WU Restrictions
WU Restrictions
Can anyone tell me how I might restrict the number of concurrent WUs that my client works on at any one time (overall / per project). Every time I allow MilkyWay to grab some more work it gets a little overzealous and starts trying to crunch away on 8 or so WUs which tends to be a bit much for my machine. Can I change a setting in a config file somewhere to force MW to only work on say 2-3 WUs at a time?

If you're crunching MW on an ATI GPU, then although it looks like they're all running, only 3 (by default) will be actually running.Dan wrote:Can anyone tell me how I might restrict the number of concurrent WUs that my client works on at any one time (overall / per project).

Have a look at the readme file that came with the ATI opti app and it will explain how to change the number of running processes but AFAIK they will all still appear to be running

Re: WU Restrictions
Ah thanks, that's what I was getting at... I'd been playing with it and I was certain that they were running faster when I manually disabled the 'inactive' jobs. Perhaps I was just seeing what I wanted to see.Temujin wrote:If you're crunching MW on an ATI GPU, then although it looks like they're all running, only 3 (by default) will be actually running.Dan wrote:Can anyone tell me how I might restrict the number of concurrent WUs that my client works on at any one time (overall / per project).
