Is there a way to bind calculations to concrete cores? (3-8)
Setup 75% of core to use change nothing - 6 core 100% load, and 2 by 50%. It not what i want. Windows, AMD. |

Have you tried going to your profile and:
----------------------------------------On multiprocessors, at most use: X processors. Then save, go to your client and update the project and then go to the BOINC preferences, hit the clear button and check if works. EDIT: Glad to have back on board!

You can set the affinity from a process to a certain core manually with Task Manager. There are tools to do that automatically, but maybe problems will raise when more processes are running with the same name/executable. |

hmm,
----------------------------------------Trisis, do you want to use 6 cores or to use the 8 cores all of them at 75%? AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF 6C/12T 3.2 GHz - 85W AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 4C/8T 2.0 GHz - 28W AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 8C/16T 3.0 GHz |

i want to use 6/8 cores when i gaming.
Because of useless core parking (it turn off) and balancing, the load always jumping from core to core. In huge game it will be cause troubles. https://www.dropbox.com/s/oatij3s6ms7fooi/cpu.png?dl=0 |

Hmm have you tried gaming with all 8 cores running on BOINC?
----------------------------------------I never noticed any difference between playing Crysis 3 with BOINC running and playing it without BOINC running because BOINC runs the applications in low priority, so whenever a game or another application needs CPU power, BOINC releases it. Did you disable core parking? AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF 6C/12T 3.2 GHz - 85W AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 4C/8T 2.0 GHz - 28W AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 8C/16T 3.0 GHz |

Whatever the benefit would be, for the fahv and cep2 apps it would be hard as they get launched a new by a stager app some 140 respectively 7-8 times per task. The stager remains loaded for the duration, the worker does not. |

Now i'm nothing to check how to play, I ran the benchmark in the Hitman on ultra settings.
with calculations on 8 cores I got 34-48 FPS, with no busy CPU 50-120. For normal applications binding constant is solved by a key (CMD.EXE /C START /AFFINITY 1), but in BOINC each job is a new process, so third-party software can't solve this. Calculation cycle is long, and i can make a binding every 4 hours (from task manager easily) if it will be really need, but I'm surprised that the client is no such option. |

Well, maybe the best course of action is to enable all cores but to suspend BOINC while you are playing games.
