Hi. You can have as many devices as you want attached onto a single account. As for the device profiles, it's your call. You can have half of the computers with one profile running only HCC and the other half with another profile running GFAM or just a single profile for all computers running whichever projects you want.

If you have not already done so, step 1 is to confirm that running BOINC/WCG is OK with management.

Visit Help and Start Here and search for Security, for that is the worry part. As testimonial, WCG has several hundred partners , some really big institutions, [which like not to be named], and IBM themselves who've got tens of thousands installs... pushed out to the suitable devices on their intranet.

Electricity use goes up by the difference of when the device has to be on anyhow and the utilization of the spare cycles. As I understand from the techs at IBM, it's strictly 9 to 5 organized and when you look at their statistics, you can actually see a considerable dip when the weekend comes. Of course, machines left on on purpose will continue to compute on BOINC if they are scheduled to do so, for instance laptops taken home and powered up [and then the power is not the owners' cost ;>]

There is actually studying on something that will allow BOINCing devices to remain in a lower power consumption states [that devices of the last years have] and still compute, but of course, in a lower power state there will be less computing. Contributing is the idea though, every little bit helps :D

Hello UncleSocial!
As gomeyer suggests, please see the BOINC Mass Install Document for instructions on how to put World Community Grid on multiple computers.
