Hi all, Just realized that I have one instance of conhost.exe running for each task slot. With 5 CPU tasks and 2 GPU tasks running, there are 7 instances of conhost.exe. Is this normal ? I am running the stock apps : setiathome_8.05_windows_x86_64.exe setiathome_8.22_windows_intelx86_opencl_nvidia_SoG.exe ...Grete... Humans may rule the world...but bacteria run it... |

Hi all, It would be considered normal for most systems. There are changes that can be made to the OS so it doesn't do that, but that would disable pretty much all of the "pretty" GUI features. Which may or may not be desired. SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the [url=http://tinyurl.com/8y46zvu]BP6/VP6 User Group[ |

Oh ok...tnx ! Just had to ask, as I could swear they weren't there before. I'm probably wrong (it happens).. ;-) Humans may rule the world...but bacteria run it... |

From my BOINC FAQs: Conhost.exe is the console wrapper Windows uses for console based applications. BOINC doesn't start it directly. When an application is launched, the Windows application loader determines what sub-system the application belongs to and then proceeds to launch the correct sub-system before launching the application. In any case, it is a Windows thing. The science application would have to change its application type to a windowed application instead of a console application. |
