Please, help to balance CPU MB + ATI GPU MW on host under BOINC 6.6.36

My STD is 6.26 with my 850-SETI/150-MW settings.

That is, you did just reverse - decreased MW share? Interesting. Do you use ATI GPU app too (and only GPU app for MW) ?

arkayn:
I have a 4830 in my Quad, it averages about 33000 RAC on the GPU only. My other 2 computers do not have compatible GPU's.

I just checked my STD and it is up to 64.93 currently.

I also use a 0.1 and 3 for network settings.

Raistmer:
Well, my current config is Q9450 + HD4870. ATI GPU RAC >50K for now and still increasing.
avg_cpu=max_cpu for both projects and:
MW avg_cpu==0.01, SETI avg_cpu==0.99 (as suggested on MW forums).
Project shares are 10k for SETI and 12k for MW.
Currently BOINC runs 4 SETI tasks (it's completely OK) and 22 MW tasks (it's acceptable, but can be improved IMHO).
From these 22 tasks only 3 actually running (by opt app design). So, BOINC's time to complete estimations are completely screwed.
And what is absolutely not OK : 17 of 22 MW tasks are running in high priority mode. This will prevent additional work fetch from MW AFAIK (will it affect on work fetch for SETI ? ).

Another relevant fact about MW project - it doesn't allow to have more than 6*number of CPUs (24 in my case) tasks in cache.

Ideal case I want to reach somehow:
~24 MW tasks in cache always + few days of work for SETI.
4 SETI tasks running always + 2 to ~4-5 MW tasks (running always). Too many waiting MW tasks still increase system overhead IMHO.
And no high priority mode at all of course, for both projects.

I think current BOINC's estimations for all parameters are pretty distorted by my attempts to manually balance workload.
What should I do from current state of things?

ADDON: typical deadline for MW tasks ~4 days.
My current network settings:
0+6, work fetch enabled only for MW, SETI setted to "no new tasks" few days already.

sunu:
I would start playing with cc_config and ncpus.

4+2
ncpus -> 6
seti avg-max-cpus -> 1.51
MW avg-max-cpus -> 0.5 (?), 1(?)

4+4
ncpus ->8
seti avg-max-cpus -> 2.01
MW avg-max-cpus ->0.5 (?), 1 (?)
