Am I to assume that when running the OPT APP for a CPU I will only get work for the CPU and not the GPU even if I have capable GPU's installed?

Thanks,
Mike

The app_info usually only specifies one application in the definition. If it is the app for the CPU, it will only list that app and that is all it will request work for.

Thanks for the info.

I installed the OPT APP for my CPU and all is working fine, but I'd like to utilize my Nvidia 295 also. Is there a application I can install to get work units for it also?

Thanks,
Mike

You can combine the contents of the app_info of both cpu and gpu like what I did before in collatz.

Open the gpu app_info (or cpu app_info) and delete the last line </app_info>. Now open cpu app_info (or gpu app_info), delete the 1st line <app_info>, then copy the contents to the other one (the one where you deleted the last line).

As a sample, heres my collatz app_info:

<app_info>

<app>
<name>collatz</name>
</app>
<file_info>
<name>collatz_2.09_windows_x86_64__ati13ati.exe</name>
<executable/>
</file_info>
<file_info>
<name>brook64_v3_cal13ati.dll</name>
<executable/>
</file_info>
<app_version>
<app_name>collatz</app_name>
<version_num>209</version_num>
<platform>windows_x86_64</platform>
<avg_ncpus>0.050000</avg_ncpus>
<max_ncpus>1</max_ncpus>
<flops>139920000000.000000</flops>
<plan_class>ati13ati</plan_class>
<file_ref>
<file_name>collatz_2.09_windows_x86_64__ati13ati.exe</file_name>
<main_program/>
</file_ref>
<file_ref>
<file_name>brook64_v3_cal13ati.dll</file_name>
<open_name>brook64.dll</open_name>
<copy_file/>
</file_ref>
<coproc>
<type>ATI</type>
<count>1.000000</count>
</coproc>
<cmdline></cmdline>
</app_version>

<app>
<name>collatz</name>
</app>
<file_info>
<name>collatz_2.00_windows_x86_64__sse.exe</name>
<executable/>
</file_info>
<app_version>
<app_name>collatz</app_name>
<version_num>200</version_num>
<platform>windows_x86_64</platform>
<avg_ncpus>1.000000</avg_ncpus>
<max_ncpus>1.000000</max_ncpus>
<flops>2683478561.033724</flops>
<plan_class>sse</plan_class>
<file_ref>
<file_name>collatz_2.00_windows_x86_64__sse.exe</file_name>
<main_program/>
</file_ref>
</app_version>

</app_info>


Note: This is a bit different from the opt app_info found on the collatz web site as it utilizes the file names of the standard apps. The info above was based on the ones generated in the client_state.xml file when I ran the standard apps for the purpose of modifying the cmdline and other settings if necessary.
