After experimenting with a number of options, a solution has been found to provide a default limit on the number running work units per host for new volunteers which can be disabled by those who are more experienced.

Once implemented, a new setting will be available in the project preferences (http://lhcathome2.cern.ch/vLHCathome/prefs.php?subset=project) where the Max # jobs can be set. In order to provide this, three steps are required.



Update the project to support the option
Updated everyone's project preferences to set this value to 2 tasks Remove current the project limit




This should be transparent for everyone and only those who wish to receive more tasks will get them once they have changed the value of this new setting. Work on this will start immediately and should be completed within the next few days.

And what about us poor schmucks that have hosts with 1 Core, but others with 64? *sigh* :) Ditto for 1 Gig of RAM versus 256 Gig...
