I'm running both Einstein and Seti@ home, with Einstein assigned 67% of resources and Seti 33%. Sometimes I receive the following message under the Messages Tab: "Using earliest-deadline-first because computer is overcommitted". While that message is sort of self explanatory, what exactly does that mean in operational terms? Until Seti began using the new scheduler, I never received such a message. Thanking you in advance for your response.

The BOINC Wiki really is a useful tool, it should be highlighted and placed in a prominent place on the home page or made into a sticky on these forums.

Take the time to have a browse around (it may be an idea to bookmark it).

Sometimes I think we are alone in the universe, and sometimes I think we are not. In either case the idea is quite staggering.
