1) Message boards : Questions and problems : Custom computer with ATI & Nvidia (Message 35200) Posted 12 Oct 2010 by Matt Lowe Post: I am playing around with the idea of building a custom system with a twist -- installing both nvidia and ati video cards... Would BOINC recognize and use both cards??
2) Message boards : Questions and problems : BOINC wont download other project work unless suspending seti (Message 26327) Posted 29 Jul 2009 by Matt Lowe Post: Ok did some experimenting with my BOINC setup last night and reset projects that were not getting work, that didnt help, tried suspending different projects including SETI didnt help me until I suspended CPDN (4 wu's due dates all in June 2010). I got work for all of my projects except Milky Way. Hopefully what ever is jammed up in v6.6.36 scheduling gets corrected soon because I don't want to have to pay attention to how much work I have downloaded and suspend CPDN to get more....
3) Message boards : Server programs : Won't finish in time ... (Message 26267) Posted 26 Jul 2009 by Matt Lowe Post: Here is an idea to tweak the current debt setup -- cap the long term debt to a amount, based on estimated completion times, cache settings, system benchmarks and on the projects being run, and have it recalculate the cap whenever a project is added/deleted. This could possibly prevent the cache setting problems that occur when projects cant maintain a steady flow of work for whatever reason. This would also have the benefit of allowing people to add long term workunit project like AQUA or CPDN without messing up work for other projects....
4) Message boards : Questions and problems : BOINC wont download other project work unless suspending seti (Message 26188) Posted 21 Jul 2009 by Matt Lowe Post: Unfortunately my power went out when I was typing this and I thought it was lost... What I didnt get included was that I am getting this on a Mac Pro (2x 2.66Ghx Dual Core Xeon) running v 6.6.36. Plus Seti is one of the projects not getting work -- it doesnt have any work. So the fix for windows doesnt help me..... The post I did after reboot also includes the additional information (as I was searching the threads trying to find my post)... I am running 2 long term projects (Aqua and CPDN). It now appears I am getting a long term debt buildup that is causing BOINC to ignore the cache settings preventing any short term work from being downloaded until the cache empties of these long duration workunits.... Thanks anyway

I am experiencing a similar lack of short term work. Mon Jul 20 17:53:41 2009 Milkyway@home Sending scheduler request: To fetch work.

6) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Boinc 6.6.36 scheduling strangely (Message 26138) Posted 20 Jul 2009 by Matt Lowe Post: I am in a similar situation -- I had a 40+ wu before the weekend covering 6 projects and now all I have left is AQUA and CPDN. The remaining 6 workunits (2 AQUA and 4 CPDN) all have expirations of Oct 2009 and later. I am running Ver 6.6.36 on Mac Pro (2X 2.66 Dual Core Xeon) which is up 24/7. It looks like to me that the scheduler is giving too much weight to completing long term work units in the short term which is not allowing shorter wu's to run.
