Apologies if this isn't the right place to ask this -- I didn't see POEM@Home as having a dedicated forum.

I run BOINC on my desktop with ten projects -- ABC@Home, Rosetta@Home, POEM@Home, climateprediction.net, Docking, LHC@Home, Milkyway@Home, SETI@Home, FreeHAL@Home, and malariacontrol.net. POEM@Home, though, does something odd. Basically, if I have GPU computation enabled, POEM@Home always runs -- if I have it disabled, it never runs.

I've got an i5-3570K, so at any time I've got four tasks running, but if I have GPU computation enabled, POEM always takes two of those tasks. If I have GPU computation disabled, POEM never runs at all.

Ideally, I'd like POEM to share the available resources normally with everything else instead of always taking two slots, but as it is currently it seems my only options are to have it always running or never running. Any suggestions?

POEM seems to have the normal message board structure at http://boinc.fzk.de/poem/forum_index.php.

Ah, gotcha. Asked there, but they don't seem to know why the BOINC manager behaves this way, and they don't think they have any control over this. Any tips from this side?
