1) Questions and Answers : Getting started : No new tasks despite serverr showing some available (Message 57458) Posted 10 Dec 2017 by Shawn85206 Post: Recently I started tweaking settings to try and allocate the project more CPU and GPU time, don't want Collatz Conjecture and Prime Grid hogging everything. I went from 16% to just over 38%, more resources than any of the other five projects are allocated...but I'm not getting ANY work units despite the server showing 27 available. I have my system set to grab a weeks worth of work, this worked fine in the past, but now nothing is happening. Is there some secret setting I am unaware of?
2) Questions and Answers : Getting started : Very long deadline dates? (Message 57419) Posted 1 Dec 2017 by Shawn85206 Post: I participate in eighth different BOINC projects. I was looking at the deadline dates for the four Climate Prediction units sitting on my laptop...mid November...2018??? Now I'll admit that I have not sat and watched, but overall my laptop seems to give work units with the closest due dates priority. Are these data sets really going to sit here until, the end of the first week of NEXT November? Is there any compelling reason that the due dates are so far out in the future? Again, my understanding of how BOINC prioritizes data sets may be flawed, so am anxious for some explanation.
