Because there isn't a way (yet) to set this via the universe_wsgi.ini file. I have asked about this in the past - but can see it is quite complex and often the idea setting is going to be tool specific. Note those setttings hardcoded in the <command> tag control the number of thread in a single job - and I setup my job runners in universe_wsgi.ini to match (e.g. tell SGE I want 8 threads, or an entire machine for this job). Separately to this, in the <parallelism> tag of a tool is a hard coded splitting strategy (if this experimental feature is enabled in your universe_wsgi.ini file) for breaking a job into sub-jobs, which are submitted to the cluster separate. Here again a configuration mechanism could be nice. Peter ___________________________________________________________ Please keep all replies on the list by using "reply all" in your mail client.
