if i'm running AP on GPU and attempting to run AP on CPU i can't fill up my CPU as two cores remain idle. my system is set to use a full CPU core per AP GPU work unit. so on a three GTX 680 rig i can only run six AP work units, six on my gpu and none on my CPU. if i have MB work for my CPU then it will run two work units on the remaining cores, but will not run available AP work for the CPU. on a two GTX 480 rig, i run four GPU AP work units and two AP CPU work units, and if available two CPU MB work units.



here is my app_config.xml file:
<app_config>
<app>
<name>setiathome_v7</name>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>0.5</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>

<app>
<name>setiathome_enhanced</name>
<max_concurrent>6</max_concurrent>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>0.5</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>

<app>
<name>astropulse_v6</name>
<max_concurrent>6</max_concurrent>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>.50</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>1.0</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>

</app_config>

Sounds like it is doing what you said rather than what you want. The max concurrent setting applies to both cpu and gpu tasks with the same short name, so 6 on the gpu's leaves no room for 2 more cpu tasks. Take out the max concurrent line or change it to 8.

I removed "max_concurrent" and that fixed it, thank you Fred E.
