Hello,

I want to limit the amount of simultaneously executed calculations.
I dont want to calculate 8 different tasks in super slow motion. I prefer to make them fast and one by one.

Is there any option for that? I didn't found anything...

Thank you in advance =)
have a nice day!

If on the CPU, set preferences Use at most N% of the CPUs to a percentage lower than 100%.
Seeing how you say you run 8 tasks, it's probably an octo-core CPU, so to run 1 or 2 tasks, set the value to 12.5% or 25%.

If on the GPU, you probably have an app_info.xml file or app_config.xml file via which you set this, so the easiest method is to remove said file and to restart BOINC.

Thank you so much! =)
I've just seen the hint when hovered over the option.
