NO changes have been made to my app_config file, and this has NEVER happened before... It's always run 3 MBs at once or 1 AP at once... I've NEVER seen it do this before. TL [EDIT:] Too late, the AP just finished crunching; now it's back to running 3 MBs at once. I do know that according to my app_config that the system should ONLY crunch one MB and one AP at the same time, or 1 AP and no MBs, or the 3 MBs that I'm used to seeing...

Too late, the AP just finished crunching; now it's back to running 3 MBs at once. Why? Running 2 at a time does more work per hour than running 1 at a time. Running 3 at a time does less work than 2 at a time. Grant Darwin NT ID: 1743750 ·

Have you tried suspending seti then restarting it to see if it returns to normal? OK - I have just finished Suspending, then Exiting BOINC; then, relaunching BOINC and Resumed work. Unfortunately, as per my EDIT to the last post, it finished crunching the AP before doing any of this... We'll see how it behaves, now... I have one more AP on board to monitor things with. Oh and the AP was "opencl_nvidia_100"; set at .5 cpu and .34 GPU. The MBs are set for .04 cpu and .33 GPU. TL TimeLord04 Have TARDIS, will travel... Come along K-9! Join Calm Chaos ID: 1743751 ·

OK - I just modified my app_config on Prometheus: APs now: .5 cpu and 1 GPU MBs now: .04 cpu and .5 GPU So, if I'm right, Prometheus, now, will only run APs 1 at a time, and MBs 2 at a time... I did Suspend BOINC, Exit BOINC, then made the changes to app_config, then relaunched BOINC. For good measure, I told BOINC to reread config files, then checked the Event log to make sure it did what I wanted, then I Resumed BOINC. So far, now, it is running only 2 MBs...

Right now, it is set to run 3 MBs, or 2 MBs and 1 AP; just like the 750 was set at... Should I change it too? TL TimeLord04 Have TARDIS, will travel... Come along K-9! Join Calm Chaos ID: 1743764 ·
