    I've noticed, on my linux box BOINC uses only 2 cores, how to make it run on 4 cores?
    I can't find the documentation for config files and there is no option for it in the GUI.

    (Yes, I've edited sched_request_einstein.phys.uwm.edu.xml to change all 2 to 4, no help).

      Have you checked your settings for "General preference" on your account page?

        If you use the Advanced preferences in BOINC Manager, it's at the "processor usage" tab, "On multiprocessor systems, use at most x processors".

        If you use the preferences through the website, it's in Your Account, General preferences, edit preferences, Processor usage, "On multiprocessors, use at most x processors". Make sure you save the changes to the website with the button at the bottom, then update BOINC: Open BOINC Manager, Advanced view, Projects tab, select Einstein@Home, press Update.

        If you want to hand edit anything, edit global_prefs.xml and/or global_prefs_override.xml
