How can I maximize all my 24 logical CPUs?

I have a system running with 24 logical CPUs. (Dual Processor, Hex-Core)
It is always use only 16 tasks in any way.
My device profile is Max Output already and running BOINC client v6.6.38.
How can I use all logical CPUs for WCG computing?
(The system is dedicated for WCG only)

Thanks

Re: How can I maximized all my 24 logical CPUs?

Plz visit the website device profile. There are 2 values, a percent of processors allowed usage and a hard number. The default used to be 16. Just up it to 24.

edit: Of course, to have it take immediate effect, hit Update in the Projects tab of BOINC Manager.

Does the client log show u using overrides? If so, you need to amend local prefs or clear them.

Re: How can I maximized all my 24 logical CPUs?

To Sekerob...Thanks a lot, it is now fully loaded.

To Steve WCG...It is still a prototype system. I can not tell too much. There are dual Westmere 2.4GHz (95W) on board. BTW, I am expecting PowerPC support someday thus my System p can join the work.

Re: How can I maximized all my 24 logical CPUs?

Thanks for what you can give (darn NDA), sounds like the most efficient cruncher in existence (excluding initial cost of couse) applause

Some WCG projects do support PPC http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/help/viewTopic.do?shortName=minimumreq#251

Probably doing spec work for an OEM. I am jealous.

Just started using my new Sager i7 3.33 hz processor with 1,333 hz 6 gb ram and boy does she fly. 8 tasks at a time. about 25,000 points a day.
