Would it be possible to allow you to set different sized caches for each project in preferences in a later released version of BOINC? |

Would it be possible to allow you to set different sized caches for each project in preferences in a later released version of BOINC? It is possible in the current version, using resource share. The default share for each project is 100 when you first attach. You can make this number larger or smaller as required. e.g. I currently have resource shares as follows. SETI Beta 100 SETI 50 lhcathome 33 rosetta@home 50 ralph@home 100 Leiden 20 Einstein 25 boincsimap 10 malariacontrol 50 orbit@home 100 Milkyway 50 You can also set projects to [No New Tasks] as required. |

Would it be possible to allow you to set different sized caches for each project in preferences in a later released version of BOINC? I don't think it's really necessary. Cache size is about not running out of work. As long as one of your projects is up, you will not run out of work, even if your cache is tiny. If you have a short cache, and a project is down, BOINC will simply run other projects, and the project that is down will accrue debt. When it is back, debt will be used to bring everything back to your resource share. So, one project: cache at 5 days or so. Two projects, two day cache. More than two projects, you can set it short -- less than a day. Of course, if you crunch two projects that live on the same servers and could be subject to the same outages (SETI and SETI Beta), count those as one. |
