| [KWSN]Sir Stooper 2010-04-15 05:20:04 | Just started muon1 and I know little to nothing about command line stuff. I understand I can use it to throttle the cpu, but am having trouble getting there. I also run other DC projects (mostly boinc) and want to run muon1 on only one core (25%). So, I tried running the command prompt from the start menu (Win 7) and tried entering moun1 -?, but get the "'muon1' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." And I've tried the 'muon1_cmdline' bat file in my muon folder, but that only starts the application, can't enter anything. Could somebody give a noob some pointers? |

| [KWSN]Sir Stooper 2010-04-16 18:50:22 | Aha! Now I just need to get the right ratio. Could you help me understand what "Threads" refers to. Is that the number of cores to be used on a multi-core system? Or something else? When I throttle CPU down to 25%, it runs muon1 down at about 8 or 9 (according to Task Manager) Maybe I should try Threads=1 and CPU Throttle=100%. |
| Stephen Brooks 2010-04-19 16:49:01 | You should normally set Threads to "auto", then Muon1 will use all the cores it can detect on your system (that includes hyper-threaded cores). |
