1) Questions and Answers : Windows : Single GPU Task for dual GPU PCs? (Message 7071) Posted 2 Apr 2016 by Art3 Post: Hi Mikey and thanks for the post. I changed my cc_config file to the following to include your suggestion: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <cc_config> <log_flags /> <options> <fetch_on_update>1</fetch_on_update> <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus> <client_download_url>http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php</client_download_url> <client_version_check_url>http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php?xml=1</client_version_check_url> <network_test_url>http://www.google.com/</network_test_url> <http_transfer_timeout>300</http_transfer_timeout> <http_transfer_timeout_bps>10</http_transfer_timeout_bps> <max_event_log_lines>2000</max_event_log_lines> <max_file_xfers>8</max_file_xfers> <max_file_xfers_per_project>8</max_file_xfers_per_project> <ncpus>14</ncpus> <rec_half_life_days>10</rec_half_life_days> <save_stats_days>30</save_stats_days> <exclude_gpu> <url>http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu</url> <device_num>1</device_num> <type>NVIDIA</type> <app>einsteinbinary_BRP4G</app> </exclude_gpu> <exclude_gpu> <url>http://moowrap.net/</url> <device_num>1</device_num> </exclude_gpu> <exclude_gpu> <url>http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu</url> <device_num>1</device_num> <type>NVIDIA</type> <app>einsteinbinary_BRP6</app> </exclude_gpu> </options> </cc_config> I then Read the config files, suspended all GPU projects, resumed MOO, and immediately got 3 tasks. All 3 said they require 2 Nvidia GPUs, and none of them started computing even though both GPUs were free. Removing the MOO GPU exclusion and Reading the config files immediately started one MOO task on 2 GPUs. Also, previously I had created an app_config for MOO that limited MOO to one concurrent project, but that didn't change the 2 GPUs per task: <app_config> <app> <name>dnetc</name> <max_concurrent>1</max_concurrent> </app> </app_config> So it seems that MOO tasks always use 2 GPUs, which I can manage manually if necessary.

(Message 7052) Posted 25 Mar 2016 by Art3 Post: I use two GPUs for several BOINC tasks, but have only been able to receive MOO! tasks that require two GPUs. Is there a way to get single GPU MOO! tasks when BOINC is set to use two or more GPUs? Thanks for any suggestions.
