I am currently running Asteroids@Home, Einstein@Home, and Universe@Home on a Nokia C100/N152DL, two cores (it has 4 total, but as we know, BOINC works better running on just half of the cores at a time). Due to fiddling around with one of the settings, I currently have:
* Asteroids: 6 WUs, deadline November 10 11:45 UTC, expected runtimes ~22-23 hours
* Universe: 20 WUs, deadline November 13 23:44 UTC, expected runtimes ~12-15 Hours
* Einstein: 16 WUs November 11 0:43 UTC, expected runtimes ~15-16 hours.

It is currently running 2 A@H tasks concurrently, and has been for a couple of days. I would expect, given that it would finish the Asteroids tasks before the deadline even using just one core (I have BOINC running nearly 24/7) that it would also try to switch in tasks from one of the other projects. I know that some of them are going to likely time out anyway, but why not try to get in as many as possible? This is version 7.24.1.
BOINC (for Android) 8.0.0
