I have 2 projects both with a value of 100 (50%). But the SETI@Home project grabs most of the time leaving the climateprediction.net project most time idle. I have a dual core CPU with BOINC general preferences using both cores for 100%.

I\'m running BOINC on Ubuntu Linux 6.10 (64 Bit; 2 GB RAM) and also upgrading to the latest BOINC 5.8.17 didn\'t help.

Perhaps this will help your understanding.

This Earliest Deadline First sounds bad as it seems that one project with smaller work units grab all CPU power from other projects. How can I change this? I would like to split both projects on both CPUs just like my setting says (2 times 50%). ?

Resource share is a long term thing, months not days.
If you run multiple projects, then you need to be patient.

I run both Seti and CPDN with a (until recently) dual CPU system. I had to set my resource share seti=50 and CPDN=150 and selected \"no new tasks\" for CPDN. It will almost always run the CPDN wu on 1 cpu and seti wu will share the other CPU.
