Hello to all...

For some reason Boinc seems to be ignoring S@H. My "Host Total" hasn't changed in 15 days, and my "Host Average" continues to decline. I tried re-setting the project to no avail. Any ideas?

Thank you, in advance...

My first guess is that you have a lot of debt built up for Rosetta or Predictor (or both). When this happens, work can be halted on other projects until this debt is repaid.

He has a lot of units over at Rosetta with June 22 deadlines.

I see - it's because all of my Rosetta work has due dates June 22-25, and S@H due dates are July 7-8.

Thank you.

Thank you.

When the Rosetta work is done, SETI will be "owed time" and BOINC will ignore Rosetta until the debt is paid back.

Pretty clever, actually. You don't lose Rosetta credit for missing deadlines, but your resource share between projects is honored.
