    I try to think of FreeHAL like this: If I am not getting any work, then no one else is. No harm, no foul. Any tasks that I get, I am pleasantly surprised. Any credits that show up in my stats are pure upside.

    It has been inconsistent for me too.

    Good advice. Outlook officially changed.

    It was pretty nice for a few days though...consistent work all the way.

    Well I finally got some myself.

    I have set the system to deal with 2 cores and not much for cpu usage. I run too much other projects to give up a full core for processing it. I do not mind the low credits for it.

    I wonder how much it really is going to give me compared to what use to be?

    The 2 core option is nice. Now I can run 2 low cpu tasks for FreeHAL, and the WUProp@Home one as well. I have one more core available for the low CPU usage projects on my 4 core desktop, which is the only one now running BOINC. When I get my old AMD 64 laptop back from a loan out, I may start using it again for BOINC crunching.

    With the recent FreeHAL changes, you can actually run a CI WU on the same core as a WU from another project. At times, I'll run 4 HAL CI WUs and 4 Einstein WUs on a 4 core (2 hyper-threaded physical CPUs) box at the same time. Granted, the HAL and Einstein WUs split each processor time 50/50 which slows down the completion of Einstein WUs, but the HAL WUs are unaffected and still complete in 1hr (just like a HAL CI WU that uses 100% of the CPU). That allows me to keep crunching another project on all cores while taking advantage of the excellent FreeHAL CI credits.

    Re: FreeHAL: There are tasks available again

    Looks like Freehal may be down for the count. I haven't been able to send or receive wu's for many days now and have 4 that are now expired. The website says they are up and running but I have big doubts.
    From the site:

    Donations needed per month 90 €
    Money in the project's account (July 2011) 0 €

    RETIRED. NO JOB. NO MONEY. NO WORRIES!

    I think in this case the cart is before the horse. Kinda hard to get people to donate to a project that doesn't stay up! If Tobias gets his project in order and keeps it stable then the donations might pick up.
