I just want to free one core - what is the correct percentage in Preferences? Thanks |

Approximately 91.666666666666666666666666666667% I'm not sure which way the rounding is work, so try 91.7, if that runs 12 cores try 91.6% Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

The value is an integer however, so anything after the decimal point gets lost. Which means in this case that 92% to 99% means 11 cores. |

Thanks. Success with 91.666 = 11 on the Hexacore | 87.5% = 10 which would probably be smarter since its a 3 GPU sys that I run 2 GPU tasks each on Hoping "web preferences" will work on my 8 core as its a 2 GPU sys that I prefer either all 8 or 7 cores |

Hoping "web preferences" will work on my 8 core ... If all your computers use the same "web preferences" (there are 4 sets of "web Computing preferences") Setting to 99% (as already noted by Ageless): Use at most 99% of the CPUs ... will free 1 core - no matter if the CPU is 8 core, 12 core, 2 core, 64 core ... Of course if you set any value in Local preferences (e.g. "Disk and memory") the "web preferences" will not matter https://boinc.berkeley.edu/w/?title=Local_preferences&oldid=6117 Â - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) Â |
