I often get tasks for 0.2, or 0.4 or 0.8 CPUs. This is annoying because this causes many of them to try loading themselves. Often they then run out of memory, or they ignore CPU limits and all try to run simultaneously. How can I prevent myself from getting these partial CPU tasks?

This problem is mentioned here and not yet solved, it seems.

Using an app_config.xml with <avg_ncpus>1</avg_ncpus> is a workaround to solve the issue for you personally.

Thank you. I did search for mention of this, but did not find it. I will explore the solution with an app_config.
