Clearly im missing a trick here...

Checking some users via the stats system, Its clear to see some members have for example 8 cores, yet have 100 plus tasks in progress... so how are they doing it?

Max amount of WU's someone can get from LHC is 24 unless they have more than 24 cores, so how have these users with less than 24 cores got over 100 tasks?

For me no trick. For a 14-core system I've a work-preference created allowing only SixTrack and had set

Max # jobs No limit
Max # CPUs No limit

and got 12 tasks on first request and another 13 tasks on second request.

I have an I7 chip in my machine that is a 4 core processor and utilizes 8 threads, 2 for each processor. Each thread is capable of receiving 14 work units. Thus allowing me to receive 112 tasks when running a full load. Not bad for a 4 core processor! Pick

not quite following how this works Robert?!?!

4 cores... thread for each core so that's 2 threads per core so that's 8 useable cores??

Just to say , It seems there is a bug about the date in your tasks list.
