Liviu (or Sean), I have been testing the distributed functionality in ECJ14 beta. I have been playing with the number of evaluation threads and the actual number of clients I am starting up. The number of evaluation threads does not seem to have any effect. The master always accepts all the clients that want to register, never refusing any of them or waiting for more. I like this the way it is, but I am wondering what, if any, role evalthreads plays in this version. Also, if I have 10 evalthreads specified, but 20 clients registering, what is the default value of the random seed for those clients which were never specified? Thank you, Istvan
