Hi. I just moved off 4.19 to 4.27 as suggested in another thread. Linux Fedora btw. I have a Boinc process running which is parent to two clients (seti 4.02) both consuming mill time. BOINC Manager shows 2 WUs being processed on the work tab but only 1 WU has any CPU time or progress against it with all other WUs waiting. The ....state....xml file shows the system as a twin processor (its a P4 3.0 HT) as does the benchmark when you run that. Any ideas....I think I got 2 WUs running but not according to BOINC....it seems a little mixed up lol. Happy Easter all.

Maybe you should edit your General Preferences -> Processor usage -> On multiprocessors, use at most xx (in your case 2) processors

HI and thanks ecpa. I tried that but no change. Interestingly having observed it on and off for 24 hours the second WU is running. It does show up after while in the BOINC manager and leaps to 20% or so and then carries on until it completes. After that a new WU is started but it does not show until it has done some 20% of the work. Its a bug for sure!. Thx for coming back - was worth a try.

Yes, was worth a try...at least it seems you are crunching 2 WUs in parallel, even when it doesn't show up. Anyways

HAPPY CRUNCHING :-)
