It's long standing ticked in track: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/ticket/843 about project pairing ability. " 06/19/09 11:27:18 changed by Nicolas ΒΆ a.. status changed from reopened to closed. b.. resolution set to wontfix. Do you understand the cause? It's not just about not running the same app twice. It's about exactly how much CPU cache they use and having complex rules of which apps "behave nice" with which other apps. If you run two AP instances, it slows down. But it also slows down if you use AP and another app with similarly-big cache usage. And if you run two little-RAM apps at the same time there is no slow down. It's way more complex than you make it seem it is. " Actually I don't think it's really complex. All needed is operator knowledge what app performs better paired with what another app. This knowledge can be aquired from simple experiments. But I tired to re-open this topic... _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
