Please help! No functions to two of three projects. I don't get it.

And the third is CPDN? :-)

Yes it is.

I guess you have some info to give me? I've checked their homepage but didn't find anything unusual at a glance.

I appreciate your help.

BOINC works on a by debt basis. Time given to one project is equally given back to the other projects you are attached to.

But the big thing is, if you are crunching CPDN (especially if you are crunching two of their models as you seem to be doing), this switching between projects can take a while because the CPDN models are so darn big, so they may be running in high priority to 'get in before their deadline'. CPDN doesn't care about deadlines, but that's something that you can't teach BOINC that easily.

I'm sure that if you now set CPDN to No New Tasks (BOINC Manager->Advanced view->Projects tab-.Select CPDN->Click No new tasks (which will change to Allow new tasks), then go to the Tasks tab and suspend one of the running CPDN tasks, that you will get work for Seti and Malaria.

Then just run the one unsuspended CPDN model till the end, before you allow the next one to continue. The only problem with that might be that it's then really in Earliest deadline First mode (High priority), which will cause BOINC not to download any work.

Anyway, the advice is: if you want to run CPDN, run only CPDN, do not run it together with other projects.

Aha, thank you! Then I'll un CPDN until it get's cooler again ;-)

Thanks!
