(moderation:
I am currently running two projects, einstein@home and proteinpredictor. I am also using the BOINC 4.35 for mac. When i to in the boinc mananger, the projects will switch, who is working. Sometimes einstein will be working, and protein will paused, and the other times vice versa. Is this normal? is their a way to run both at once?
I also noticed this with the earler versions of the boinc software for mac.

(edit)
also, for my protein project, its says it is 5400% completed....
Is this normal?
Yes, this is normal

Yes, this is normal operation. It does this to try and meet your defined resource share per project. If one of your projects has a higher resource share, that project will process longer before switching.
As for the 5400%, that is an odd one. Predictor is known for going over, but 5400% is quite a bit higher than I've ever seen it. What happens when you reboot your machine?
Yes, it is still there when i

Yes, it is still there when i restart. I notced in the predictor message board that everyone on mac is having this problem, and it goes from 0% to 84% to this really high number, in about 5 minutes.
I guess it is just a bug they will have to fix.
But, again, is their any way to run both, or would it just bog the system down too much?

Are you asking if there is a way to run them both at the same time? If so, unless you have a dual processor or hyperthreaded machine, no. They only run by switching projects as you have noticed.
