Hello, as a new member of Team MacNN Ubero I have a couple of questions.
I have four agents crunching: G4 733 (X), iBook 500 (X), G3 400 (X), Duron 1Ghz (ME).
All are running under the terminal/command line thingy and I am heading for about 200 units (?) a day.
Q1) Is 200 a reasonable figure
Q2) How can I improve the crunch rate
Q3) Any advice for a newbie

Cheers

I have two computers running, both under OS-X . An iBook 600 and my Power Mac 800. on my best day I did about 250 units. The best day for the iBook was 91 units and the best day for the 800 tower was 161 units. I configured both units using the Beta program that is listed in the Beta software thread. It seems to do a good job of configuring the CLI for maximum speed and ease of use. Both computers get used during the day, so the numbers reflect having the client running in the background while other things are done at the same time. (I love X) . Hope that gives you some kind of a basis. Also check out the team page for other tips.

Cheers, that gives me a good basis for comparison. I've since found that I had my Duron configured wrongly, it is now chugging along nicely, I'm now looking at about 350/day (total).

If you have plenty of memory on the Macs (at least 512MB), go to the Apple Script Editor and make a new script with this text

tell application "Terminal"
do script with command "cd /Applications/Ubero
java -Xms300m -Xmx300m -XX:NewSize=100m -XX:MaxNewSize=100m -cp Agent.jar ubero.agent.Agent -text"
end tell

I get around 115 units a day on my iMac 500 with 640 megs of RAM. ou can do better than 200 total if you use this tweak/

Or just use the config app, which has the memory tweak built in

[DAlex]

'scuse the possibly daft question but where is the config app?

Cheers

Look at the "Beta Testers needed" thread. Get the latest version of the beta (bottom of the thread).

oh, some other tweaks you can do for the PC.

shut down the ubero agent.
Uninstall the sun java.
reboot.

download these two files http://sjaffa.dyndns.org/ubero/ibm-cpt-rn20.exe http://sjaffa.dyndns.org/ubero/ibm-cpt-in20.exe
Put them both in a folder together.
run ibm-cpt-in20.exe
run install.exe
Install the engine.
Reboot.
Run ubero.

All set.

Using this Terminal command running 4 instances of Ubero on my DP800 with 1.12G RAM, I got 434 units yesterday.
