Hello, how can I set up an app_info or app_config file to a) Receive NBody MT WU's only - no single core b) Receive NO Milkyway WU's for CPU but only for GPU Would be nice to have an option in the preference menu. Thank You Phil1966 |

Hello Phil, because of overheating-problems I wrote the following app_info.xml for my Linux-PC: <app_info> <app> <name>milkyway</name> <user_friendly_name>MilkyWay@Home</user_friendly_name> </app> <app> <name>milkyway_nbody</name> <user_friendly_name>MilkyWay@Home N-Body Simulation</user_friendly_name> </app> <file_info> <name>milkyway_1.46_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu__opencl_nvidia_101</name> <executable/> </file_info> <file_info> <name>milkyway_nbody_1.70_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu__mt</name> <executable/> </file_info> <app_version> <app_name>milkyway</app_name> <version_num>146</version_num> <platform>x86_64-pc-linux-gnu</platform> <avg_ncpus>0.841226</avg_ncpus> <flops>26085160280.017189</flops> <plan_class>opencl_nvidia_101</plan_class> <file_ref> <file_name>milkyway_1.46_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu__opencl_nvidia_101</file_name> <main_program/> </file_ref> <coproc> <type>NVIDIA</type> <count>1.000000</count> </coproc> <gpu_ram>268435456.000000</gpu_ram> <dont_throttle/> </app_version> <app_version> <app_name>milkyway_nbody</app_name> <version_num>170</version_num> <platform>x86_64-pc-linux-gnu</platform> <avg_ncpus>8.000000</avg_ncpus> <flops>4049561889.679832</flops> <plan_class>mt</plan_class> <file_ref> <file_name>milkyway_nbody_1.70_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu__mt</file_name> <main_program/> </file_ref> </app_version> </app_info> You have to modify - the name of the executables if you are using Windows (or the version changes! In this case run BOINC without an app_info.xml first to download the new files.). - the "plan_class"/"type" according to your GPU (the correct values can be found in your client_state.xml). - the values of the "flops" to have right runtime estimations (-> client_state.xml). - the values of "avg_ncpus" (-> client_state.xml). I hope this will work on your machine, too! With greetings NN |
