Question on BOINC behavior with multiple projects

Hey folks! 😛

On one PC, I have the following setup:

Rosetta 60%
Einstein 20%
LHC 20%

Now LHC has run out of work. My question is, what will happen with the shares?

Will LHC still keep 20% and waste it or will Rosetta be crunching 70% and Einstein 30% altough they still show the 60/20/20 share in the projects tab?

I already suspended LHC and clicked "no new work" but it still says 20% Do I have to log out of LHC?

Will LHC - as it doesn't do any work right now - gather something like a "dept" for the future and once WUs are available again make up for the time there weren't and thus virtually only do 100% LHC for a certain time?



I just don't know anything about BOINC in that case 😕




Thx for any help!

It will divide LHC's extra share among your other projects.

I don't know if it will give LHC extra time later (I do not think it did anything like that when I was running 33/33/33 Rosetta/Einstein/LHC).
 
The proportions of the different projects is strictly based on what WUs you have, Christian: If you have no LHC-WUs then Rosetta gets 70% and Einstein 30%.
When a LHC-WU arrives it will be 60-20-20. No compensation.
The proportions are as configured if the comp is not overcommitted.
But: The LHC-WUs have a shorter "best-before"-date and then BOINC will decide that it is better to get those done(i.e. the comp is overcommitted).
In that case the proportions will be as close as can be to 60-20-20 but may very well be 50-20-30 or so.
This answer is not based on the Wiki or documentation, but rather how BOINC really works with my setup. I have monitored the crunching times, when the com switches applications (LHC to Rosetta to Seti) and thus arrived to the above conclusion.
 
Thx Peter and vegate!

Indeed, I didn't find much in the Wiki or docs so I guess asking was best.

So I'll just leave LHC on my PC and it'll have to wait until some more WUs get distributed.
