I keep work for 4-5 days. Predictor gets 1% SaH gets 99% Predictor units require less computation, right? Still I get LOOOOOADS of predictor units, right now 31, and only 1 SaH unit. |

BOINC fills the queue from whichever project is behind. It also will fill from other projects if the project with the greatest resource debt is down or out of work. This assumes that resource debts have had a chance to balance, usually 1 to 4 weeks after adding a new project. John Keck BOINCing since 2002/12/08 |

Also keep in mind that because the Predictor units need less CPU time, you'll always be downloading a lot MORE of them to fill the same size queue. The queue size is based on time, not number of WUs. So if SaH units take 3 times longer to process, then whenever you download Predictor WUs, you'll download 3 times more of them. But (as long as the SaH server has work for you) it should connect to the SaH server 99 times more often than the Predictor server. Got it? |

Yeah well if there is any reason that seti can't provide units to satisfy your low water mark, it will go to predictor to satisfy the need. |
