Description
Posted by: timeros Date: 8:50 PM 04-05-2006 I would like to see a way (possibly a menu with options) from where the user can easily change the number of CPUs BOINC should use. Now the user has to exit BOINC, change the global prefs file and then restart BOINC. I think this will be useful for servers that are running BOINC - the user will be able to stop some of the CPUs for BOINC during the day and use all CPU power at night for example.
Posted by: john Date: 5:44 AM 04-06-2006 Changing this preference via the website is probably slightly easier than the procedure you are using. However I would also like to see a tab or something in the manager for changing settings locally and globally. The back end for that is there it just needs someone to program the interface for the manager.
This should now be taken care of with the Advancanced Preferences Dialog.
