How do I set CPDN to run twice as long as Seti? <img src="http://seti.mundayweb.com/stats.php?userID=287&trans=off"></img><br><img src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/cpdn/stats.php?userID=73&trans=off"></img><br><img src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/seti2/stats.php?userID=1057&trans=off"></img> ID: 2410 · Reply Quote

So you need to change the proportions - eg change CPDN to 200 or SETI to 50 (it doesn't matter which). Then update in the BOINC window. There will be quite a time lag, though, as BOINC will take into account work already done for each project. ID: 2413 · Reply Quote

BOINC takes resource debt into consideration. If you've been running a single project for a while, it could take a couple weeks to balance.\ <a href="http://www.boinc.dk/index.php?page=user_statistics&project=cpdn&userid=355"><img border="0" height="80" src="http://355.cpdn.sig.boinc.dk?188"></a> ID: 2421 · Reply Quote

Thanks for the info. Actually, the behavour has changed with 4.x. The time lag should be less than a day, after it updates from the changed site. The 4.x client maintains a debt that is calculated near real time based on CPU usage and resource share. It should respond within 2 hours or so. jm7 ID: 2446 · Reply Quote

In the first 56 hours, CPDN got 24 hours which is less than the 70% expected in my case. jm7 ID: 2530 · Reply Quote

It is ratiometric/proportional but is not a percentage. To make CPDN run for two hours then SETI for one the parameter in the CPDN preferences needs to be twice as big as the same parameter in SETI. The parameter is labeled "RESOURCE SHARE" ID: 2984 · Reply Quote
