There is by default 100 slots available for WUs to service the Feeder/Schedular work fetch/flow of WUs. The number of slots can be raised in server side BOINC config, but this appears to hit a wall in that the slots are serviced from Server shared memory which is finite. Increase the slots by any meaningfull number and the server crashes due to shared memory resource being exceeded.

Anyone know of a way to increase the number of slots significantly abvove 100 and not crash the server due to OpSys shared memory limitations ?

Regards

You would have to reconfigure or maybe recompile your kernel to increase the maximum shared memory size.
