BOINC agent not recognizing all threads

I have the new i9 7980XE with 18 cores and 36 threads. The OS recognizes all cores/threads just fine, so does CPUZ. In the BOINC Event Log it only recognizes 32 threads and so it only folds using 32 threads. Any idea why that is?

Re: BOINC agent not recognizing all threads

Just set the local computing prefs to 100% and save. If that does not work, add <ncpus>36</ncpus> as option in a (possibly to be created) cc_config.xml to force it, the restart of the client required, or re-read config file on the Options menu. The cc_config.xml manual you find at https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Client_configuration

PS, the web device manager profile, custom section, could also be set to 100% of processors / On multiprocessors, at most use: 36 processors. Then you also need to hit update at left in the BOINC manager projects view after selecting WCG.

Re: BOINC agent not recognizing all threads

Thanks for your response SekeRob. Just to clarify, I need to create the config file but do I only need to input the ncpu line or do I need to add settings for everything?

Re: BOINC agent not recognizing all threads

Scratch that. I just saw that the file is in the data folder not the program folder. I made your suggested change and it is now using all 36 threads. Thanks a bunch!

Re: BOINC agent not recognizing all threads

Under windows, User configurable files are not supposed to be in the program folder, which is why Programdata was created,
