    I think to not have a little computer (i7-2600K and 8GB RAM)
    Is it normal that Einstein take 580Mb RAM per WU ??? Five hundred eighty megabytes per WU)
    If I reduce the available memory to 60%, then one or more WU are waiting RAM !

      Unfortunately, Einstein tasks do require that much memory.  The choice for the developers was either use sufficient memory or not be able to perform the analysis at all in any sort of reasonable time frame.

      Just set your BOINC preferences to cut back on the number or cores allowed to be used if this is causing problems for you.

       

      Cheers,
      Gary.
