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

What will prevent MW from taking whole CPUs (beside that limit of 24 tasks available)?

What do you mean?

I mean if MW task takes less than 1 CPU what will prevent BOINC not to run SETI tasks at all (or run less than 4 of them) and fill all remaining CPU capacity with MW tasks?
For now it wants run almost as many MW tasks it could find zero to 2 MW tasks are "ready to run", all others are running, most part in "high priority state"
What I currently need is to decrease number of MW taks running not changing number of SETI tasks running at the same time.
So, if more CPUs will be available (from BOINC point of view) it will try to run even more MW taks.
If I increas avg_cpu for MW task BOINC could decide to run less SETI tasks but still allow as many MW tasks as fin in increased ncpus to run.
I.e., I don't see how increased ncpus number can help in reducing number of running MW tasks (not sacrificing SETI)....

Well, resource share should also play a role here.

I'm not saying that this will solve your problems, just experiment with it and see if it does. My own experience with boinc tells me that boinc likes values of avg-max-cpus >=1.0000 more than <1.0000.

I see,will try then...

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?

The only time I have an idle GPU is when I am uploading work and getting new.
I am going to experiment with 700/300
