Limiting GPU usage

Posted 11 Feb 2010 by Dezeer Post: So it is possible to run both GPU and CPU through app_info.xml and that way limit gpu usage. For some reason when I tried it last time it gave just errors or didn't run on both. Here is my App_info.xml file. <app_info> <app> <name>milkyway</name> </app> <file_info> <name>astronomy_0.20_x64_SSE3.exe</name> <executable/> </file_info> <app_version> <app_name>milkyway</app_name> <version_num>19</version_num> <file_ref> <file_name>astronomy_0.20_x64_SSE3.exe</file_name> <main_program/> </file_ref> </app_version> <app> <name>milkyway</name> </app> <file_info> <name>milkyway_0.21_windows_x86_64__ati13ati.exe</name> <executable/> </file_info> <file_info> <name>brook64_ati.dll</name> </file_info> <app_version> <app_name>milkyway</app_name> <version_num>21</version_num> <flops>1.0e11</flops> <avg_ncpus>0.05</avg_ncpus> <max_ncpus>1</max_ncpus> <coproc> <type>ATI</type> <count>1</count> </coproc> <cmdline></cmdline> <file_ref> <file_name>milkyway_0.21_windows_x86_64__ati13ati.exe</file_name> <main_program/> </file_ref> <file_ref> <file_name>brook64_ati.dll</file_name> </file_ref> </app_version> </app_info> The first file_info and app_version is for optimized cpu application to change the cpu application, just rename both "astronomy_0.20_x64_SSE3.exe" parts to corresponding exes. The second and third file_info and second app_version is for the ati GPU application. And here you can find the <cmdline></cmdline> where you could put the normal options. |

Posted 24 Jan 2010 by Dezeer Post: What if you Travis add there an feature where the application would read a file where a user could put the options as on app_info.xml <cmdline></cmdline>? |

Posted 23 Jan 2010 by Dezeer Post: I'm using boinc 6.10.29 this release has a "snooze GPU" feature. It might be worth trying. Right click on tray icon, its in the menu there. I have 6.10.29 and I know I can pause GPU work, but can I limit the GPU workload through app_info.xml and still have the ability to use both CPU and GPU and pause GPU work while CPU continues to calculate? |

Posted 23 Jan 2010 by Dezeer Post: So can I somehow get it to work so that BOINC would run both CPU and GPU work and I would have the ability to pause GPU work? From few people posts I got the impression that app_info would make the applications as anonymous platforms and BOINC would deal them as CPU applications hence I would have to pause both CPU and GPU work if I would only want to pause GPU work. The main question is, can I get both of them to run through app_info.xml? |

Posted 22 Jan 2010 by Dezeer Post: I would like to ask is there any option on which I could limit the usage of the milkyway GPU application. I know that the "optimized" GPU program had the ability to set different wait factors and kernel frequency through app_info.xml but there isn't one on default milkyway. |
