1) Message boards : News : Aliquot sequence 2175894 has terminated!!! (Message 1559)

Post:
I learned what an aliquot sequence is. So did this sequence start with the divisors of 2 million 175 thousand 894 excluding 2,175,894???
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Is it possible to run yafu-4t tasks with 8 cores? (Message 1557)

Try it and let us know. I predict no.
<app_config>
    <app>
        <name>yafu-4t</name>
        <max_concurrent>8</max_concurrent>
    </app>
    <app_version>
        <app_name>yafu-4t</app_name>
        <plan_class>4t</plan_class>
        <avg_ncpus>8</avg_ncpus>
        <cmdline>--nthreads 8</cmdline>
    </app_version>
<app_config>

The big ones use every core they can find if not constrained.

If you want to attempt to tame this beast put this in your app_config:
<app_config>
    <app>
        <name>yafu-32t</name>
        <max_concurrent>1</max_concurrent>
    </app>
    <app_version>
        <app_name>yafu-32t</app_name>
        <plan_class>32t</plan_class>
        <avg_ncpus>32</avg_ncpus>
        <cmdline>--nthreads 32</cmdline>
    </app_version>
</app_config>
Then restart it:
/etc/init.d/boinc-client restart

Post:
What does the "t" signify in yafu-4t and yafu-32t ???
How does one choose the number of CPUs for each type of yafu WU ???
Yo YoYo are you there???
Doesn't anybody know the answer???

Hi YoYo, When you define your own class plans (<plan_class>16t</plan_class> & <plan_class>32t</plan_class>) don't you have to pass the client your plan_class_spec.xml file???
https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/AppPlanSpec

This app_config.xml is not working to control number of threads used:
   <app>
      <name>yafu-16t</name>
   </app>
   <app_version>
      <app_name>yafu-16t</app_name>
      <plan_class>16t</plan_class>
      <cmdline>--nthreads 16</cmdline>
      <nthreads_cmdline>1</nthreads_cmdline>
   </app_version>
   <app>
      <name>yafu-32t</name>
   </app>
   <app_version>
      <app_name>yafu-32t</app_name>
      <plan_class>32t</plan_class>
      <cmdline>--nthreads 32</cmdline>
      <nthreads_cmdline>1</nthreads_cmdline>
   </app_version>
My client_state.xml file says:
<app_version>
    <app_name>yafu-32t</app_name>
    <version_num>13401</version_num>
    <platform>x86_64-pc-linux-gnu</platform>
    <avg_ncpus>40.000000</avg_ncpus>
    <flops>122619847136.720169</flops>
    <plan_class>32t</plan_class>
    <api_version>7.1.0</api_version>
    <cmdline>--nthreads 32</cmdline>
And 32t still takes all 40 CPU threads.

BTW, can't see the check marks in my Yafu Preferences Run only the selected applications.

I think your app_config.xml should be more like:
<app_config>
<app>
<name>yafu-8t</name>
<max_concurrent>4</max_concurrent>
<fraction_done_exact/>
</app>
<app_version>
<app_name>yafu-8t</app_name>
<plan_class>mt</plan_class>
<cmdline>--nthreads 12</cmdline>
<avg_ncpus>12</avg_ncpus>
</app_version>
</app_config>

I suspect <avg_ncpus>12</avg_ncpus> is not needed if <cmdline>--nthreads 12</cmdline> is issued.
Edit: Tried it sans <avg_ncpus> and Yafu wants every thread I've got. Need to include it.
