1) Questions and Answers : Preferences : CPU Prefences (Message 27632) Posted 30 Mar 2007 by old_user39679 Post: Thanks for your answers. Actually the memory size settings does exactly what I need, without having to buy extra memory to run 2 tasks. After I set it as follow: Use at most Enforced by version 5.8 and greater 25% of memory when computer is in use Use at most Enforced by version 5.8 and greater 90% of memory when computer is idle When I work, one task will be running and the other waiting for memory. It will switch between the 2 tasks every 60 minutes(The value can be changed). When The computer is idle, both tasks run.
2) Questions and Answers : Preferences : CPU Prefences (Message 27543) Posted 27 Mar 2007 by old_user39679 Post: I would like to use 1 CPU during the day and 2 CPUS during the night. I don\'t use 2 CPUs during the day as it takes too much memory and slow my PC down. Is there a way to configure BOINC to act that way? Jean-Luc
3) Questions and Answers : Windows : Memory Usage (Message 20126) Posted 11 Feb 2006 by old_user39679 Post: I checked the moemry usage when I suspend ans when I run BOINC. The difference is around 62 MB. That\'s a lot when running Windows XP with 256 MB SDRAM, and the system gets slower when I run climateprediction models dur to swapping. Is this memory usage normal? Can it be tuned down?
