The BOINC Manager runs natively on Apple Silicon, but my BOINC projects are running via Rosetta.

Hi,

I'm using BOINC on a Macbook Air with M1 SOC. As this computer has no fan, it would be better, if tasks would only running on efficiency cores, to avoid heating. So I propose to offer a checkbox "Run only on efficiency cores" in the calculation settings. This option could also be usefull for iPads.

To avoid heat I've selected 20% CPU time, but I've observed BOINC is using the cores in full load for 20% time and then wait 80% some time till the next full load time. Would if be possible to use the CPU "constantly" with the define percentage?

I this the right forum? If not, whom shall I address?

Kind regards
Frank
