Resource Share

[STMahlberg]

I was reading about the Resource Share within BOINC and so I did some fiddling with my settings shown below. (Sorry about the formatting)

Project Resource Share Sum of Total Allocation %
DNETC 25 655 3.82%
Edges 10 655 1.53%
Einstein 25 655 3.82%
lhcathome 100 655 15.27%
Magnetism 100 655 15.27%
Milkway 100 655 15.27%
Orbit 100 655 15.27%
Seti 25 655 3.82%
Spinhedge 25 655 3.82%
uFluids 100 655 15.27%
Cosmology 25 655 3.82%
WUProp 10 655 1.53%
Freehal 10 655 1.53%

100.00%


My issue is this, Edges in running in High Priority for whatever reason and it won't release the WU's even though I have its Share set to only 1.53% and Switch Apps to every 30 minutes. Edges has been running for hours.

I take it that High Priority overrides any Resource Share & Switch Apps settings?

Correct, High Priority mode will not release the CPU to other wu nor will it allow any new downloads on that project until it reverts to "normal".

Correct, High Priority mode will not release the CPU to other wu nor will it allow any new downloads on that project until it reverts to "normal".

Also, if an app does not checkpoint, the task will run to completion.

Thank you guys. As always, your help is appreciated.
