(moderation:
hi, i have now 5 wus running and i need to know how to distribute the share. The most important is the cpdn. Tell me the number that i must insert for each one (because i dont understand what means 3.1.1.1)

Are you saying that you want CPDN to get 3x the processing time (over a period of like a week... ie long term) vs your other projects?
If so, then you can set your resource shares to 42 for CPDN and 14 for the others (if I did the math right).
(Did I do it right? 3x+x+x+x+x=100; x=14)

Just about: due to rounding, your total will be 98. (44-14-14-14-14 would probably be the best solution in integers.) However Zapiao’s expression had only three 1s in it, suggesting allocations of 50-16.67-16.67-16.66.
But if that’s what he wants to do, it would be simpler just to set CPDN to 300, leaving the others at the default 100. The resource shares aren’t percentages, but ‘weights’; BOINC calculates the percentages from them. Remember that many users run a number of hosts under a given set of preferences, without them all being attached to the same projects. So the sharing system has to work whether or not the numbers add up to 100. By default, on each host the sum is 100 times the number of projects it’s connected to.

Woo Hoo. High school algebra.
It's easier for me to think in terms of percents than their strange resource shares. Even after 10 months I still set up my shares in terms of percents.
