I recompiled the client and hard coded 10,000 cpus, so as to get a decent cache in case of server problems, but it's topping out at 96 WU.

There is an option in the project config.xml file -

<max_ncpus>N</max_ncpus> - An upper bound on NCPUS (default: 16)

Would the admins consider upping this limit so that those who want to can use this method of increasing the cache so that more work can be done?

On my 4 GPU system, I need 5530 cpus to get a 3-day cache.

Like that will happen. If they wanted you to have 5000+ wus or a 3 day cache they would set it to do that.

If it makes sense, DON'T do it.

Oooh so cynical :-) , I suppose that's better than gullible..

You mean to say they are deliberately slowing the pace for some reason? Implying they have a vested interest in delaying the project?

Not my intent. The 'you' was ment is general terms not you personally. It would make more sense for them to change project side if they wanted hundreds or thousands of wus per system.

The project wants the results to be as relevant as possible by not alotting large amounts of wus to be downloaded at once. The parameters change as the search progresses. A year or so ago there was talk about gpu wus upto 100x larger but that seems to have fizzled. (there is even a MW GPU site)
