It's a while ago when i crunched Milkyway as a main project. I left when more than 20% of the wu's failed and the computer hang due to driver resets. I checked it out now and found a stable project on duty. But i am completely out with the setup to run more than one wu at a time. GPU-workload is at ~97% and ok, but the gap between the wu's is far too long compared to the runtimes. So my question: has anyone a setup at hands how to run 2 wu's simultanously? Thanks in advance! |

I have been running 2 units at a time on my hd6950. I use an app_config.xml file in the folder. \ProgramData\BOINC\projects\milkyway.cs.rpi.edu_milkyway Contents of file for the MilkyWay@Home application is: <app_config> <app> <name>milkyway</name> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>0.5</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> </app_config> |

Thanks, works for the MW@Home1.36, but does not work for the Modified Fit. Which changes are required? |

<app> <name>milkyway_separation__modified_fit</name> <max_concurrent>2</max_concurrent> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>0.01</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> </app_config> complete, it d look about like this: <app_config> <app> <name>milkyway</name> <max_concurrent>4</max_concurrent> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>0.01</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> <app> <name>milkyway_separation__modified_fit</name> <max_concurrent>4</max_concurrent> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>0.01</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> </app_config> just adjust numbers to your liking and you are good to go |
