I want to run a task in 8 or 16 threads instead of a thread per task, how do I do that

It is possible only if the tasks are written so they may be run in more than just one thread. AFAIK no Einstein tasks can do so.

If you are running such tasks (such as ATLAS or CMS from LHC), you need to create an app_config.xml file in the appropriate directory, eg (for LHC) /var/lib/boinc/projects/lhcathome.cern.ch_lhcathome/

How to set up such a file is discussed here: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Client_configuration#Project-level_configuration If you ever encounter such a project, and need help setting up the app_config.xml file, look me up either here or on LHC@Home, and I'll go through it with you. It's actually very simple and easy to understand.

But you only have to do that

But you only have to do that with Linux and with Windows there is no directory work and you just tell it to do that in your account *Preferences for this project*

Preferences or directories

Preferences or directories are beside the point.  You can't run ANY Einstein task as multithreaded since NO Einstein app is coded for that behavior.

You can't do anything about that in any preference or directory setting.

As Ian posted in the 1st reply.

Nope, it isn't possible.
