I run Rosetta, Simap, Predictor, QMC, BBC, all with max cpus set to 2. I find that all these BOINC programs quite happily run together (i.e. use both cpus) except Rosetta - If Rosetta gets scheduled with any of the other BOINC programs it just idles while the other runs. Known issue or am I doing something wrong ? cheers Rod in Sydney ID: 18256 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

If so you can change this. [Edit]Ignore the above. I just read again what you said. Oops! sorry. :-)[/Edit] ID: 18258 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
