Hi All,

I currently run 2 projects from within Boinc, Collatz & MW@H. The issue I seem to have is that all MW@H projects are "Running, High Priority" yet all my preferences are identical on both projects. So it means that all the MW@H WU are being processed before the Collatz WU even when the Collatz WU has a closer deadline.
I am rather a noob in this area and would be grateful if anyone with the knowledge\ experience could help.

Cheers
 
Just FYI, I have noticed the same thing on my P4 rig's. It has not happened on my E6550 though. This started happening just a few days ago.

Ed: just adding clarifications that it has only happened with mwh and I noticed it right before upgrading the P4's to v7, so does not appear to be related to boinc version.

My family's PC is running Rosetta with all work units on high priority, no idea if that's been the case since I installed BOINC or not. It only crunches Rosetta though so it's not a problem in that case. My PC seems unaffected, nothing is on high priority.
 
Took your advice PhilthyPhil and returned to 6.12.34, however I am now getting only 1 WU per day if I am lucky :confused: I will leave it a couple of days and see if it improves. If not then I may ditch it as 1 WU is not worth doing as it only takes 2min!!!

Does anyone else have this current issue?
 
Odd. Can you post the message you get in BOINC manager? Might also be worth checking that you're sending back valid results, as invalid tasks will impact on the amount of work you receive.
 
Ive just taken this from the Event Log in Boinc:

I have also noticed that if I suspend Collatz then I will get approx 10 WU!!! It is all totally bizarre:confused:
