1) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems and Technical Issues with Rosetta@home (Message 93958) Posted 9 Apr 2020 by 3zQBWZLvN5j2CdrKcJkDs8E5nQ6H Post: slightly OT: Windows10 seems to LAG when BOINC runs on ALL cores. why? My setup: Processor I7 9700k @ 4,5 GHz, no graphics card. 16 GB RAM The processor has 8 phys. cores I let the boinc client run on 7 cores, currently 5 run with rosetta 4.12, the other 2 cores run with rosetta mini 3.78 So far so good - as i let my machine run 24/7, i would like to use ALL EIGHT CORES for rosetta. But when i set the boinc client to 100%, at first i see an 8th process start. Fine, but after a while Windows10 does strange things. E.g. when i want to copy a larger file on my HDD, Windows10 seems to wait and wait and wait and not perform the task. Every now and then Windows10 refuses to do something and just tends to wait. I don't know WHY this habbens because the rosetta tasks should be in idle low priority anyway. As soon as i revert to 7 core usage (i put 88% into the boinc client usage), everything returns to normal. Does anyone else know of this behaviour and how to fix it and let boinc use all processor cores? greetings from Vienna Roland Schweiger
