2) Message boards : Number crunching : Is it possible to choose specific types of units for download and computation? (Message 70137) Posted 5 Oct 2020 by Jakob Kramer Hero Post: ADDED: I noticed in the forums that others have the same problem, and that there is a workaround when a unit gets stuck. My question of whether we can actively deselect the downloading of the units still stands, though. Hi I use only my cpu for computation (basically because the bios of my computer turns off the fan at low temperatures and when the temperature rises the fan starts up. I cannot modify this setting, and the sound is a bit annoying, so I've found out that keeping the cpu somewhat busy prevents the fan from turning off). When running MilkyWay@home on cpu-units, I generally get two types of units: Modfit and Nbody. Modfit run on a single core and compute just fine. Nbody runs on 4 cores and some of them compute fine while others seem to stall and literally just get stuck for hours until I cancel them. I can tell from the fact that my cpu cools off (and the fan shuts off/restarts etc.) that it's not because the cpu is busy and just "calculates in circles" or something. I have looked around but cannot seem to find a setting to allow only single core units to be downloaded. Is this possible, or will I have to manually cancel all 4 core units every time they download?
