(Only SETI) Meaning tasks with deadline in Sept are starting and running BEFORE tasks due today! = I am not seeing a way for me to control this??? ID: 34438 ·

No, there is no way for you to control this, and that's good as well. Just let BOINC do what it thinks is right, it'll try to run all work you have before the deadline and as of late it's pretty good at that. ID: 34441 ·

Seti seems to use a weird priority because it doesn't pay attention to its own deadlines. I'm having to stop Folding@home on my gpu just to finish up the seti project which is way overdue. Would we probably have a better chance getting an answer by posting this on the SETI@Home site? ID: 34458 ·

Last modified: 1 Sep 2010, 3:19:25 UTC Any project specific questions are always best asked at the project's forums. But running both BOINC and Folding on the same computer is highly inadvisable. Both the programs will be fighting for all the resources in your computer, especially (in this case) if you also run CUDA at Seti. ID: 34466 ·
