    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>
    <plan_class>ati14</plan_class>
    <flops>1.0e11</flops>
    <avg_ncpus>.5</avg_ncpus>
    <max_ncpus>1</max_ncpus>
    - <coproc>
    <type>ATI</type>
    <count>.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

    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

    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.
