1) plan class is purely a server mechanism; it's relevant to all client versions. If an app_plan function references info that's only reported by certain clients (e.g., GPU list or CPU capabilities) then it will return false (i.e. that app version won't be sent).
2) clients report all the platforms they're capable of handling. E.g. a Win64 client will report Win64 and Win32. In your example, the scheduler will send it jobs for either app. -- David On 08-Dec-2010 9:21 AM, Bernd Machenschalk wrote: > Hi! > > 1.
