Getting ECCp and dnet to play nice together

[Athlex]

I'm interested in running both ECCp and dnet on one of my Windows 2000 machines, but it looks like the two aren't splitting the CPU 50/50. Instead, ECCp is taking all the CPU time. Is there any way I can get the two to split the time?

If you were using linux, I'd say try using nice to lower the priority of ECCp. I don't know how (or if) you can manually lower the priority of a process in Win2k.

So I guess all this amounts to is a bump.

I don't know if it's the same with the dnet client... But when I run SETI and ECCp together... If I set the ECCp priority to low, they both run 50/50, but if I set it to medium ECCp gets 100%.

To manually force the priority in Win2K. Go into the task manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del) and right click on the process. You will see a set priority option in the popup menu.

That's the weird thing. Both are set to low priority by default. Even bumping the dnet client to "normal" had no effect on ECCp's processor usage even though the scheduler should have given everything to dnet.
Any more ideas?

The dnet client has its own set of priorities which can be set in the config somewhere. Play around with those until it plays nice with the eccp client.

Thanks for the help- setting the dnet client to priority "4" split the CPU 50/50
