Hello!

My boinc-client version is 7.0.27 (Debian 7.0). I want it to use only GPU but not CPU (except for GPU loading) .

My client options:
<options>
<ncpus>0</ncpus>
<use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>
</options>

But it looks like ncpus=0 means 'unlimited'.

Your best bet is to go into Milkyway@Home Preferences select edit and uncheck use CPU.

The next time the manager contacts the project it will receive notice that you no longer want to process on the CPU.
