Hello!

Could the feature CPU-affinity add to BOINC?!

That I don't need to use a not official optimized/extended client...

Thanx!


Friendly greetings!

Some experimentation was done, and there is very little difference between the two, and in some cases, CPU afinity made the projects run more slowly. This was covered in some emails in the BOINC_dev group. Based on these results, I believe that it is very unlikely that CPU affinity will be turned on. If you have provable different results, please post them with your methodology - if it is good enough, you might be able to convince people.
