Dynamic (automatic) adjustment of Folding Power

[Lightwreather]

PRetty much what the title says. I'm looking for someway that I can automaticaly change the folding power level. For example, When I'm using my PC (Hackintosh in this case), I want the F@H to be using only ~50% of my CPU, but when it's idle, I want it to use 100%. Is there any way?

that would require F@H to pause folding on a couple threads, but keep running on the rest.

since the CPU slot runs a WU on all assigned threads at once, this cannot work. The only way is to either keep it running, or pause the CPU slot entirely if you want to do something else.

You can change the number of threads assigned to a CPU on the fly but you’ll need to use a pair of batch files or Power Shell Scripts.

 

I wrote a post here a couple of years ago about this.
