Just a note that this is on a quad-core machine (Xeon 5507, 4-cores, no hyper-threading). It may or may not have an effect on the reported problem.

The relevant entry is: <app> <app_name>Fokker_Planck</app_name> <total_limit> <jobs>2</jobs> </total_limit> </app> Which is meant to make sure only 2 jobs are downloaded to the volunteer computer. What actually happens is that the client downloads 4 jobs (first 2, and then another scheduler request is send and another 2 are downloaded). I tried <cpu_limit> too, but it didn't change anything. BTW there is no <project> tag in this file. The relevant entries in config.xml (which I assume are being ignored when config_aux.xml is present) are: <one_result_per_user_per_wu> 1 </one_result_per_user_per_wu> <max_wus_in_progress> 1 </max_wus_in_progress> <max_wus_in_progress_gpu> 1 </max_wus_in_progress_gpu> <gpu_multiplier>1</gpu_multiplier> <cuda_multiplier>1</cuda_multiplier> So nothing there could cause 4 workunits to be downloaded. Any idea how I can enforce the desired behaviour? -Kamran _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address. _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
