Topic 189018

I was looking for solution on this forum, and I didn't do anything (exept I set in preferences that E@H should work all the time), and now BOINC processes 2 workunits simultaneously. When I looked in task manager, it said thet my both processors (HT) were active (100%), but this is first time that they are acting like this... Does anybody knows how did I do this?

my P4 3.2 does 2 Wus at one tine,

did you set up your Prefwerences correct

On multiprocessors, use at most 2 processors

at your Account at General
specify when and how BOINC uses your computer

I don't think the BOINC client works like that. The general profile settings from the project which has been updated most recently are the ones it uses. Those settings will eventually update your accounts at other projects if you use the same email address. The new cpu will be shared in the sane way as the first one.

But it works. Einstein and SETI, one at one processor.

Yes, but it is just as likely that you will see BOINC doing SETI@Home/SETI@Home, or Einstein@Home/Einstein@Home, or split.

This is much more likely when you have more than two projects attached. My dual-Xeon right now is doing 3 Einstien@Home and one CPDN. One HT is doing two PPAH and another is doing PPAH/Einstein@Home, and a third is doing SETI@Home and CPDN.

So, it can change over time ...
