Thanks Richard, edited now

That is likely to work very well for Cuda applications - though it would be more conventional (but not essential) to use a cuda50 plan_class with the cuda50 application.

Users of OpenCL applications are likely to want to make different choices.

With my V8-Xeon I used always
<avg_ncpus>0.040000</avg_ncpus>
<max_ncpus>0.040000</max_ncpus>

with no Problems. It was possible to run seti on all available cpu's.
In my case 8 cpu's

Hello mighty overlords of a several cores system with more than 3 GPUs...what are the setting you are using on your app_config.xml..?

Mine at the moment is

<app>
<name>setiathome_v8</name>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>0.33</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>0.5</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>

And...is this the only place for optimizing the balance between the cores/GPU or are there any other parameters you would tweak a little..?

Thank you

A.
