a8 Core too slow
Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2022 10:42 am
My a8 core is too slow to meet the final report deadline.
CPU usage has been going back and forth between 35~60% all the time and is not at 100%. If I run the a8 core in that state, it is too slow and will miss the final report deadline.
I have been running Folding@home for a little while now, but this has suddenly happened recently. should I abandon the CPU slot and dump the WU that is running now?
(Now I'm running project 16996)
