But I 'm guessing the nbody orphan_real will finish sooner ... :-)

Est task size: 2301211000 GFLOPs

2.9% in 3:36:00 ... I duess I'll give it more CPU's

[edit] thats 87600:00:00

I see Nbody runs in MT mode if allowed BUT it only consumes 4 CPU's not all 8. Is that a trick of HT , a testing design limit, a consequence of running MT in "old" boinc non-MT mode, or is it a configuration prob on my part?

[edit] ... ignore this ... looks like just a configuration thing of mine ...

As I indicated earlier .. I'm a newbie at M@H I don't see a reference to a "Richard" in the intro web description. Who is he?

As long as I'm at it ...

Where can I get more "theory of operation" info etc. for the various M@H programs?

O.K. so for the sake of WU throughput is it better to have BOINC schedule the computer at 100% or should I leave a CPU or 2 "idle" so Nbody can do its MT more efficiently??

I'm new to Milkeyway at home so this question may be covered somewhere else (sorry).

While watching my 4 WU's running, (sharing CPU's 1,3,5,and 7), I often see in Task manager 2 of the WU's running above the 13% (o.k.12.5% for 8 cpu's) that should be the maximum allowed usage (i.e. 1 cpu). I have seen WU's above 30% usage. Is this a simple OS accounting error ... or are WU's actually running on multiple cpu's? This SEEMS to be most noticeable with nbody_1.04 WU's.

Thanks

Ed Frybarger
