Tasks continually suspend and resume #10

Closed openly-retro closed 11 years ago

Hi all. Using Nativeboinc 7.0.36 on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I have attached the Asteroids@home project to my client.

I have noticed that the client behaves strangely if in local preferences, "Use at most: X % CPU Time" is less than "Use at most: X % of the processors."

I have it set to use at most 90% of the processors, and use at most 90% of the cpu time. In this configuration, the client continually suspends and resumes task.

I wonder if this is a bug or an unintended feature. Thanks in advance for your time.

This is normal behaviour (you can observe this same behaviour on desktop Boinc client). Boinc simply discretizes CPU usage in time (by suspending/resuming tasks periodically).

It's little bit annoying. Are any possibilities to disable warning 'Resumed' / ,Suspended'?

Currently, I recommend to attach one of non-computation project (for example WUProp@Home). Suspend info notification is displayed when all tasks will be suspended.
