1) Questions and Answers : Preferences : how to adjust resource share? (Message 77050) Posted 15 days ago by julianop Post: Some time in the distant past I believe I had one central location (BOINC?) to set resource share for individual projects, but I can't seem to find that now. Am I forgetting something? More specifically, how do I adjust resource share for MWAH? In the recent past it's been hogging resources like schoolyard bully, specifically preventing WCG from doing any work. That won't cut it for me, as I want to share time between human science and cosmology. Thank you!

4) Message boards : Number crunching : Some tasks seem never-ending. (Message 76983) Posted 29 days ago by julianop Post: I'm getting a large number of never-ending work units (de_nbody_orbit_fitting_03-06-2024_v186_OCS_data_3_1709197135_xxxxx) at least five of them in the past five days. I've just rejoined MilkyWay@home after an absence from the project, and am immediately getting an alarming number of them: WU's that are estimated at a mere couple of minutes are taking over twenty four hours with increasing time remaining. I can't keep monitoring the progress every now and again to abort bad WU's, and don't want to waste processing time and energy. Is this a bad lot of WU's, or could there be something wrong with my setup? Other projects: Einstein@Home, Rosetta@Home are behaving normally; even WCU, thought WU's come down only sporadically.
5) Message boards : Number crunching : MilkyWay hogging processor time. (Message 69552) Posted 19 Feb 2020 by julianop Post: Thanks for your reply, Joseph. Umm.... I'm going to need a bit of clarification, if you'll bear with me... First, there are no errors listed at all. Milkyway is plowing ahead with great gusto, completing "0.92CPUs + 1 NVIDIA GPU" tasks in 11 minutes 30 secs. At this moment, there is a 6 CPU task running, and the aforementioned GPU task - both from Milkyway. The WCG task uses regular processor cores, so I see no reason why the regular core tasks from Milkyway should swap out to each othe revery hour; otherwise how would I get WCG to ever run ? I'm confused about setting "0.0" share. how does that result in any activity? I've been running Boinc for years, but his whole thing makes no sense to me.

(Message 69549) Posted 19 Feb 2020 by julianop Post: I have World Community Grid tasks that are passing their due date, yet MilkyWay is hogging processor time when its projects aren't due for another five days. There hasn't been a task switch for twenty four hours (set for 60 minutes) What's going on?
7) Message boards : Number crunching : Updated GPU Requirements (Currently not supporting GPU tasks) (Message 63024) Posted 16 Jan 2015 by julianop Post: My event log says: 1/16/2015 4:28:31 PM \| rosetta@home \| Requesting new tasks for AMD/ATI GPU 1/16/2015 4:28:32 PM \| \| App version needs OpenCL but GPU doesn't support it 1/16/2015 4:28:32 PM \| Milkyway@Home \| [error] App version uses non-existent ATI GPU 1/16/2015 4:28:32 PM \| Milkyway@Home \| [error] Missing coprocessor for task de_80_DR8_Rev_8_5_00004_1413455402_44869832_0; aborting So it seems my app is requesting tasks for a GPU I appear not to have? Why would that be? I actually have a Radeon 4800, is that not supported?
