Running CPDN and SETI on equal share. Now that SETI is back up and running again and I have actually downloaded 1 WU, the problem is that this SETI WU is not being touched at all - CPDN is being crunched continously. Surely BOINC should realise there is a SETI WU to crunch and be pre-empting every hour? I guess I need to stop and restart BOINC but surely I should not have to do this? Or will it suddenly start doing the SETI WU at some point I guess I only get 1 SETI WU at a time because Climateprediction runs for so long so BOINC thinks I have plenty to be getting on with! Perhaps I might stop doing CPDN. Any advice? |

Well I dont know WHY your machine is still running CPDN, my machines do swap between the CPDN and SETI clients fine (also running some machines 50:50) As for 1 work unit, you will download workunits based on preferences ... on my machines I have them set to 5 days to 5 days. They download just the one CPDN unit (obviously), but also download 10-15 SAH work units. I would go looking in your preferences to see what you have max/min days set to. --- Teamless? Drop by ours and have a look SETI Synergy, also checkout BOINC World/Team/Indiv Stats |

OK can someone else confirm this for me, I have gone into my general preferences and the item to set the amount of days worth of work to keep on disk has vanished - it is not there anymore!!! I did have it set before to values between 0.1 and 5 days, so even if I wanted to change that now I can't cos it doesn't exist? Just checked CPDN actually and this setting does still exist there so will change it. But strange why SETI have removed this setting? As for CPDN and SETI sharing resources I will be rebooting later so that will sort that out I guess. |

> I did have it set before to values between 0.1 and 7 days, so even if I wanted > to change that now I can't cos it doesn't exist? It still exists. There is a setting that says "Connect to network about every x days" If you set this to "2" it will try to keep between 2 and 4 days of work on your machine. |

Just running on 1 system - Win XP SP1. Reboot and restart of BOINC has CPDN and SETI pre-empting with each other ok and getting equal CPU share. And setting to 5 days now has resulted in about 15 WUs to crunch - which is nice. Thanks to all. |
