Hi,
so now we have come to the era of multi-core processors, many of which are multi-thread also. That means multi WUs will be crunched on this new or future machines. How to deal with the demand & not compromise the computer, science done in WUs & keep people happy?
My suggestion is to make a "programable app_confix.xml in install" of WCG version of BOINC.

Why?
To this day we know that some problems arrise on crunching several CEP2 together, those with HDD data reading/recording.

Example?

<app_config>
  <app> 
    <name>mcm1</name>
    <user_friendly_name>Mapping Cancer Markers</user_friendly_name>
    <max_concurrent>3</max_concurrent>
  </app>
  <app> 
    <name>cep2</name>
    <user_friendly_name>The Clean Energy Project - Phase 2</user_friendly_name>
    <max_concurrent>1</max_concurrent>
  </app>
  <app>
    <name>fahv</name>
    <user_friendly_name>FightAIDS@Home - Vina</user_friendly_name>
    <max_concurrent>3</max_concurrent>
  </app>
  <app>
    <name>ugm1</name>
    <user_friendly_name>Uncovering Genome Mysteries</user_friendly_name>
    <max_concurrent>3</max_concurrent>
  </app>
    <app>
    <name>oet1</name>
    <user_friendly_name>Outsmart Ebola Together</user_friendly_name>
    <max_concurrent>3</max_concurrent>
  </app>
</app_config>

How we do it?
Lets say we have a computer with number N of cores & M number of procesors. So app_config.xml is going to be written by calculating:

<app_config>
  <app> 
    <name>mcm1</name>
    <user_friendly_name>Mapping Cancer Markers</user_friendly_name>
    <max_concurrent>N-1</max_concurrent>
  </app>
  <app> 
    <name>cep2</name>
    <user_friendly_name>The Clean Energy Project - Phase 2</user_friendly_name>
    <max_concurrent>M</max_concurrent>
  </app>
  <app>
    <name>fahv</name>
    <user_friendly_name>FightAIDS@Home - Vina</user_friendly_name>
    <max_concurrent>N-1</max_concurrent>
  </app>
  <app>
    <name>ugm1</name>
    <user_friendly_name>Uncovering Genome Mysteries</user_friendly_name>
    <max_concurrent>N-1</max_concurrent>
  </app>
    <app>
    <name>oet1</name>
    <user_friendly_name>Outsmart Ebola Together</user_friendly_name>
    <max_concurrent>N-1</max_concurrent>
  </app>
</app_config>

This is only a preliminary suggestion. Would like to hear more from the staff & community?
