When there are no Ralph work units, I'd like to run all available processors for Rosetta. Is this kind of behavior I described even possible with BOINC? ID: 58018 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Perhaps in preferences you could set your resource share for Rosetta to 1 and leave that for Ralph at 100. ID: 58020 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Last modified: 19 Dec 2008, 3:09:17 UTC I currently set Ralph to "100" and Rosetta as "1". of my 8 cpus, 4 are being used by Ralph, and one is working on Rosetta. I'm not sure what the deal with the other 3 processors is. BOINC is requested zero seconds of work whenever I try to "update" the project. Ralph won't download any more WU because there aren't any left on the server for now, but I don't understand why Rosetta isn't requesting any more work. if I set it to 50/50, on 8 cpus, ralph and rosetta will not get any more than 4 cpus each even if the other project has no WUs available.

How long has this been going on? Which BOINC version are you running? How many days of work are you asking BOINC to keep on hand? Are these the only two projects you are attached to? I see a large pile of tasks "aborted by user". Was that due to resetting the project? Rosetta Moderator: Mod.Sense ID: 58026 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Was that due to resetting the project? running BOINC 6.4.5, latest as of today. it looks like the resource share is the maximum quota. the tasks were aborted to put ralph WUs on priority, which have very short deadlines.
