Hi! I am having trouble adding a core-I7 920 pc to my account. Boinc recognizes that it has 8 cores (i.e., 4 physical and 4 'virtual' cores with HT), yet it downloaded only four WU. With my core-I7 940 pc it downloaded 8 WU, as one would expect. Why it only downloaded 4 WU is a mystery to me. I buy these pc because of HT adding so much more to multithreaded apps and, of course, to run more WU on CN. Does anyone have an idea why it did this and how to get it to run all 8 WU as it should? Thx in advance!!
Cheers
Bill

I'm not sure; it may be related to the current server problems.
See the News and Announcement thread at the top of Number Crunching for posts about this.

One other problem that you'll be facing, is that uploads of trickles and zips have been suspended, so you should put all models into Suspension until this is fixed. Set the project to No new tasks first!

Thx Les. It turned out to indeed be a case of the server problems. Over the next hour or so, it sent the remaining 4 WU to my new PC. With the server upload.atm1 down, I now have 17 zip files ready to go and 7 finished WU to clear off the books-so to speak. I had hoped that this server would be running again on Tuesday as it stated earlier on the posts concerning this. Does anyone have any fresh info as to when this server will be back running?
Thanks again Les!!!
Cheers
