Message 50382 - Posted: 2 Sep 2013, 11:15:56 UTC

Hello everyone,

I'm running Test4Theory project along with Seti@Home and LHC@Home with BOINC simultaneously.
Often when a T4T task is finished, BOINC won't download and start a new task automatically, so I have to suspend the two other projects which causes BOINC to download and start new work unit immediately.
Is there any way to make BOINC always autmatically download and start new T4T tasks?

Thank you.

"along with" is exactly what BOINC does if you have not changed the default project weighting [100]. If T4T had it's share and your other projects have not, then the others get their allotment at some point in time, and T4T will not get work fetched/done for a while until it becomes the project again with the highest fetch priority.

If you like T4T to always be number one, and your other projects are just a sideshow [backup to keep the CPU busy when T4T has no work], then set the resource share for T4T very high [e.g. 1000] and for the others to 1 or zero. In case of zero, work is not fetched from those projects unless the device has idle resources.

How do I set the resource share for different projects?

By going to the project specific preferences and changing the resource share.
