Running with Intel emulation is probably wasting a lot of efficiency and it also seems reserve a lot of RAM. Only 3-4 concurrent threads seems possible on a 16GB Mac (with max 90% RAM usage setting in Boinc preferences). ID: 100641 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Einstein@home supposedly runs native on M1 and M2 Macs now. Even better, PrimeGrid recently released an update to use our GPUs, apparently using OpenCl, not Metal. https://www.primegrid.com/forum_thread. ... 207#161570 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/694866 https://www.reddit.com/r/BOINC/comments ... wto_guide/ ID: 108328 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
