1) Message boards : Bug tracker : Amicable doesn't respect usage limits (Message 732) Posted 7 Feb 2018 by Thundergrid Post: Hi, i'll try lowering # jobs & increasing cores, otherwise boinc will have more slots available to other projects. This cooler is a piece of shit, but is clean & thermal compound is fine.. ambient is a little bit high here at 30ºC, but with all other projects running.. is fine @70-75ºC . With Amicable running along with others i got 88-92ºC.. after a few minutes.. .anyway, i'll try your advice.. will begin from low 1... going up to test the limits. Thanks
2) Message boards : Bug tracker : Amicable doesn't respect usage limits (Message 730) Posted 6 Feb 2018 by Thundergrid Post: Hi, i've configured Boinc to use at most 75% of CPU time to prevent heating and throttling the processor. The problem is, Amicable doesn't respect those limits.. it uses 100% CPU time no matter what. In the past i was able to run 2 Amicable task at once without any problems... but now it's not feasible as CPU temps go skyrocket. Is this the expected behaviour?. Is there something i've misconfigured? BOINC client version 7.2.42 for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu Processor: 8 GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz [Family 6 Model 60 Stepping 3] OS: Linux: 4.4.104-39-default Memory: 7.70 GB physical, 2.01 GB virtual VirtualBox version: 5.1.28r117968 Regards

4) Message boards : Number crunching : CPU underutilization (Message 74) Posted 2 Feb 2017 by Thundergrid Post: Hi guys, i'm new and while crunching this WU noticed the last 20% was done with only 2 cores working. The thing is, boinc has already assigned the 4 cores to Amicable.. so i have half CPU stalled, still there are 4 other WU waiting in the pipe that can't crunch. Is there a way to force Amicable to use all four cores until 100% is reached?. Regards PD: sorry about my english. Update: the last 10% is using only one core and lasting forever!.
