Was digging through the client stuff and noticed this flag, meant for projects that are primarily not using CPU. Sound familiar? Unfortunately it is currently project wide, i.e. if you've got CPU apps and GPU apps they'd all get flagged non CPU intensive and bad things would ensue.

I was just curious if anyone has looked at the possibility of hacking this client-side, if it's something that gets pushed in the configs or whatnot. Since we're only running 1 flavor of app at a time, if we could do it locally as part of the GPU app install/setup (even if we have to do it manually), I think that'd go a long way towards sorting the ATI scheduling issues until we can get an official fix that has to come from the BOINC client folks. Likewise, since we'd be fooling the client locally, it wouldn't negatively impact the CPU app users.

Just trying to find a shorter term fix than "in 6.8, no 6.10, maybe 6.12 around the end of the year..." which is starting to read like never. Are we out of luck or is this something we can hax0r? :-D

Crunch3r is looking into it right now.

I tried this early on and BOINC only downloaded 1 MW wu at a time, which wasn't very usefull. FreeHAL use this flag and are able to get multiple wu's running - but not cached.

Very good Sir J!
I really hope Crunch3r can do something with this. I got alot of faith in him. He's very good on the client side.

Sure.. He can... ;)

BOINC FAQ Service (Ahora, también disponible en Español/Now available in Spanish)

Here's a screenshot of the CAL Boinc client running ABC@Home along with Milkyway using a modified app_info.xml

<app_version>
  <app_name>milkyway</app_name>
  <version_num>19</version_num>
    <flops>1.0e11</flops>
    <avg_ncpus>0.25</avg_ncpus>
    <max_ncpus>1</max_ncpus>
<coproc>
<type>CAL</type>
<count>1</count>
</coproc>

Now i need to figure out a way to make it start more than one CAL app ...

News about the client will be posted HERE

I will love to have that Manager once it is released.
