You can't set the max CPU percentage usage, and stuff like that, and it's the same with Folding at home, also a very minimal and simplified client interface. ID: 115074 ·      Reply Quote

Because the applications' menu is actually looks like the system's menu on the very top of your screen. BOINC maintainer. For any insight, check my BOINC Development Blog.

But then a feature request, unless it's already possible. How to disable the efficiency cores, and have BOINC only use the performance cores? This speeds up Folding at home on Mac, if you limit the CPU core use to 4, cause the other 6 are E cores, so it this possible in BOINC on MacOS? ID: 115090 ·      Reply Quote

Maybe there are some other tools on Mac to achieve this but I'm not aware about any of them. BOINC maintainer. For any insight, check my BOINC Development Blog. ID: 115096 ·      Reply Quote
