Is this a common situation? I run two BOINC projects, one being SETI@Home and the other is climateprediction.net. Over the past several days it appears that the climate project has 8 items running while SETI@Home has 1. There are 4 additional SETI items of various degrees of completion with the status waiting to run. Is the climate project going to kill my SETI RAC? I do not fight fascists because I think I can win.

Given long enough, everything will balance out to the proportions you've set for your project priorities. If you've not set anything, then each project should take an equal share of the RAC for your system. However... If your machine is not on all of the time, the long tasks for Climate Prediction could go into 'high priority' to ensure they complete by their deadline date... Hope that helps explain.

CPD does these mad catch up sessions every now and then, it will then sit dormant for months. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

What I noticed was that after downloading 6 new CP tasks, nothing else would run, even though the completion date was 2017 and I had other tasks at a higher resource setting. I left it for a few days thinking it would work itself out, but it stayed the same, only the CP was running. I finally had to suspend all but one of the CP tasks to allow other tasks to run. Once the downloaded batch of CP is completed, I'm done with it for now. |

I run CPND most of the time. For some reason it is a hog, once a task has started it does not like to stop that task. Some of their tasks can be very sensitive, shut them down too many times or even just at the wrong moment and they fail on restart. I suspend all CPND tasks straight after download then only allow 1 or 2 tasks to run at a time, the third core runs SETI and the last is reserved for my GPU's. Kevin |

It's been awhile since I've had anything that could run CPDN, but I know the check pointing was a part of it- from what I remember it checked at least every 90 minutes, and didn't like to switch before that, no matter what. |
