Hello everyone
I started to use the BOINC for Windows software, couple of days ago. I really like the easy option to set it up as a system service. I have only one problem. I want BOINC to use only 50% of my CPU. I tried using the settings on WCG page, with no success. I tried downloading ThreadMaster add-on from the BOINC page, and I still got no luck after playing around with it for a full hour. Is it possible to throttle down BOINC to 50% even if have to process only one thread at a time. |

Hello groovestix,
----------------------------------------ThreadMaster ought to work as long as you remember to throttle the science application rather than the BOINC client. You will need to edit the registry whenever you use a new science application. Just what do you mean by multi-threading? [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Feb 23, 2006 12:30:53 PM] |

Ha.
By multi-threading I was going to ask if it's possible to proccess one thread (WU) at the time. I was hoping that one thread (WU) would use 50%. I guess I realized that's impossible to do that and I forgot to remove the term... Otherwise I tried using ThreadMaster and here's the code I merged: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ThreadMaster\Parameters] "CPUThresholdPct"="90" "MainSampleTime"="30" "ThreadOverloadActionStart"="" "ThreadOverloadActionStop"="" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ThreadMaster\Parameters\Applications] "mfadmin.exe"="5" "rosetta_4.22_windows_intelx86.exe"="25" "rosetta_4.22_windows_intelx86"="25" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ThreadMaster\Parameters\Exceptions] "winlogon.exe"="" "services.exe"="" "SPOOLSV.EXE"="" "termsrv.exe"="" "svchost.exe"="" "csrss.exe"="" "cdmsvc.exe"="" "dfssvc.exe"="" "llssrv.exe"="" "lsass.exe"="" "msdtc.exe"="" "mstask.exe"="" "pnsvc.exe"="" "smss.exe"="" "sysdown.exe"="" "System"="" "SystemProcess"="" "winmgmt.exe"="" "agentsvr.exe"="" I hope I made a mistake in the code, so if anyone can explain me, please do! :) |
