(moderation:
Boinic and or Einstein , often do not choose to run the workunit with the nearest completion date. I often have workunits which I don't finish, because the system has chosen to work on other units.
Is this normal or a bug? I am using Mac OSX 10.3.7 boinc 4.19 with Einstein 4.78.

Yes it is normal if you take part in multiple projects.
Wen switching project, BOINC chouses to work on the project that have gotten the lest amount of processing time according to your settings.
Then you're really interested in a subject, there is no way to avoid it. You have to read the Manual.

At the time I was only running Einstein.
I had WU ending the 3 , 5 and 6th. Eintein chose to run the one ending 6th.
The WU it did not run were already validated by 3 in the quadrum, so maybe it decides to run the others because they are more , "urgent"?
I only started to run Seti after the message I posted, I am trying out the G4 7450 processor optimized Seti with vector unit FFT code. Until there is an optimised Einstein code it may be more efficient to run Seti on my Mac and Einstein on my PC.
Not a problem to me if it is OK with you though.

If the ones with deadlines on the 3rd and 5th were downloaded after the one with the deadline on the 6th started crunching, this is currently normal behavour.
