Hmm...

I've setup another System, this time a Dual AthlonMP 2000+ running Linux.

But even with my preferences updated to allow BOINC to take 2GB of Disk Space, it downloaded only one CPDN WorkUnit.

Top shows the CPU Utilization at 100% only for one CPU, the other remains idle (?)

Is BOINC V4.09 possibly unable to utilize the 2nd CPU (despite the Preference setting set to "On multiprocessors, use at most: 2 Processors" ) ??

IMHO, it should have detected the 2nd, idle CPU, and downloaded a 2nd Workunit, and run 2 Models parallel.

-- update --
The Box just got SETI up and running on the Idle CPU, so it seems BOINC prefers to share CPU's among different projects, rather than having 2 CPU's running one and the same one (?)

Yes it should.

No it shouldn't ;-)

I have a dual MP running Windows XP with boinc 4.05 and boinc detects both CPUs and downloads two workunits. Did you originally have 1 CPU or are they modded XPs? Have you tried updating climateprediction.net on the project tab?

I think your problem probably has something to do with the disk capacity preferences, seeing as a SETI workunit is a lot smaller than a climateprediction one.

Funnily I have exactly the opposite problem. I have both SETI and climatepredition workunits downloaded (only a single CPU Windows XP PC) with both set to 50%, but the SETI project never gets any CPU time...

Hi FalconFly,

nice to meet you here ;-)

With BOINC 4.05 their was a known "bug", that the resourceShare for CPDN had to be higher than 50%. Only then the CPDN-WU for the second Prozessor had been downloaded.

It was discussed <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=191#1043">here</a>

Hope this helps, Greetings

Supporting <b>BOINC</b>, because it is really a <b>great concept !</b>

Hi Yeti :)

Well, due to me attaching multiple Projects, the 2nd CPU is utilized normally now and works flawless.

I reckoned my global setting of "Keep enough work / Contact Server every 1 day" might have resulted in it downloading only one Model initially.
