Hi,

I have had my remote server upgraded, so it now has 2*X5650. The provider has confirmed they can see 2x5650 in bios. However, boinc is still only seeing 24 cores.

I am only running WCG, and preferences at website is set to 100% processors and 'use at most 480 processors"

Running ubuntu 14.04.3. Have rebooted several times.

How do I make boinc see the other cpu so I can run 48 cores?

Are you 100% certain ubuntu gives you full access to these new processors.

For example Cannot use all the cpu's on my dual Xeon workstation

As far as I know, X5650 has 6 physical cores and 12 threads (12 visible cores in BOINC). Two X5650's would have 24 cores in BOINC. Why would there ever be 48 cores?
