Running BOINC 6.10.58 (x64) running Climateprediction & World Community Grid (equal priority).

As a process finishes BOINC preferences are set to fetch CPU & GPU, yet for Climateprediction it only looks to fetch GPU, unless I suspend World Community Grid.

World Community Grid fetch works fine, no need to suspend Climateprediction, BOINC automatically look for both!

Anyone no why, means I have to keep checking each machine I have running otherwise all I end up with is World Community Grid, when I want both!

Many thanks for any help.

Just leave it alone. Most likely CPDN has used more than its share of CPU time and Boinc is just trying to repay the excess. Boinc keeps track of how much CPU time each project uses in the form of long term debt. By suspending WCG and forcing a CPDN download you are increasing the projects debt and not allowing Boinc to balance the books.

AFAIK, neither project makes use of the GPU. Boinc is aware that you have a GPU with minimum requirement for crunching so it does periodic GPU work fetch request to find out if the projects has added a compatible app. This can be ignored.
