Sitting empty, if I read status page correctly, there is work and the splitters are splitting.
Confused......

I have to reinstall, long story, and many installs, it's been a while, but I can reinstall windows, reinstall boinc, then copy the old boinc folder back over the install correct???


Like I said it's been a while since I have had to do this........

Posted 363 days ago by Profile Gonad the Destroyer®©™
I am running 2 cores right now, plus the GPU. Will the appinfo below run 2 at once on the GPU??

And, would it be wise to do the same with AP??

Which one would be faster crunching???

Posted 367 days ago by Profile Gonad the Destroyer®©™
Ya, she's rock'n 2 cores for the CPU app, one on each...


By the way, for a 6 core CPU, 40% uses 2 cores.... ;)

Are you sure you have not toggled Boinc Manager to show active tasks only?

Check: if the button says 'show all tasks' - then press it and you should see all tasks again.


Thats exactly what happined..... Thank you...

Posted 368 days ago by Profile Gonad the Destroyer®©™
I will try that, I like stream lining.. also, working great so far, had to use /affinity E, wasnt sure if running 2 CPU task's plus the GPU on just 2 cores would work, so using 3 cores right now, working pretty good......


Ninja EDIT:
Forgot to say thanks for all the help........ :D

Thank you...

I will try that...

Before I installed BOINC I made a BOINC folder, then put everything in there, the program data folder and the main BOINC folder....heh

Posted 368 days ago by Profile Gonad the Destroyer®©™
Ok, I think I understand, I want:

My BOINC folder is on D:, and everything is in there.
Make a batch file with this in it and should be good to go??? (I copied and pasted your example and made a few changes.)

D:
cd boinc
rd notices /s /q
start /affinity 60 D:\BOINC\BOINC\boinc.exe --skip_cpu_benchmarks --detach
start D:\BOINC\BOINC\boincmgr.exe /s

This will start BOINC on it's own and have the manager to monitor it correct???
Right now I just use boincmanager to fire everything up.....

Posted 368 days ago by Profile Gonad the Destroyer®©™
I'll check when I get home from work...
I don't recall changing anything but it's possible......

Also, what could I use to keep two WU's on core 5 & 6???
going to start using a couple cores with the gpu on there...
19) Message boards : Number crunching : Wha da heck (Message 1245809)
Posted 368 days ago by Profile Gonad the Destroyer®©™
Am I missing something here.....

This rig here shows I have like 164 WU's to crunch, I let my cache run dry, as a just in case measure, to start using a couple CPU cores.
I went to check out the folder, there appears to be WU's in the folder, but BOINC is showing nothing.
Are them queued for download or s there 164 WU's lost in space??????
20) Message boards : Number crunching : Just started up again (Message 1241636)
Posted 377 days ago by Profile Gonad the Destroyer®©™
The GPU is pegged, that runs 93%-99%, but no HDD, no network, when I got home from work yesterday I restarted it a few times thinking that would help. It doesnt seem to be lagging quit as much this morning, maybe I'll keep track of the different WU's it's crunching when it gets laggy, who knows eh???


I will set it to run a couple of WU's at a time, I think I just change the appinfo correct??
