Post: SUCCESS ! It seems the problem is that SETI @ HOME uses shared memory. (To a larger extent than other Boinc projects?) With the changes suggested by Ageless I immediately got 12 threads working fully. Maybe this should be added to some FAQ? Maybe the developers should fix this? (Other apps/projects seem to be working just fine:) |

Post: I'm having the same problem on my 6 core Xeon hackintosh. (HyperThreading fully functional) It just doesn't matter wether I set number of processors to 99 and cpu utilization to 0 or 100%. The Event Log shows that it recognizes 12 cores. No matter how I change the settings I can't get it to handle more than 8 tasks at a time. Eight tasks have the status "Running" and the rest has the status "Waiting for shared memory". Note that I have 24 GB of RAM and set the disk/memory usage like this: Disk: use at most 50 GB 0 means no restriction Disk: leave free at least 20 GB Values smaller than 0.001 are ignored Disk: use at most 90% of total Tasks checkpoint to disk at most every 60 seconds Swap space: use at most 75% of total Memory: when computer is in use, use at most 50% of total Memory: when computer is not in use, use at most 90% of total |
