Development for LHC@home

I have no problems when i crunch 3/4 wus at the same time.
I try to run more wus (7) and i have this error after 10 minutes:

Is an hw "limitation" of my pc? Maybe the usage of ram or the speed of SSD??

No, get also only 4 Task.

It's a pity.
My 16 cores could be useful at full load

I'm running the VBox-version with 10 tasks concurrently, No issues; very rarely I get the error: "VM Heartbeat file specified, but missing."
In the past I even tested 20 at the same time, where we were testing the multi-attach vdi.
Do you have set in your project preferences the Max # CPUs to "No limit"?

Yes.

But the problem is not the download, is crunching all the wus at the same time (without errors).
I will re-try when i have some times to control the machine during the simulations.

2. PC Win11pro with docker running now:

Yes, four Tasks parallel. Change in prefs is not possible.

Just for testing:

On a 4-core machine with 2 BOINC instances.
So it seems not to be a docker limit.

No problem to have 6 tasks running concurrently on 1 BOINC instance:

Now it works, 15 wus on the same time run correctly on my Windows pc.
I've changed nothing...
