Hi, I am having a problem with manageing the resources that Boinc assigns to the 2 projects I run. Whatever I do Boinc seems to allocate about equal or more running time to seti. I want to allocate about 70-30 to einstein. I have a gpu which is only allowed to run Einstein, this happens successfully.The E@h project only downloads a short queue but there is always at least one work unit available. The S@h project seems to want a much longer queue. The subjective view I have is that whenever I glance at the task queues is that S@h is happily running most tasks,occasionally E@h is running some. I have tweaked the resource allocation such that currently E@h is 200 and S@h is 40. I even had S@h down to 10 at one point and it seemed to make a small difference but not what you would expect with a 200-10 distribution. I am currently trying to force the allocation I want by manually suspending tasks but this is not the way to go obviously.
The initial part of the log is as below.
