Title: Tasks count for FreeHAL
Post by: jjwhalen on September 28, 2010, 07:25:36 PM
I recently attached FreeHAL (groan), & yes I know that project does things a bit strangely.  And I've reviewed past forum postings with keyword "FreeHAL".  But do we know why, with a task in progress on each host, on the Projects tab the Tasks count remains at "0/0" and the Time Left at "-/-"?  Something to do with the use/resource value being <1CPU?

FreeHAL, if it tells BOINC correctly ;D. Is only a memory application, so it uses the computers memory, instead of performing calculations. So it doesn't belong in the tasks count.
But being FreeHALL they may tag there WU incorrectly and some WU may actually load the CPU.
