Right now, we can select which projects we accept work units from, but it would be nice if we could allocate or prioritize the projects by percentage. For example, I accept work units from all projects, but I would prefer if 50% of the work units were from Help Fight Childhood Cancer and then World Community Grid can allocate the other 50% based on how it sees fit. On-the-other-hand, I might want to be able to distribute in discrete percentage units to each project, e.g. 95% to beta testing to ensure I get at least one work unit, the 1% to my next five highest priority projects; however, I would be elated with even minimal allocation flexibility.
Please consider this as a feature request. Thank you.   |

There are at least 2 other threads asking the same thing....why duplicate?

It is too bad about the duplicate threads, but it is a side effect of not looking and/or finding beforehand. Scribe found them.
----------------------------------------BOINC has four device profiles: default, school, home, work. With two computers, assigned to different profiles with different project selection in each, it is possible to dedicate one to a project and let the other run anything. I have that problem with one computer that is cranky, so it runs rice, while the other two computers can have a wider variety of different setups.

If there was prioritization option for the projects, beta wouldn't get any. It already has a higher priority than any other project.

I doubt whether that would change, since it needs to be higher to accomplish anything. Beta is run not from the project area but from a different selection area merely saying whether you want them or not. As a rule there aren't that many anyway. The ones that are released tend to get sucked up quickly.

Scribe,
When I cannot find a topic that I want information on, I ask politely for the information. I am glad you are adept at finding information in the forum; with 1900 posts, I expect you to know it a lot better than I do or want to. Up to yesterday, I just volunteered my computing resources and did my best to stay out of the forums, which is where I am headed now.  |
