Worse than a CPU being used at 100% is the case where the CPU is being very lightly used because the system is constantly accessing the swap file (or thrashing). This generates a tremendous slowdown in the machine, and at that BOINC should drop out completely.
Is there any way to detect system thrashing? On all supported systems (I expect the technique to be different for each OS)? jm7 _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
