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.

On systems with more than one GPU, this intermittently results in a GPU task being skipped with an error like: "1/27/2021 4:53:58 PM | collatz | [cpu_sched_debug] skipping GPU job collatz_sieve_4404021a-de64-41b2-bbb3-0b8228e66814_0; CPU committed " Workaround that mostly works in my case: Add app_config.xml with project_max_concurrent to limit CPU tasks for any project enough let the GPU tasks get scheduled first. The CPU tasks then typically end up getting skipped instead. (I add project_max_concurrent to Rosetta and world community grid projects, but this isn't a perfect workaround). |
