Message 64771 - Posted: 29 Jun 2016, 16:05:52 UTC

It's a while ago when i crunched Milkyway as a main project. I left when more than 20% of the wu's failed and the computer hang due to driver resets.
I checked it out now and found a stable project on duty. But i am completely out with the setup to run more than one wu at a time. GPU-workload is at ~97% and ok, but the gap between the wu's is far too long compared to the runtimes.
So my question: has anyone a setup at hands how to run 2 wu's simultanously?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, works for the MW@Home1.36, but does not work for the Modified Fit.
Which changes are required?
