Re: "Earliest Deadline First" processing of Tasks

2; To make sure you'll not get any re-issue-work with shorter deadline, set "Computer is connected to the Internet about every N days" to 3.1 days (or higher).



Thanks, but I do not find that particular setting anywhere in the WCG version of BOINC Manager (6.2.28).

The BOINC Manager is using a slightly shorter form, either to save space or since it haven't been updated to show the same as web-preference: "Connect about every N days".

For anyone using translations in BOINC Manager, it likely also shows something different...

Re: "Earliest Deadline First" processing of Tasks

It's right there! (the one you have on 0.2000 days).

Yep... that's where I was looking, and I don't find an option called
''Computer is connected to the Internet about every N days''

Here's the 'network usage' tab in my copy of 6.2.28

Re: "Earliest Deadline First" processing of Tasks



If that's what you're going to call the FAQ now, why isn't there a link to it in the http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/listthreads?forum=3 forum and at the top of the http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=21501 thread there?

Thanks.

The forum software is being updated pretty soon, so who knows what changes/improvements we're gonna see, but thanks for your observations. And of course you are most welcome to contribute to the FAQ's [I think I initiated some 50 or 60, and kept them reasonably up to date]

There is in 2 places an FAQ http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=17033 that lists out the names of the prefs that have a different title on website and client [subject to change]. Our FAQ's are very hard to find and navigate I take from these pointy comments, which is why they have in part been ported to a wiki, with plan to replace Start Here forum complete. Help porting the rest!
