I think you want to set local_job_queue_workers instead or set the number on the local job runner plugin element in the newer job_conf.xml style configuration - the task runner delegates to the underlying job runners once it has split out the tasks. The parameter you were setting I am guessing just determines the number of threads used to split up tasks, not run them. -John On Thu, Nov 7, 2013 at 9:17 AM, Jorrit Boekel <jorrit.boekel@scilifelab.se> wrote:

Hi list,

I would need a memory refresher about tasked jobs. When testing some larger analyses on a local installation, I thought the local_task_queue_workers setting in universe_wsgi.ini would be the limiting factor for how many tasks can be executed at the same time. In our setup, it is currently set to 2. However, 5 tasks are run simultaneously, leading to memory problems.

Am I overlooking something that anyone knows of?

cheers, jorrit boekel
