The default memory usage is 50% when the computer is in use in Computing preferences. I changed "When computer is in use, use at most" to 90 % and fully utilize 10 cores hyperthreaded, 20 tasks.

Using top, tasks seem to peak at about 3.1% of my 32GB or RAM so about 1GB/task. I am running a maximum of 8 tasks at once as my experience with many projects is going into virtual cores can actually slow down throughput. ID: 107 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Es scheint gut zu sein, wenn die Workunits auf Speicher warten, denn wenn sie alle laufen würden, wäre das System wohl überlastet. Systemfreeze ist leider trotz einstündiger Versuche, eine optimale Configruation zu finden, immer noch ein Problem Hat vielleicht jemand Acht Kerne wie ich und kann mir bitte sagen, was die optimale Configuration ist? LODA sollte nicht zum Systemfreeze (Mauszeiger nicht mehr bewegbar) führen und eine normale Nutzung des PCs Youtube plus Brwoser ermöglichen Danke für jegliche Untestützung Schöne Grüße Martin ID: 1006 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
