I just installed the WCG on both of my systems. I had been part of the UD project to map cancer proteins against possible treatments a few years ago. I noticed a problem while running both WCG (or UD) on a system with SETI@home. When SETI@home is running it gets 98% of CPU clock cycles with WCG getting about 2%.
A way needs to be found to adjust the task priorities so both get equal amounts of CPU clock cycles. This should not be hard since both are triggered by the CPU’s idle function. Perhaps WCG should work jointly with SETI@home on a solution. |

Perhaps WCG should work jointly with SETI@home on a solution. This is a problem with SETI running at a higher priority than our program. This has already been discussed.
