Win-7 64b, XFX HD6990, AMD 955BE 3.9GHz BOINC version 7.0.3, ATI 12.1 Beta Catalyst Drivers I discovered 7.0.3 is enforcing the CPU load thing. So, when I run Milkyway, it adds up the 0.80 CPU load and disables one core. A look at Task Manager shows this is not required since it is only 75% loaded. I have no problems running any other tasks, but I used to be able to run Milkyway 0.82 with all 4 cores crunching other tasks. Now, when I run Milkyway, I loose 25% of my crunching capability. Could someone fix the 0.82 (ati) tasks so the CPU's is set to 0.08 instead of 0.80? Thanks! 8-) Thanks! |

They have updated the server software. The server calculates the CPU-usage by himself. I don´t know the algorithm, but it leads to a false estimated CPU-usage. I have seen this at collatz after updating the server software. After that Jon hardcoded the CPU-usage for Collatz-tasks. IMHO I see two ways to resolve this issue: 1. hardcode real CPU-usage in the server code. 2. use an app_info.xml to adjust the usage by yourself. |

Should be fixed. |

Good grief... never such a fast reponse to a question/problem as here at Milkway! The tasks run perfectly now without an app_info.xml.. Many thanks!!!! 8-) |
