     10A non-CPU-intensive project is treated specially by the core client:

    1012 * The core client maintains one result for the project
    1113 * The core client executes this result whenever computation is enabled,     bypassing the normal CPU scheduling mechanism.

    13 A project labels itself as non-CPU-intensive by including the <non_cpu_intensive> flag in its [http://boinc.berkeley.edu/configuration.php configuration file]
     15A project labels itself as non-CPU-intensive by including the `<non_cpu_intensive>` flag in its [ProjectConfigFile configuration file]

    1517This attribute is at the project level; there is no provision for a project to have some applications that are CPU intensive and some that aren't.

    1719Non-CPU-intensive applications can use chunks CPU time; this won't break anything, and the CPU scheduler will adjust to it by changing its estimates of 'CPU efficiency'. However, non-CPU-intensive applications should try not to use more CPU time than their resource share fraction indicates.
