Using CPUs and GPUs

Hi all

Another "newbie" type question:

I set up FAH and it is using my GPU at preent...but the CPU is not being used, even though I left one core free (as a trial) for FAH (the other cores are crunching SETI on BOINC).

Also, one does not seem able to be able to configure multiple-CPU cores...there doesn't seem to be a way of tweaking the program to just crunch (say) 2 FAH CPU tasks at once.

Any ideas?

regards
Tim

FAH seems to select different numbers of vCPUs depending on selection of light vs medium vs full. It’s possible to override this; find the ‘slots’ section in the configure menu. Edit the CPU slot and change ‘-1’ to the number of vCPUs you want it to use.
