1) Message boards : Number crunching : Each core only used at 1.5% or less? (Message 5890)

Thanks for replying everyone. I didn't realize the bottleneck was caused by the E-cores.

I'm leaving this here in case it helps anyone else.

I was suggested to run Process Lasso to ID which are E-cores on my system. I found out those are 16 through 19. After I did that, I used my regular (free) process manager (Process Hacker) to deselect them for the BHSpin executable Affinity, leaving 0-15 for it, and setting process priority to High.

Poof: all of a sudden every task is running at full speed and I'm showing 80% CPU utilization. (And I now need to go rebalance my system fan profile.)

Hello! I've been crunching on U@H for a few weeks on Win10. In all that time whenever I check CPU utilization, I see each running task occupies one core, and each core is utilized at between 0.5 and 1.5% on average.

The tasks are all "BHspin2_20_windows_x86_64.exe"

In total that means I stay at about 20 to 25% CPU utilization. These tasks take about 10 hours to complete on average.

Is this normal or do I need to tweak something? I have an Intel I7-12700F.

Thanks!
