Questions and problems :
Resource share not being respected by BOINC
(Message 99396)
Posted 22 Jun 2020 by Sebh007 Post: Thanks all. That all makes complete sense however frustrating it might be. I've only got one CPDN task across all machines currently and that has a deadline of 15th Feb 2021, so it's not going to compete for a long time methinks! I shall micromanage until it's done I think - it's only another 17 days or so - and then leave BOINC to it's own devices. If there's no CPDN work available, then I'm not unduly bothered, but I just don't fancy getting on the wrong side of Greta Thunberg! I might consider segregating the two projects on a machine by machine basis in the future, but then that would mean all that lovely resource going to waste on a CPDN-dedicated machine with no work. Thanks again - much appreciated. |

Resource share not being respected by BOINC

Posted 22 Jun 2020 by Sebh007 Post: I have been running BOINC for years and am currently running 7.16.7 on a variety of Windows machines. Until COVID-19, I have run CPDN exclusively, at which point I thought I should run some Rosetta to help identify a protein or similar more quickly. My resource share is set so that CPDN is supposed to get 99.90% of the resources and Rosetta should get 0.10% of the resources (at least that what is shown on the Projects tab). In the individual Project Properties windows, the Scheduling priority for CPDN is shown as -0.01 and for Rosetta as -997.20. In practice, since the end of March when I added the Rosetta project to the various machines, they have not run any CPDN at all, even though they have tasks waiting to run. On one of the machines I manually suspended all the Rosetta tasks to just make sure that any CPDN tasks waiting would actually run, and the CPDN ones do run until I re-enable all the Rosetta tasks at which point they switch to 'Waiting to run'. The Project tab reports the CPDN Work done (over years) as being 8,300,790 and the Rosetta Work done as 2,850,662 since March. It reports the Avg.work done as 49.81 for CPDN and 11,970.46 for Rosetta. Granted that the deadline for the CPDN tasks are months later than the Rosetta deadlines, but I would have thought that the weighting of the CPDN project would have overridden that? Perhaps I'm being naive. All comments most welcome. Thanks. Seb |
