Dear Team,
I have 8 Core AMD 8350 and Rosetta is using only one core - I checked Virtual Box settings. I tried to provide 4 or even 8 cores to this VM but after re-start Rosetta reverts these changes and still uses only 1 core. Are there any ways to fix this case?

Thanks, and sorry if this was discussed earlier, did not find.

Exit BOINC, then restart it.
Then check the Event log (View, Advanced View. Tools, Event log) and see what messages are there. Rosetta VirtualBox Tasks require roughly 8GB of disk space, per Task.

Well, I see now Max CPU used: 8, but overall CPU load is still about 15-20%. Although the cores are seem to be working more or less. VirtualBox is still using 1 CPU. I have no idea.

This means you have set your preferences on the system itself, so all Web based preferences will be ignored.

02.02.2024 11:09:32 | | - suspend if non-BOINC CPU load exceeds 25%

Unless you're doing video encoding or similar work, there's really no need to suspend BOINC at all, even when it is in use for other things. If you really feel the need, then set it to something more reasonable such as 75% or 85% non-BOINC load before suspending.
When the computer is not in use, there's no need to suspend BOINC at all.

02.02.2024 11:09:32 | | - Store at least 0.10 days of work
02.02.2024 11:09:32 | | - Store up to an additional 0.50 days of work

Setting that to "Store at least 0.50 days work" and "Store up to an additional 0.01 days of work" will result in it actually carrying that much work.
The way you have it at present means BOINC will allow the work to drop down to around 0.10 days of work, before getting another 0.50 days worth.

If running more than one project, having no cache is best for getting your Resource share setting honoured quickly.

At the time you posted this log, you only had 1 Task in progress.
As of me posting this reply, you no longer have any Tasks- they've all timed out, been cancelled by the server, or returned, reported & Validated.

It'll just be the luck of the draw if you get work the next time some is sent out.
