CPU Usage

[meep]

I think I am missing something here... running this on a dual core CPU I cannot get it to run on any more than one core.

Any one have any hints?

Go to their website, login, and change your client options to run on more than one processor.

Ah ha - hiding in there... ta, all sorted now

..the bugger dl'ed another job rather than using both cores for one

[IronBits]

Yup, one project per core, perfect! twice the fun

None of the BOINC projects can use more than one core for a single work unit. It's just easier to work on multiple WUs at a time, or even multiple projects if you want.

It is not a problem, just would have prefferred to work on one WU at a time considering the estimate is 2000 flippin hours until completion.

I wont be running any other BOINC projects, just forced to use it in order to participate in this BBC project. The fact that this cannot be run 100% offline (or at least I have not seen a guide showing how) is quite limiting.

Us corporate network sneakernet crunchers like a bit of offline crunching

In the client interface, you can tell it to work offline.
You won't get any trickles, but it will continue to work.
It's under Commands in the boincmgr interface.

But a net connection will be required at some point? I cant take work to it can I?

[IronBits]

I haven't heard of anyone being able to do sneakernetting with BOINC yet
