1) Message boards : Number crunching : How many CPUs? (Message 69130) Posted 27 Sep 2019 by M5WJF Post: Ok, I've run SETI@home exclusively since I joined the project in 1999, but earlier this month decided to add this project, but I now have a query. Just how many CPUs does BOINC / SETI@home / MilkyWay@home think my computer has? According to BOINC 0.0497 of a CPU is being using along with the GPU for a v8 8.00 (cuda42) for SETI 1 CPU is running a MilkyWay N-Body Sim v1.76 1 CPU is running a MilkyWay N-Body Sim v1.76 6 CPUs is running a MilkyWay N-Body Sim v1.76 (mt) All very well, but the machine is a Phenom X6 1100T, so there's only 6 cores, so how is it possible to run 8.0497 cores on this machine, when at least 2 don't exist, and the other is a bit of sharing? Just doesn't compute.
