Vista ReadyBoost feature?
« on: 10 Jan 2007, 04:29:13 am »

Does Seti@home use much I/O operations/requests or whatever they're called? Or any of the other Science programs?
I ask because I'm wondering if there may be any tiny improvement using Vista ReadyBoost feature? or other new memory functions? specially if new optimised apps are compiled to make use of any of the new feaure/improvements.

Sorry for the probably silly question.

S@H 32 bit builds use at most about 80 MB of RAM, a 64 bit build should be less than double that. I can't say for sure about other projects, but I doubt any would strain memory limits on the kind of system which can run Vista. So ReadyBoost might make a small difference as BOINC switches between projects, assuming a host running many projects so preempted tasks are forced into swap space. It could also help if the system is also used for some really memory-hungry tasks like video encoding, etc.
