Because Seti seems to be running out of work to provide, I've added Einstien. How do one ensure that Seti always has a much higher preference? That is, does BOINC allow you to set project priorties? Thanks. ---Russ |

Sort of. You can set a resource share. If you set the resource share for SETI at 999 and the resource share of Einstein at 1, you can expect to get 999 hours of SETI for each hour of Einstein. Of course, you can set the ratios more lopsided than that if you wish. I have heard of 1000000 to 0.0001 for the resource shares. Mind if this is the case when Einstein does get work, it will run before the SETI work because in the normal weighted round robin the Einstein work will have no chance whatsoever of completing on time. In the later case the Einstein work would have to wait several years before starting if the RR scheduler were used. BOINC WIKI |
