1) Message boards : BOINC Manager : My Wish List - part 3. (Message 36171)

Post:
This is being questioned and wished over and over, already for at least four years long, in all incarnations of this thread (see e.g. here) and anywhere else.

The better message is, even the devs are already talking about, see also the e-mail thread following "[boinc_dev] preferences remodel proposal".
(The worse message is, "This isn't something we're going to do anytime soon, but we may as well discuss it." (from the same e-mail thread.))

Thanks Peter... No wish will come true. :'-(

My wish list is,

Two options for "Use at most % CPU time":

Use at most _A_ % CPU time after computer has been idle for _C_ minutes.
Use at most _B_ % CPU time while computer in use.

if C is 0 then either disable B or ignore the value in B and A just take precedence.

Theses could effective replace the "While computer is in use" and "Only after computer has been idle for __ minutes" options and provides more flexibility. =]

Hope my wish come true this X'mas. =}

3) Message boards : Questions and problems : GPU and CPU mutually exclusive projects (Message 35876)

Thanks Pepo. But I am already using 6.12.6 (x64) and could not find any version higher than this. Is there a later version? Please link me to it. Thanks.

Hmmm.... hopefully this feature of "fare-share" base on both process types and projects would be out in the next release, cause we are all wasting too much precious GPU as well as CPU time due to the scheduling algo. :'(

Post:
I have join 2 projects, one uses only GPU and the other uses only CPU. I have 2 CPU core and 1 GPU.

However, the project that uses only GPU completed it computation many many times faster than the CPU and will alway have have to wait for the CPU project to finish, in order to have a "fare share" of "CPU" times.

But this isn't the case in my situation, as the GPU only should only be having fare share of GPU with another GPU project, but in my case, only one, then it should run continually, one after another and so as my CPU project.

I feel that the CPU and GPU time share (base on Resource share number) between projects should be dependence on the processor type and projects, and not only by projects.

Is that a limitation of the BOINC design or is that because I am new to BONIC?

Please help. Thanks in advance. :-P
