So here's the trick to getting 5 cores to run. Start WCG or some other Boinc Project and suspend PS3grid. Resume PS3grid. Suspend all other projects. PS3grid should begin running. Then resume all other applications and they start crunching on the other 4 cores.

Uh, dumb question but is your BOINC profile set to where "On multiprocessors, at most use: "X" processors" with X greater than 4? |

Uh, dumb question but is your BOINC profile set to where "On multiprocessors, at most use: "X" processors" with X greater than 4? On BOINC 6.3.10 (64 bit GPU client) the option is "On multi-processor systems, use XXX.XX% of the processors." The default is 100.00%. It's like getting a "free" and very very fast processor!!  |

"On multiprocessors, at most use: "X" processors" BOINC 6.2 and 6.3 both ignore that setting. I for one am not amused. I pointed this out to the developers, they ignored me. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Oct 3, 2008 7:08:34 PM] |

Have those WCG errors been fixed? Is it safe to run WCG again? Yep, until their next production FU! |

Interesting, throttle however many cores you have and not how many of those to use.

DM, I finally finished up the last of the three CPDN WU's I had from back in May. All under 300 hours. Someday when I get another one, will have to see how long it's projected for. Also, supposedly Proteins is expecting to have WUs about year-end.

It has worked for me on 6.2.19 as I have used it to shut down a core to control heat on that $#@%$# Crapway (er ... Gateway) machine I have.  EDIT: Make that 6.2.19 [Edit 1 times, last edit by Dataman at Oct 3, 2008 7:27:17 PM] |

Also, supposedly Proteins is expecting to have WUs about year-end. Mine is currently @700.04 hours, 30.848% complete with 1289.23 hours to go. I think they made some changes. If you look in your preferences, they have 4 "flavors" you can opt in or out of. One is 20 day jobs but it requires a heap of memory, 2 are roughly 30 days and one (the one I got as my first WU) is roughly (very roughly) 60 days. I don't think mine is going to complete this year  but it's deadline is 3/5/2011 @ 11:44;15 AM  |

Look for yourself: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/browser/branch...e_release_6_2/lib/prefs.C The old setting was removed. http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/changeset/14639/trunk/boinc/lib/prefs.C |
