 I'd like to see, what kind of results I can get, when I'll leave the test server up and running during my christmas vacation. I can only get 25% of CPU utilization for my computer. Client is the latest Boinc, 5.2.13, running on Windows 2003 Server Enterprise x64. Server has 4 dualcore- Intel Pentium IV Xeon. (8 processors.) HT is disabled. Host ID is 113242. https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/show_host_detail.php?hostid=113242 Any suggestions?  |

 I can only get 25% of CPU utilization for my computer. Client is the latest Boinc, 5.2.13, running on Windows 2003 Server Enterprise x64. Server has 4 dualcore- Intel Pentium IV Xeon. (8 processors.) What settings do you have in preferences for the following? On multiprocessors, use at most [ how many ] processors? Given you mention 25% CPU use, it sounds like that may be set to only 2, in which case that's all BOINC will use. If so, change it to 8, do a manual update of Rosetta in BOINC and see if the other 6 CPU's kick in. *** Join BOINC@Australia today ***  |

 Ahh, yes. There was such a setting :) I added more CPUs. I was just a simpleton. Thnx. /pohjomar  |

 Ahh, yes. There was such a setting :) Glad I could help. I'd feel even better if I had a server like that but unless I win the Lotto, it's not gonna happen :-) *** Join BOINC@Australia today ***  |
