Hello everyone, Week ago I was faced with problems with ECM task (part of YOYO home project). This task totally kills my PC by allocating all avaible memory, so performace reduces split-second and computer became totally unusable. Right now, BOINC is switched off. I've tried to reinstall it but no way. Any solutions for this problem? Thank you in advance! |

Week ago I was faced with problems with ECM task (part of YOYO home project). Seems it has been reported: Wir benötigen eine Option zur Verhinderung der ECM-Monster (We need an option to prevent ECM monsters) LINK >>> https://www.rechenkraft.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=16587& Suggest you TRANSLATE the Yoyo page text - unless you can read German. As for Uninstall/Reinstalling BOINC that will NOT fix the problem. |

Thank you lads for your help. I've created app_config.xml file for ECM task with such contenst: <app_config> <app> <name>ecm</name> <max_concurrent>1</max_concurrent> </app> </app_config> And it works, it limits ECM only for one task simultaneously (it allocates about 4gB of RAM with is acceptable). Thanks for the tips! |
