Currently a Milkyway@Home project says Running(4 CPUs) but when viewing the system load only one core is running at 100% while the other three are idle, the core with 100% use switches every several seconds (load balancing or something im assuming) why is this process claming its using 4 cpus but only using one? no other tasks can run while this one is since it is claming that it is going to be using all four cores. To me it would appear that it is supposed to use all four but the task isnt properly multithreaded? any ideas how i can address this issue?

Are you writing as a user, or a project developer?

Judging by the volume of complaints about N-Body for Windows on the Milkyway message boards, they are in urgent need of a developer - sadly, this isn't something an end-user can fix. But you could add a "me too" for Linux to the existing bug reports.

No button, I'm afraid. But you could paste your original question into
