Ah yes, this was local_job_queue_workers and cluster_job_queue_workers in universe.ini thank you very much, ido On Jul 24, 2013, at 5:10 PM, James Taylor <james@jamestaylor.org> wrote:

use_threadpool and threadpool_workers specify the number of threads for handling web requests and have nothing to do with job running.

Hi,

what is the relationship between workers defined in universe and job_conf.xml? e.g.:

[server:handler0] use = egg:Paste#http port = 9092 host = 127.0.0.1 use_threadpool = true threadpool_workers = 5

<plugins workers="4"> <!-- "workers" is the number of threads for the runner's work queue. The default from <plugins> is used if not defined for a <plugin>. --> <plugin id="local" type="runner" load="galaxy.jobs.runners.local:LocalJobRunner"/> <plugin id="drmaa" type="runner" load="galaxy.jobs.runners.drmaa:DRMAAJobRunner" workers="10"/> </plugins>

a) do I have to specify the sum of the workers in job_conf.xml in universe? e.g. 4 local, 10 drmaa => 14 threadpool_workers per handler? Or is universe overridden by job_conf.xml?

b) How many concurrent jobs can I then expect to have concurrently? 14 per handler?

thank you very much, ido
