Hi all, I'm running BOINC for Android and am seeing a few odd things. I know this is very new, but thanks in advance for the help!
1) Is there a way to see in-app how much CPU BOINC is using? When I switch to the native task manager it only shows BOINC as using anywhere from 0-10% CPU. I've only finished 2 workunits (unreported at time of writing) which took 4:28:07 and 3:38:04 to finish. From what little I've seen so far that's within the realm of normal? 2) The app is only detecting 1 CPU on my dual-core. Specs/logs are below. Seems like it couldn't find my preferences file for a while and then decided to use my "home" preferences (which says to use more than 1 CPU if available). Specs: Phone: ATT Galaxy S2 Skyrocket Android: 4.1.2 stock BOINC: 7.2.7 CPU: 1.5 GHz dual-core Qualcomm Scorpion Ram: 1GB total, 788MB usable App Options: CPU Limit: 100% RAM Limit: 50: Logs (a tad repetative but it does change a bit): Tue Jul 23 02:04:37 CDT 2013||suspend work if non-BOINC CPU load exceeds 50 % Tue Jul 23 02:04:37 CDT 2013||don't use GPU while active Tue Jul 23 02:04:37 CDT 2013||Android: don't compute while active Tue Jul 23 02:04:37 CDT 2013||max disk usage: 0.28GB Tue Jul 23 02:04:37 CDT 2013||max memory usage when idle: 394.03MB Tue Jul 23 02:04:37 CDT 2013||max memory usage when active: 394.03MB Tue Jul 23 02:04:37 CDT 2013||Preferences: Tue Jul 23 02:04:37 CDT 2013||Reading preferences override file Tue Jul 23 02:04:37 CDT 2013||General prefs: using separate prefs for home Tue Jul 23 02:04:37 CDT 2013|World Community Grid|Computer location: home Tue Jul 23 02:04:37 CDT 2013|World Community Grid|General prefs: from World Community Grid (last modified 08-Dec-2012 10:00:30) Tue Jul 23 02:04:37 CDT 2013|World Community Grid|New computer location: home Tue Jul 23 02:04:37 CDT 2013|World Community Grid|Scheduler request completed: got 1 new tasks Tue Jul 23 02:04:35 CDT 2013|World Community Grid|Requesting new tasks for CPU Tue Jul 23 02:04:35 CDT 2013|World Community Grid|Sending scheduler request: Project initialization.

Hi Randomballoon,
Your results sound good, the times are as expected for 1 CPU core running around 100%, which avoids the heat problems caused by multiple threads. I am surprised that wcgrid_fahv..etc. is running at less than 10%. You might have looked at boinc.exe by accident. Naturally, it does almost nothing except start and stop wcgrid_etc. Lawrence |
