Hi,

I am using BOINC manager version 5.4.11

I have tried to set my CPU usage via General preferences and update it via the manager but under

Projects/Resource share

it is showing the original status, for example 100% and under Messages there is no message indicating the updated preference.

Why is the boinc client not updated? Am I doing the correct procedure?

Thank you.

Because... Use at most Enforced by version 5.6+

Version 5.4.11 is too early of a version.

Update to 5.8.16

Jerry,

actually, the number you are referring to (resource share) is not the same as CPU usage. The resource share comes in play if you run multiple projects (like Einstein@Home, Rosetta@Home, there are more computing projects than Seti which can be run under BOINC), which then splits the computing time between these projects.

And, as already stated, the minimum BOINC version for the CPU throttle to work is 5.6.x. The CPU usage can then be monitored via e.g. task manager.

Linux never got a version 5.10.20 (but it is going to get a 5.10.2x. I just don't know what x is yet).

I have got a newer version of 5.8.17. The CPU throttle works.
