That's the sort of thing I'm thinking about - but unfortunately, we have several users (who might be running several compilations each), so to use that sort of throttling would require some nifty scripting to pick up a new project per run; I'm not sure how to create that uniqueness yet. But this is the sort of ugliness I'm toying with..., :-) > You also mentioned that this was "well into the iterator".

I can't easily change the invocation sequence; Quartus is separating the jobs & dispatching each one to the grid. So if I let them all go without dependency settings, a couple of runs will completely swamp the grid for several hours, and no-one else can run anything. If I limit each user, that user becomes idle as soon as he's committed a run to the grid (won't be able to run anything else). It isn't pretty, is it?
