Then set your resource share to 75% to Einstein and 25% to the other project ;-)

Claggy, I've seen you be a reliable source time after time, but I think this is an error.

Resource share appears as part of "computing preferences" which in the Einstein page set says right at the top of the page "These apply to all BOINC projects in which you participate."

On the SETI version of this page, an additional line adds the observation "On computers participating in multiple projects, the most recently modified preferences will be used."

Now, on the other hand, if you are using app_info to run simultaneous tasks on a GPU, nothing tops you from running 3-fold Einstein and 1-fold SETI, but that is another matter not involving the computing preference mechanism.


As ExtraTerrestrial Apes has already pointed out, resource share is part of the Project Preferences, Not Computing Preferences,
changing selections on the Setiathome Project Preferences will have no direct effect on the Einstein Project Preferences,
(deselecting Use CPU or Use Nvidia GPU at Setiathome or only having Astropulse v505 selected will have an indirect effect of getting more Einstein work)

I can't explain how I managed to misread the question at hand, to fail to consider the fact that those commenting are on my "usually reliable" list, and to keep my typing fingers still until I got over my brain fade.

As must be obvious, I transmuted the question posed in this specific thread offshoot to the different one posed in the original thread title.

Oops.

RE: the project is

the project is test4theory of CERN, that has a very long deadline, so i have to find a way to elaborate wu from t4t and wu from einstein at the same time...:)


First of all i'd upgrade Boinc to 6.12.34 or later as Upgrade BOINC client to version >= 6.12.34 asked,

The latest development build is 6.12.43, a lot of the fixes have been just for that project:

i've try a few days ago, but the situation doesn't change (and in this version there isn't the message page...it's hide...)

If you want to keep the old style Boinc Manager, copy boincmgr.exe and boinc.dll to a safe location, and once Boinc 6.12.x is installed, copy them back, eithier over-writing the 6.12.x Boinc Manager, or giving it a slightly different name,
(i've actully got both 6.10.58 & 6.12.43 Boinc Managers on my Laptop, and just fire up whichever Manager i want to use)

So what is the Debt to Einstein? If you make a cc_config.xml file with Notepad with the following in it:


1

Then drop the file in your Boinc Data directory, (It'll be hidden, the location is in your Boinc Startup messages), now do a Read config file, you should get lines saying:

18/12/2011 15:50:37 Re-reading cc_config.xml
18/12/2011 15:50:37 Re-read config file
18/12/2011 15:50:37 log flags: file_xfer, sched_ops, task, debt_debug,

Now just copy and paste one cycle of the debt messages, one you're done that, edit your cc_config.xml and change the 1 to a 0, then do a Reread config file. (that'll turn the debt messages off again)

now it seems to work changing boinc version, but i will confirm tomorrow :)
thanks to everyone :)
