BOINC 6.10.24 on Win7 64bit



one of the two marked tasks is running high priority although the other task has a earlyer deadline (just 22sec, but earlyer).

There are also tasks with the same deadline as the one running high priority, but much shorter pedicted (and real) runtime.

Yes, but the task waiting is 79% complete, whereas the running task(s) is at 19%; to completion 51 minutes versus 111 minutes.

There are also tasks with the same deadline as the one running high priority, but much shorter pedicted (and real) runtime.

That might depend on the resource shares of the different projects.

so it should run the task with the shorter runtime...?

that's all PrimeGrid tasks, don't know if there is some kind of resource share between the different apps.

BOINC doesn't use the deadline alone to determine if high priority mode is needed. It actually does a simulation to calculate that. And if a task with the same deadline needs less time to completion, it probably doesn't need high priority.

Okay, perhaps I misunderstood your point. But again, if a task has a shorter (predicted) runtime, it's probably not in deadline trouble.

Ah jetzt hab ich's...

Now I got it. I thought it was just the other way round...

Anyway, learnt something - case closed :)
