Hello community!


Is here someone which have always automatically enough CPU + GPU WUs in BOINC for 24/7 (if the server are available ;-)?
Or BOINC have also times, that no CPU or GPU WUs in BOINC?


If both enabled in the prefs, my BOINC get only GPU WUs.
I need to disable GPU in the prefs, DL a few CPU WUs and enable again GPU.


Thanks!


EDIT: I think it's not important, but you have an app_info.xml file or not for MW@h?

Hi,
I have an app_info for the ATI-cards and for n-bodys. If your able to make the necessary changes it will be no problem to post it here.

Hi,

the app_info.xml files are not the prob.. ;-)

My BOINC get CPU WUs only manually (after changing of the prefs to only CPU).
But not automatically simultaneously to the GPU WUs (CPU + GPU in the prefs).

If you're like me, when you turn on CPU WUs, they eventually choke off fetching of GPU WUs, because of the tasks in progress limit. With CPU work taking some two hundred times longer to complete, it can be a long time until the possibility of a GPU unit.

The problem, as I see it, is that the servers don't give separate quotas on CPU and GPU work. We can't work around that on our end.
