You can modify these files, or create new ones, to study hypothetical scenarios (e.g. hosts with a large number of CPUs, hosts attached to a large number of projects, projects with very short or long jobs, and so on). See The BCE documentation for details.

125 | Jord | 11 Nov 2014 | 1 | Trying a scenario where BOINC runs one project on a GPU, 2 projects on the CPU. One of the projects on the CPU has no work, the other project at RS 0 should ask for work, but doesn't. Seti RS800: GPU. Pirates RS800: CPU. WCG RS0: CPU. |

118 | Jacob Klein | 14 Jun 2014 | 1 | 7.4.0 Work Fetch - Fetches GPU work from 0-resource-share projects even when no GPUs are idle |
117 | Jacob Klein | 11 Jun 2014 | 1 | GPUs idle, but BOINC 7.3.19 not performing work-fetch. Was expecting POEM@Home to be asked for work. |
116 | Jacob Klein | 20 May 2014 | 5 | 7.3.19 Work Fetch is not fetching a task for the idle GPU (GTS 240). I would have expected it to fetch from either Albert/Einstein/SETI/SETIBETA. Could the "Ready to report" Einstein task be causing a problem? |
115 | Darrell | 25 Apr 2014 | 1 | Run with Boinc showing two opencl tasks running on an HD3000 and two running on an HD5850 |

106 | Richard Haselgrove | 9 Jun 2013 | 2 | Interested to see what I can expect from the MilkyWay MT task I have downloaded, with a 12 day deadline and a 4 YEAR estimated runtime. NB I have both app_info.xml and app_config.xml files active in the real world, so this may not proceed exactly as expected. |

102 | Jacob Klein | 16 May 2013 | 4 | 7.1.1 Work Fetch problem: Low buffer settings + GPU Exclusions = GPU left idle (modified client_state.xml so POEM does not get work) |
101 | Jacob Klein | 16 May 2013 | 2 | 7.1.1 Work Fetch problem: Low buffer settings + GPU Exclusions = GPU left idle |
100 | Augustine | 16 May 2013 | 1 | #8362 |
99 | Jacob Klein | 28 Apr 2013 | 1 | John McLeod VII - Insufficient work to keep all CPUs busy (modified by JWK to put CPDN task high-priority - Attempt 1) |
98 | John McLeod VII | 28 Apr 2013 | 2 | Insufficient work to keep all CPUs busy because of a high priority long running single CPU task and a multi CPU task. The single CPU task should be running, but it would be really nice if work fetch could find some work from a single CPU project somehow. NOTE: The last time I checked, if the multi CPU task was deleted, another of the same would be downloaded. This may have changed as SETI has a very high resource share. |
97 | ??? | 12 Apr 2013 | 1 | Try to emulate how gpu_exclusion causes uncontroled work fetching (only PrimeGrid can fetch CPU and/or GPU) |
96 | ??? | 12 Apr 2013 | 3 | Try to emulate how gpu_exclusion causes uncontroled work fetching |
95 | ChristianB | 9 Apr 2013 | 2 | Try to determine the reason for GPU suspension if multi-threaded task runs |
94 | Jacob Klein | 7 Apr 2013 | 3 | Although both GPUs have tasks, one GPU is only half-loaded, yet work fetch decides on not to fetch more work for it in 7.0.60. |
93 | Jacob Klein | 4 Apr 2013 | 4 | 7.0.60 - Possible GPU starvation |
92 | MarkJ | 4 Apr 2013 | 1 | 7.0.60 not honour RS |
91 | Jacob Klein | 4 Apr 2013 | 4 | JWK: Added max_concurrent element to llr321 app. According to x3mEn: 3 of 4 CPUs are used, 1 CPU is free but BOINC doesn't request tasks from others projects. Why? I could understand why BOINC doesn't request tasks from PrimeGrid - because there is already 1 task waiting for concurrent tasks number decreasing. But what's wrong with other projects? |

87 | Jacob Klein | 2 Apr 2013 | 2 | In 7.0.59, when an app_config has cpu_usage set to 2 for a gpu app, and there are 2 tasks of that app running on 1 gpu, the task scheduler leaves a cpu idle. |
86 | Jacob Klein | 28 Mar 2013 | 29 | Another attempt (with new available values) at recreating the CPU project work fetch limitation where Resource Share is not honored due to project-requested project-level backoffs. |

83 | Jacob Klein | 24 Mar 2013 | 2 | Testing to see if Emulator will actually run. |
82 | David Ball | 18 Mar 2013 | 7 | When constellation job is present on machine with nVidia GPU card, boinc client runs 3 cpu jobs on a 2 core machine + 1 nVidia job. If the GPU job is POEM (which uses 1 CPU + 1 GPU), then it runs POEM + 2 CPU jobs. Either way, it's running one extra CPU job. |
81 | Jacob Klein | 17 Mar 2013 | 19 | Yet another attempt. |
80 | Jacob Klein | 17 Mar 2013 | 1 | Another attempt at recreating that bug. |
