Given the discussion from our news here:

http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/forum_thread.php?id=1500

It seems that this works:

<coproc>
<type>ATI</type>
<count>1</count>
</coproc>

and this doesn't work:

<coproc>
<type>ATI</type>
<count>0.5</count>
</coproc>


Would this be a problem with our scheduler code, or something else?
