Is the following cause for concern?
I currently have 3 Astropulse v7 tasks running within the BOINC application. I think this is 2 more than usual & I suspect status is a reflection of those multiples. They are all in status "GPU suspended - computer is in use" while the 4 Seti@home v8 seem to be running fine.
I recently upgraded and am at 7.6.22.
I appreciate any help you can provide.
Happy New Year. Jan

Computer is in use status of the GPU can be checked in either the web preferences here or the local advanced preferences in BOINC Manager for Suspend GPU computing when computer is in use. Check/uncheck as you want.

If you're not running with an application configuration app_config.xml file stating otherwise, only one Astropulse v7 should be running on the GPU at a time. The rest should be in either Ready to start (for unstarted tasks) or Waiting to run (for tasks that ran a bit already but since stopped running) status.

Thanks Jord.
I modified the web settings & Updated my BOINC Manager session & now everything looks as if it is running (or waiting to run.) FYI I could not find the same In Use attribute on the local settings.
Thanks again for the help. Jan

FYI I could not find the same In Use attribute on the local settings.

Third option under When to suspend, but only available in Advanced view.

Local preferences override web based preferences.
