Hi there,

First post, and couldn't find what I was looking for in FAQ's, so:

I am chasing Einstein, but my BOINC manager has the requests to Einstein looking for GPU units. I am running unmodded BOINC 6.6.38, and whatever automatically gets downloaded to process WUs.

When I hit the Properties command in my BOINC manager, it tells me that the NV CPU work fetch priority is 0.0, and the CPU scheduling priority is -1979.13 and the CPU work fetch priority is -6987900.95. Is this backwards? As far as I know, I have no way to run GPU code for Einstein, although I do run SETI on my GPU.

Can someone enlighten me on this seeming anomaly? Thanks much.
