Dear forum members,

have a look at the following message dump:

Can it be that the main server is currently out of work units?

How can I set resource assignment ratios different than 50:50, if I have two projects running? I would like to participate in another BOINC project, however with climateprediction.net at only 50%, I'm afraid it won't get through the work unit before the deadline...

Thank you for your time,
F. Student

Hello Florian,
What machine are you running? On mine (Athlon XP 2200+, WinXP) it took ~900h CPU-time to crunch one WU. Or ~4 month real time.

But to change your ratio, set in the <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/prefs.php?subset=project">climateprediction.net preferences</a> the 'Resource share' to something else then 100.
I've changed the values for my projects to: CPDN 40, EAH 30, SAH 20, PPAH 10. That adds up to 100%, and is easy to overview by me ;)
