I am only running two projects, and i just noticed that the boinc client is not switching between tasks. It picked up the beta project and wont let go. I have it set to default of 60 minutes. Would lunatics app be causing this? |

This particular option has caused much confusion over the years... It does not mean "switch tasks every xx minutes", but has some effect when processing multiple projects (say SETI & Einstein), where, provided a task from project A is not running in high priority mode it will be replaced by a task from project B when project A tasks have been running for xx minutes. Well that's the theory, but in practice it doesn't work quite as well as it should (in my experience) Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |
