Is there any way to simply disabled Milkyway@home from running 1.00 on CPU? I'm perfectly alright with it running 0.05 CPU & 1.00 GPU, but I don't want it to use CPU since it's a gigantic waste of power and potential. I have already set MW@H to not use CPU & to have a "1" resource share, while I set World Community Grid to have a "100" resource share, yet Milkyway@home still runs on the CPU. Please, someone help me with this! I have a Radeon HD 3850 that crunches MW@H packets in ~15 minutes. It pisses me off to see it running on the CPU where one takes >12 hours. |

Are you certain that you have the computer set in the correct venue? Other option would ne to use the anonymous platform to only download GPU work. http://www.arkayn.us/milkyway/Win64_0.23_ati.zip |

If you're using 6.10 Boinc then you can go to 'Your Account', 'MW pref' and change to no cpu work. Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected? If it makes sense, DON'T do it. |

Are you certain that you have the computer set in the correct venue? Quite sure it's already set. I am running official BOINC 6.10.56. Pentium E2140 @ 2.66GHz 3x2GB DDR2-800 Abit IP35-E Radeon HD 3850-256 Windows 7 Pro 64-bit |

Downloaded WUs for CPU before you disabled CPU in the preferences? Looks like you just started crunching again and your first download was 1 WU for CPU and 1 WU for GPU (both 1 Sep 2010 1:52:14 UTC). After that time there are only WUs for GPU in your list. http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/results.php?hostid=209494 |

I decided to unlink my BAM! account to the computer. I'm running a second but I don't have a Radeon HD _800 GPU in it so I can't do MW@H on it. If someone from the local area (ie: Troy) wants to donate one, I'd be glad to take it. :P Anyways, it seems to be mostly sorted out I suppose. I'm clearing that last CPU one right now. My view is "play nice or don't play at all". |
