related to v2.35 windows 1. running 100% on multiprocessor = 16core +16HT 2. suspend 16 of them not working and running further in background 3. running all 32, the host is getting nearly unresponsible = CPU load 100% on all cores |

Thanks for the report! Version 2.37 is now live for everyone: 3. Fixed: the solver now runs at idle priority (like other BOINC projects), so the desktop stays responsive even with all threads busy. Idle throughput is almost unchanged (−2% in our test). 2. Suspend does work: a suspended task stops using CPU. But BOINC then starts another queued task on the freed thread, so the CPU stays at 100%. To use fewer threads, set "Use at most X% of the CPUs" in your BOINC computing preferences. Resumed tasks continue from their checkpoint. One task per logical CPU is expected. |
