I'm not totally convinced that this is the right place, but your decent people and I don't really anticpate a flaming. I'm am currently running the three main BOINC projects, Seti, Climate Prediction (cp.net) & LHC, all 1/3 each. As we all know, LHC is sporadic at best and disappearing for a while shortly. Here's a scenario. My machine will be happily crunching away on a cp.net unit for an hour, then it will try to connect to LHC and fail, then switch to SETI and if the SETI unit finishes before the hour is over, it will switch back to my cp.net unit (which won't be finishing any time soon). This can also happen with LHC units, some of which were processed in a few minutes. I have also seen it attempt to switch to LHC, fail due to no work, and then continue with cp.net. Now, come on, I like the cp.net guys as much as the next but it does seem to be dominating my cpu. Is this just the way it goes or what. Slainte, David |

It should balance itself out. ie. Later when your not watching it would run seti for 2 time periods instead of one. BOINC WIKI BOINCing since 2002/12/8 |
