I don't have a real answer but like you I'm allocating .5 CPU per wu on the I7. The real reason there is to keep the memory hog Constellation from running more than 6 threads.
When they 1st came out with the new app it was almost a requirement to allocate that much(or more) but since the .62 app came out I imagine that is much higher than it needs to be.

I don't allocate any CPUs to feed the GPUs since 0.62. Wouldn't make sense running 4 WUs per GPU that way. I haven't cross checked my crunch times though. But they seem to be fine. BoincTasks says about 1-2 sec. CPU time per GPU minute.
Re: Is anyone running 2 WUs anymore?
Wanted to get in on the double points, but I think I screwed up when creating a new App_info.xml file. Can anyone spot my screw up?
- <app_info>
- <app>
<name>milkyway</name>
</app>
- <file_info>
<name>milkyway_seperation_0.82_windows_x86_64_ati1 4.exe</name>
<executable />
</file_info>
- <app_version>
<app_name>milkyway</app_name>
<version_num>82</version_num>

Re: Is anyone running 2 WUs anymore?
That code had a few typos all fixed.
Code:
<app_info>
<app>
<name>milkyway</name>
</app>
<file_info>
<name>milkyway_seperation_0.82_windows_x86_64_ati14.exe</name>
<executable/>
</file_info>
<app_version>
<app_name>milkyway</app_name>
<version_num>82</version_num>
<plan_class>ati14ati</plan_class>
<flops>1.0e11</flops>
<avg_ncpus>0.05</avg_ncpus>
<max_ncpus>1</max_ncpus>
<coproc>
<type>ATI</type>
<count>0.5</count>
</coproc>
<file_ref>
<file_name>milkyway_seperation_0.82_windows_x86_64 _ati14.exe</file_name>
<main_program/>
</file_ref>
</app_version>
</app_info>
Edit: If you still have issues with the above code then you could always try arkyns code ---> http://www.arkayn.us/forum/index.php...a=view;down=32
Re: Is anyone running 2 WUs anymore?
Thanks for the info! Seems to be running now.:)

Anyone done this on a Linux system?

Nope, sorry. Although arkayn does have an opti-app for 32bit Linux and 64bit FreeBSD here. So his app should allow for it and he usually has the app_info packaged with them.
