1) Message boards : Number crunching : Only crunching one milky way wu at a time?? (Message 42723) Posted 10 Oct 2010 by Matt Lowe Post: Ok its been 6 hrs and MW is still crunching on just the one unit all night -- confirmed with activity monitor.... The unit is progressing but still... only thing crunching???
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Only crunching one milky way wu at a time?? (Message 42720) Posted 10 Oct 2010 by Matt Lowe Post: Apparently my problem isn't fixed. After my other projects crunched for about an hour BOINC switched back to the N-Body WU that was giving me problems before. It has been processing for a couple of hours now all by itself. I did some more digging and in activity monitor it is bouncing around my four processor cores, using each core for about 5-10 seconds and then changing cores. This explains why nothing else is processing but this is not an acceptable situation. ( At least Aqua uses all four cores when it ties them up for its own use... lol ) I am going to let to be for the night and see what happens. The deadline for the unit isnt until the Oct 16th and the only wu's, in fact nothing has a deadline before this unit. Anyone have any idea what is going on????
3) Message boards : Number crunching : How do you force Boinc to request work? (Message 42718) Posted 10 Oct 2010 by Matt Lowe Post: A somewhat easier way is suspend your other projects long enough for MW to grab wu's and then resume the other projects.

(Message 42714) Posted 10 Oct 2010 by Matt Lowe Post: Update -- I had forced boinc to switch to my other projects and suspended MW trying to figure out what was going on and make sure BOINC was still seeing all four cores on my system -- after I posted my original post I resumed MW and now everything is working normally -- MW is processing and all of my cores are now being used... dont know what happened but apparently its now "fixed"

(Message 42713) Posted 10 Oct 2010 by Matt Lowe Post: Suddenly this evening MW began crunching only 1 NBody WU at a time, using only one core out of the 4 on my system.... This is not happening with my other projects -- they are using all four cores to crunch 4 different wu's... I have tried restarting BOINC, rebooting the computer and double check my preferences- all set to use all cores and MW still is only crunching one unit.... Anyone got a clue??? My system -- Mac Pro - 2xDual Core Xeon, OSX 10.5.8 BOINC 6.10.58
