite figured out to add the 2nd machine to it yet.įounder of BOINC team Objectivists. Or if I set this up using one of the 2 ways you mentioned when 2nd machine is on would it communicate to 1st machine so next time I checked 1st machine would my boincmgr remember the last update? They investigate diseases, study climate change, discover pulsars, and do many other types of. The BOINC app, running on your computer, downloads scientific computing jobs and runs them invisibly in the background. The only way I could set this up, I assume, is if somehow the Boincmgr of the secondary machine is somehow contained either on the boinc site or the seti site. BOINC lets you help cutting-edge science research using your computer. My attempt at doing this is probably fruitless anyway as the secondary machine is rarely on since it is not mine. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956. I've heard good things about BOINCView, which does what I described for BOINC Manager, but has additional features.īoth computers are in the same household using DSL connection. Message boards: SETIhome Science: Boinc Manager - Using with multiple computers 2022 University of California SETIhome and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETIhome volunteers. From the main computer, you'll be able to use the File> Select Computer command, enter the name of the remote computer and you should connect and be able to use BOINC manager as if you were sitting at that computer.Īnother way is to use a third party program. Some options: To use BOINC Manager, create a text file in the \\BOINC\\ folder named remote_hosts.cfg, and containing the IP addresses of the computer(s) you want to allow access to BOINC on that computer. Are both machines on the same local network?
