I'm running BOINC Manager 4.45 and have been for a while. After some weeks, I find that seti get no time and einstein gets it all even though they have 50/50 shares. Any ideas?

Have you checked on the front page about outages? Seti has been down some times!

Else try to poke it with a stick, change your settings a bit (e.g. cache from 0.5 day to 1 day or anything else) and update your BOINC client. It has worked for me in the past when it seemed that one of the projects were stucked!

How long have you been attached to both projects.

I'm running BOINC Manager 4.45 and have been for a while. After some weeks, I find that seti get no time and einstein gets it all even though they have 50/50 shares. Any ideas?

I have been attached to both for a few weeks.

I reset the time slice from 1 hour to 30 minutes. I updated -> no effect.
I stopped and restarted BOINC -> no effect.

---

How large is your cache? Have you checked your Long Term Debt numbers?

Hmmm.... how do I do that?

---

This could be normal enough.

Depending on a combination of things, the BOINC 4.35 and later scheduler calculates Long Term Debt to decide what project is due CPU time. IF your BOINC thinks E@H is due lots of CPU then it could quite easily not download SETI work while it is working off the E@H debt.

Also, if it has E@H work downloaded and your deadlines are tight (remember E@H only has 1 weeek deadline) then the scheduler will enter 'no new work' (painc) mode and start crunching the work units with the closest deadline first; ignoring your resource share.

The resource share will be made up in the long term as SETI will then get a big chunk of CPU time to even up the total CPU time across projects.

My advise: let it go for a while and see what happens... you will prob notice that after a while, your E@H untis will be completed and you will only have S@H units until the Long Term Debt is equalised.

However, given SETIs current problems you may be waiting a while!!

I am using a small utility called BoincDv to checkout my project debts.
It's available at

You may want to try it.

All of this is on the WRONG board!!!!
