2) Message boards : Number crunching : Boinc config question (Message 61042) Posted 27 Sep 2019 by JustSomeGuy Post: So it looks like there is new work showing up finally, but my client refuses to take any. CPDN is setup with 100% resource share, and rosetta has 0. This arrangement worked well as my work dried up, but now that there is new CPDN work isn't not pulling new tasks. I've set Rosetta to not pull tasks and let is run for a while, so there are free cores now. I've removed and readded the project to my client. Restarted the computer. Still nothing from CPDN. Any thoughts on what's going on?
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Boinc config question (Message 60703) Posted 23 Jul 2019 by JustSomeGuy Post: The prioritization between projects is strange. Any one know a BOINC dev I could talk to about it? Just so I can understand how it works and see if there is any way to get what i want out of it.
4) Message boards : Number crunching : Boinc config question (Message 60700) Posted 22 Jul 2019 by JustSomeGuy Post: So I've got Rosetta at 0% and BOINC filled up the free cores with Rosetta, but left CPDN running which is what i want. It didn't get itself any queue of work, which isn't great in case of network outage. I'm happy with where it's at tho. Now if CPDN could just publish some more work so i could see that it pushes out Rosetta, I'd feel all warm and fuzzy. Thanks for the help everyone!

This doesn't seem to be happening tho. I currently have 8 jobs for CPDN locally and Rosetta's jobs keep hogging the cores. Usually there are about 20 jobs running, but if i let Rosetta run at all it takes over all cores, not just the available ones. I currently have Rosetta set to 'no new tasks' so these 8 can actually run. I'll set Rosetta to 0 and see what happens.
6) Message boards : Number crunching : Boinc config question (Message 60694) Posted 22 Jul 2019 by JustSomeGuy Post: With the lack of CPDN work recently, I wanted to setup a 2nd project that would run smaller tasks only CPDN was doing nothing. Is there a good way to do this? I've set CPDN to have 90% processing and the other at to 10%, yet routinely CPDN tasks are set aside and all tasks (32 cores) are the side app.
7) Questions and Answers : Getting started : It's pulsating (Message 60194) Posted 22 May 2019 by JustSomeGuy Post: I think that was it. I changed to 70% CPUs and 100% time and it's very steady at 80% overall usage. Thanks again.

9) Questions and Answers : Getting started : It's pulsating (Message 60189) Posted 22 May 2019 by JustSomeGuy Post: No seriously, it is. Processor usage jumps up and down about 40%-60% on about a 2 second cycle. There is nothing else running on this machine. My main concern is that the fans are responsive to load, so the fans keep spinning up and down on the same cycle. I'm worried this will prematurely wear out the fans and it's annoying to listen to. In this screen shot I have max processor usage at 40%, this keeps the load low enough that the fans don't spin up often. But I'd prefer to run at like 90%. I'm not sure if these jobs read the HD a lot, but the HD is a Raid1 with 2x 7200 dives. I can't imagine this is caused by reads. Anything I can do to settle the pluses down?

12) Questions and Answers : Getting started : Only one task (Message 60173) Posted 20 May 2019 by JustSomeGuy Post: Just checked and a dozen jobs are queued now. Weird, thanks.
13) Questions and Answers : Getting started : Only one task (Message 60172) Posted 20 May 2019 by JustSomeGuy Post: The processors are 2.6 Ghz and it's currently predicting 14d to finish. That sound about right? I'll keep an eye on it and see if more tasks show up later.
14) Questions and Answers : Getting started : Only one task (Message 60170) Posted 20 May 2019 by JustSomeGuy Post: I just setup a new account and have everything setup on a sever with 32 logical cores. When I added this project I only got one task which is running supper slow, using almost no resources. I'd think this machine could handle several tasks at once. As a test I added LHC@home it immediately pulled about 100 tasks. Most of which are pending download but at least 3 have already started running. Is there something I'm missing? The project stats page says there's 13K jobs ready to send.
