... no real re-write with re-design ...Guess who was bemoaning that last week. https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=85717&postid=2070907#2070907 |

You probably pushed up the priority of the other projects by being locked into working on TN-Grid for so long by deadline pressure. It will return to normal gradually, but over a period of several days. If I had to edit a setting to make it work then it's a bug if that setting is by default and not working as devs intended then it's a BUG. Does that stand for 10 days of extra work? If so then changing it from the BOINC options doesn't work. I've tried. 1 day, 10 days, nothing. It's not just TN-Grid. WCG is the same way. Just now I have it set to get more work for WCG. And as soon as the other projects are done... All I'll get is WCG and nothing else. I've done this twice already. Never had this problem until I updated BOINC. For years... Ever since BOINC came out I had 20 projects and all 20 projects were "waiting to run". Now 1 project is "waiting to run" when WGC or TN-Grid is added. 10 days or 1. Does not matter. I'm not changing any settings. I here to report a bug. The point is if I had to change settings every time I updated BOINC then why? That's when I notice problems. P.S. Note: I had no work at all "waiting to run". So I added Milky Way only for GPU work. And all it did is run 1 of my 2 GPUs installed. Adding another project like Moo Wrapper into it and Milky Way started on the second GPU just fine???😲 And only after I added another GPU project. |

If you reduce your work cache size, you will never have tasks going into EDF mode and pre-empting other projects. Then the client can work as it is supposed to and obey project resource shares. Also the <rec_half_life_days>X</rec_half_life_days> value is a legacy from cpu only project days and doesn't compensate for gpu work. |
