What, like having 4 core cpu with different projects running on each core at the same time(+gpu)
It seems to be easier to schedule properly each project
Well not exactly. What I have in mind is what I spammed a couple of message boards about: having something like a separate scheduler thread for each resource, be it CPU, GPU or any other device. Then ofc you would have to modify the manager like DLukenbill suggested, or something like having a tab for each resource, and add/remove projects to them (without necessarily attaching other resources to those projects), and set resource shares between projects using that particular resource.
I would like to have the ability to set resource shares between projects per resource (cpu / gpu ... ).
I agree. It would be nice to have a "resources" tab under preferences which would let me set the resource share for the projects. An option to enter/display them as a percentage would be nice also.
Are these ideas and requests being forwarded to the BOINC Manager developers, or is it a local wish list?
My fear is, that it's more a local kind. And even if it wasn't, I don't think those developers would even consider them. Too many things to modify and fix. Too much work. However it might prove useful to have such a list, one never knows when someone will decide to do things right.
