1) Message boards : Server programs : BOINC scheduling feature I'd like to see (Message 41489) Posted 6 Dec 2011 by rhumbliner Post: to solve the "project priority" problem, i wrote a simple script to monitor the boinc process and insure that when one project runs out of work, the next lower project will start accepting work. for example, if you identify 4 projects that are attached, you can define their priority as such: Priority 1 : SETI Priority 2 : Einstein Priority 3 : Climate Prediction Priority 4 : Milky Way if you want only one project at a time active, then seti will occupy all of your cpu cycles until it runs out of work, at which time einstein will be told to start accepting work. if einstein has no work then climate will be told to accept work, and so on. you may specify that two or three, etc, projects should be kept active although i see little point in that. when a higher level project sees work available it begins working on it and the lowest level project is told to stop accepting work which allows it to finish it's current task. anyone interested in using it can contact me directly.
