I am currently running a project using BONIC.

The message "computing suspended CPU is busy" always appears. My laptop has 4 CPU cores. Does BONIC support local parallel computing using multi-core on my laptop?

BOINC supports parallel threading through OpenCL, but then BOINC itself doesn't do any of the science. That's up to the project's science application and it will have to support multithreading. As far as I know, none do at the moment, not on the CPU at least.

The message you see is from when any non-BOINC processes go over the threshold set by the Suspend when non-BOINC CPU usage is above N% preference. Default value is 25% (or running full bore on one core on a four core machine). You may want to change this to something higher, or disable it by setting it to 100%.
