Hi, sorry to start a new thread but the existing one seemed to be closed. I really would like to see better scheduling preferences for BOINC Manager. Many people have different electricity costs based on the time of day, some locations get cheap overnight electricity when there is a surplus, or in my case I have a solar array that provides significant electricity savings/carbon reduction in day time.

Ideally the CPU & GPU would be able to be set on a schedule based on the number of cores, so for me at night I want 1 CPU core and no GPUs, in the morning and evening all CPU cores, and in the daytime (10-2) all CPU cores and all GPUs. Running 24/7 at full tilt would cost me ~ £500 per year and is a drain on natural resources. If we could have scheduling I could probably reduce that by at least a factor of 4 (overnight power consumption would move from ~500W to ~100W), which for me = affordable/green.

If I had the brains, I would do it myself, but I dont, thats life!

The answer I gave in the old thread, and in the one from yesterday hasn't miraculously changed. It's on the developers their to do list with no timetable for completion (under Custom prefs: summary).

Is it possible to add a "search button" on this forum?
