Development for LHC@home

This new version has a few tweaks to hopefully improve multi-core behaviour.
The app_config.xml file has been removed so it should no longer be distributed. A plan class has been added that amongst other things will increase the memory per core by 50Mb.

Let's see what you created ;)
I first have to return the 8 tasks of the former version customized with my app_config to single core VM's.
The overnight wall clock time during shutdown counting to the elapsed time helps to shutdown the VM's after the current jobs.
When empty, I'll disable my app_config.xml, even restart BOINC and ask for new tasks.

Edit: Can't test, although Server info shows: Theory Simulation Unsent 50

240 vLHCathome-dev 02 Aug 09:49:49 Requesting new tasks for CPU
241 vLHCathome-dev 02 Aug 09:49:51 Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks
242 vLHCathome-dev 02 Aug 09:49:51 No tasks sent
243 vLHCathome-dev 02 Aug 09:49:51 No tasks are available for Theory Simulation

I removed the pan class configuration can am getting jobs again. Will investigate once I have tested the new preferences.

That's probably why I got 1 task again for a 4-cores VM with only 630MB RAM.
4-cores, cause i has set my 8-threaded machine to 50% use of the cores in BOINC.

In the stderr i have 4 jobs missing.
It seems the last few ones of every tasks are not listed.

I already reported that several times and also opened a special thread for it.

Apparently this is being ignored.

Not ignored, just lost in stack of work. I have added it to the task tracker. If you feel something should be on the task tracker, please keep shouting until it gets on there.
