Force full (100%) CPU utilization on BOINC via boinccmd line utility


I'm running a cloud instance of BOINC and am able to interact with it only via boinccmd over SSH, but I am only seeing CPU utilization remain at 10%.

Resources online for boinccmd don't detail how to set CPU limits. Can anyone assist?


Solution

  • Per @tonysdg's comment, the resolution was in setting <max_ncpus_pct>100.000000</max_ncpus_pct> in global_prefs_override.xml and then forcing the client to re-read preferences with boinccmd --read_global_prefs_override.
