How to config madmax to use specific threads? For example, I have 12 threads and want it to skip 0 and 1. If I run -r 10 it will use 0-9.

HI @electroboyz ,

Are you using Windows?

Here is a video with answer to your question, assuming you are on Windows:

4

Yes I am on Windows but I need a command line.

5

To get a command line in Windows 10 right click the start button and select Windows Power Shell.

6

He is not asking how to open power shell but for command. Sometimes silence is the gold.

yeah that’s the way, you don’t really care is it 0-1 threads or 10-11th. It’s all very conditionally, but if you have to free up some CPU time for other tasks then yeah… don’t use one/two cores (two/four threads) for plotting.

8

Power shell is the command line. How do you get to the command line?

Your silence is gold comment is very apt.

9

He was asking for the command!!! You should start taking your time to think before saying something.

10

You can be sure I will never help you again.

Then nothing will change.

I found this using “start” command (did not check myself through):

Basically you need to make a binary definition of which cores you want to use, and then convert it to a hexadecimal number. For example, if you have 8 logical cores, to use all of them, the binary number will be: 11111111. If you want to skip core 0 and 1, then: 11111100

Convert it to hex: 11111100 = FC

This one should work too but it’s quite complicated
