when running GPU units I notice it uses .985 CPU but looking at the CPU time it will be very low and the GPU is doing 95 % of the real work . is their a way to reduce the cpu amount ? to allow another Boinc project extra CPU usage

Robby1959-

Place the text below in a file named app_config.xml and place it in the /BOINC/projects/milkyway.cs.rpi,edu_milkyway folder. (I hope I typed that correctly.)

Modify to fit your situation.

Restart the Boinc Manager. Note that the text next to task name in the BOINC Manager that shows the cpu and gpu usage will be correct only for units downloaded after you restarted the Boinc Manager.


<app_config>

<app>
<name>milkyway</name>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>0.49</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>0.05</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>

<app>
<name>milkyway_separation__modified_fit</name>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>0.49</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>0.05</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>

</app_config>
