Ahh, I think I know what it is, I think they load up weeks or months worth of tasks due to not having proper preferences. I'm speaking specifically about "minimum work buffer". Is 0.00 equal infinity on that? Is there a hard cap on lets say 7 days or can un-knowing people put 999999?

Not going to mess with it now, just going to leave it alone and not break it.

What is wrong with these MT units?

Or should I just abort them when I see it is gonna be long one?

Is it OK to abort those that I cannot finish by the deadline?

Now if only all of your 'clients' paid like that!!

Error loading Lua script 'astronomy_parameters.txt': [string "number_parameters: 4..."]:1: '<name>' expected near '4'
Error reading astronomy parameters from file 'astronomy_parameters.txt'

I suggest you try resetting the project. That should delete files like these from BOINC and cause it to redownload them from the project. Hope this helps.

Okay, done. I had assumed that multithreading would be a project wide setting, and hence, was looking in the wrong place.

For the curious, I wanted to get out of mt because it waste significant resources - I hate to see the Windows Idle Process "running" when I have loads of work for other projects waiting on the same machine. I dumped LHC's T4T project for the same reason.

It doesn't really 'waste' them it just uses all your cpu cores for a single unit, making it crunch faster, than if it only used a single core and took much longer. But yes it does prevent your other cores from crunching other projects too. Although unless you have a cc_config file you could still end up crunching 4 MW units and none of the other projects units.

Can some one explain in detail how to set this app-config?
Where is that file? (app_config.xml?) What is the path to the project?
Do I need set this in each project?


Thanks,
