Re: quad core support

The UD agent will only use one core. If you want to use all 4, then you will need to convert to BOINC.

Cheers!

Re: quad core support

To utilise all 4 cores you need to download the BOINC client - you will need to do this anyway as the UD client will become obsolete here soon.

If you use the recommended BOINC client available form WCG HERE (version 5.10.22) it will automatically remove the UD client when it installs.

Re: quad core support

Re: quad core support

foxem2001,

Not so given that the maker, United Devices now UnivaUD, fell thru on its promise to develop a multi-core version of the agent, instead they pulled the plug and simultaneous shut down their own volunteer Grid Computing project without finishing the Cancer Research project.
