So if your preferences are set to 100 for each projects you'll have 50% of your CPU time for project 1 and 2. ID: 36797 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

If i have only one rosetta project going on (i have amd 2700+ prosessor) and i set BOINC to use 100% for crunch....well if i decide to add another project...is my prosessor using then 50% to rosetta and 50% to that other project?.....i mean is it good thing to spread prosessors calculation power?... sorry, one stupid guy from finland asking stupid questions :D :D If the ressource share of both projects is equal, every project gets 50% of your crunching time. BUT: Your CPU load will be always at 100%. Boinc crunches project A for 1 hour (depending on your settings) then project B for one hour then again project A and so on. On a single CPU System there's only one project active at a given time. Boinc "switches" between the projects... ID: 36798 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
