Hello, I've got LODA working but the Boinc client seems to be downloading both arm64 and x86 tasks.

Boinc is probably reporting (correctly) that it can run both types but how would I force it to only request arm64 tasks?

I do run other projects that are x86 only so a LODA specific setting would be preferred.

Thanks,

Wood

For MacOS, these two platforms are supported: x86_64-apple-darwin, arm64-apple-darwin
Sorry, don't know how to enforce only one type on multi-arch processors.

Seems to be pulling down 100% arm64 tasks now, the client-side might eventually figure out which arch completes in the shortest time?

There's probably a client side xml config setting to hard-code an arch, if it starts going back to x86_64 I'll investigate further
