Hi, I\'m a new Boinc user and i have a question!

I was running 2 projects Climapredictiom and rosseta, after some minutes running both, climapredictiom change work status to PAUSED, rosseta still running but climapredictiom after some hours still paused. Should not the Boinc run both projects in the same time?

Some processors can run two projects at once, but they have to be designed to do so, such as those with HyperThreading capability or dual processors. Older types cannot. Instead, BOINC switches from one to the other, and that is what has happened here. After a while, BOINC will switch back to climateprediction.

The proportion of time BOINC spends on each project is determined by the resource share set in your preferences. Unless you have changed this, over time BOINC will give equal time to each.
