Please, help to balance CPU MB + ATI GPU MW on host under BOINC 6.6.36
Raistmer:
Actually I don't want to touch ncpus.
What I need is to run both projects simultaneously.
changing ncpus value will allow to run more than 4 tasks at once, yes, but it could be 8 SETI only tasks or complete bunch of 24 MW tasks... ncpus option can't govern what project will use all these virtual CPUs (this was main problem of running my first "teamed" apps w/o cuda plan...).
Currently, I reached stable execution for both projects, but only because BOINC can't start more than 24 MW tasks at once (no more tasks in queue).
Surely it's suboptimal state.

I just checked my STD and it is up to 64.93 currently.
I also use a 0.1 and 3 for network settings.

But do you have sometimes situation when no MW tasks active (running) at all ?
With MW share lowe than SETI one i'm afraid to get GPU idle. DO you have idle GPU time to time with your config?

Using for example ncpus=6 with avg-max-cpus=1.50 or 1.51 for seti you force boinc to run only 4 seti tasks (4*1.50=6, 4*1.51=6.04) while really using 4 cores of its supposedly 6 available. Experimenting with MW avg-max-cpus I think you can accomplish the desired effect.
Raistmer:
Ok, will try , looks reasonable... Thanks!

Hm... after more thinking:
What will prevent MW from taking whole CPUs (beside that limit of 24 tasks available)?
