I don't know what it would be for Server Access... That would be true on a normal computer, but from memory isn't the Shared Memory on a BOINC server the space where they keep all the results for various platforms? ID: 18609 · Reply Quote

That would be true on a normal computer, but from memory isn't the Shared Memory on a BOINC server the space where they keep all the results for various platforms? There is a process on the server that loads some work from the database into the shared memory block. The scheduler starts whenever somebody asks for work, and it reads the data from the shared memory block (instead of going to the DB directly). ID: 18611 · Reply Quote
