How do you run boinc to crunch 2 WU at a time on PS3? My prefs are set to run 8 cpu's. running the boincmgr only shows 1 WU being crunched. |

How do you run boinc to crunch 2 WU at a time on PS3? You can't. It won't. You only have 2 CPU cores. They share the 6 available SPE's. The SPE's are not shared in this app. The app uses all 6. It's more effective to run this way with 1 CPU core using all 6 SPE's than have 2 CPU cores using 3 SPE's each. I believe this is covered in the FAQ section somewhere in more detail and explains what the CPU SPE's relationships are. It is not the same as a quad core or 8 core computer (if there was such a thing). The pictures on the front page explain some too. |
