Hi there , the title say's it all.

in the settings i put use 50% cpu's and 50% cpu time , indeed the tasks went from 12 active to 6 tasks active
but still all my 12 cpu's are being used.

Hi Sixkid,

I'm thinking that is normal now. Mine does it too.

My i7 8700 did it and my i7 8086K is doing it too. My old i7 4771 had 4 cores running. The other 4 only when the system needed it. I have a CPU meter and it had 4 cores at 100% On my 8086 all 12 are jumping around everywhere.

I'm building a Linux box with my old i7 4771. I'll let you know what it does.

Have a great day! :)

Hi Ian,

I'm set at 100 100. I changed it to 50 100 and it dropped CPU usage below 40%. I reset it to 100 100 and I'm back to 60%ish.

Have a great day! :)

I would consider putting a app_config.xml and then place <project_max_concurrent> in there to limit the total amount of work units to 6 ( if you are only running CPU tasks and no GPU)

Hi Zalster,

I'm running an app_config.xml with the <project_max_concurrent>. I'm running 2GPUs, 1 WU each and 6 CPU WUs. This will be changing in the next couple weeks though. ;)

Have a great day! :)

It's the operating system that causes the applications to jump from cpu core to cpu core.

Look up "affinity" if you want to tie an application to a specific core. But from memory the OS will revert to 'normal' operation as soon as that running of the application finishes.

I am assuming Sixkid's question is why are all 12 cores being used, and not just six being permanently assigned to tasks, with the other six permanently free to do other things. I think the analogy is twelve workers in a factory and wanting only six to push a button, not six to be pushing a button at one hour, and a different six pushing a button at a different hour. In the analogy's sense, I see why you would want to do that. However, I don't know if it makes a difference or not in computer architecture.

I know I didn't answer your question, but perhaps that is the question you are wondering?

So looking at your results you are running SoG? If yes, then you are running 8 out of 12 cores. To set affinity to a physical core for the CPU task use Process Lasso and set affinity for CPU task to physical cores. If you are running a app_config.xml with a project max concurrent what is the value set at?

Indeed , not that i mind that the tasks are devided over all cores to get a even temperature and not 6 hot spots. i was just wondering why it used 12 cores instead of just 6 cores

As for 100% Cputime ( only if You pay my electric bill , Coz this room is heated by Boinc atm )

My GPU is processing SoG units like Crazy :)
