Beta Testing / Re: CPU% wrong for fractional ...

I wonder if <avg_ncpus>0.7</avg_ncpus> does anything besides showing on the screen.
BoincTasks shows the actual run % reported by the OS to the Boinc Client -> BoincTasks.
70 min out of 100 min = 70% 100 min out of 100 min = 100%.
0.7 = expected run time 70%.

Beta Testing / Re: CPU% wrong for fractional ...

The 0.7C was me using an app_config:

Code Select Expand

    <app_version>
        <app_name>Theory</app_name>
        <plan_class>vbox64_theory</plan_class>
        <avg_ncpus>0.7</avg_ncpus>
    </app_version>
This may seem an odd thing to do, but Theory on LHC downloads massive amounts of data, an d often the CPU is held up waiting, so I run more tasks than I have CPU threads.

If I have set 0.7C, and the times are showing say 70min out of 100min, that ought to show as 100%.

The CPU calculates these numbers. 0.7C is just an estimate and the real fraction may be something else.

But which program calculates the % from those numbers?  I can have 03:15:45 (02:46:40) 85.14% 0.7C, where the 0.7 is not taken into account.  Things like 6C are ok though.

4) You can suspend a range, click on the first one and shift click on another one.
To suspend all go to the project tab and suspend.
To suspend everything, use snooze on the icon. Or Extra -> Allow

8. The items on the bottom bar to the right of dark & tasks are usually: Abort, Suspend, Resume, Update, Suspend, and +Rule. But Ready to Report:3 is transient and when it appears the position of all those buttons re-centers. If one is aiming your mouse for Suspend or Resume and Ready to Report appears or disappears you're likely to click the wrong item. I've aborted WUs I only meant to Suspend, usually trying to shutdown before peak rates for TOU service begins. Please make them stop jumping around, maybe put Ready to Report in its own box far to the right.
4. The operation is to Suspend or Not Allow New Work for all computers not do something to a single computer. My fix now is to resort Project column to ascending and scroll to bottom.
I'm running this on Linux.

Suspend on Checkpoint is the single most important advantage of using BoincTasks.
I can't find it on 2.0. Please add it.

03:15:45 (02:46:40) 85.14
The fist number is the clock time, the second () the CPU run time.
Non of this is BoincTasks controlled.
