I have Use NVIDIA GPU set to no. I have a ATI card capable of using the GPU but I don't want to use it. How can I stop BIONIC from asking for GPU work units for the ATI. Its doing that now (see below).

Also just curious is there a shortage of work units at the moment. I don't seem to be getting any for my CPU's very often?

Under the activity menu in Boinc Manager set the Use GPU Never option, that should stop it asking for work for the ATI card.

I have that checked as well but it doesn't seem to be preventing it from asking for tasks for the GPU.

Use the CC_config.xml option
<no_gpus>1</no_gpus>
This will tell BOINC to ignore all of your GPUs, or use <ignore_ati_dev>N</ignore_ati_dev> for the GPU you want to disable if you have an NVIDIA in the machine you want to keep using.

Looking at his results, no ATI card is used only the CPU,
tasks done by CPU.

Very often, one of the CPU cores crunches a 0.25- 0.4AR or higherAR WU, which can be done by GPU, if you have enough of them :)

And most important, there is no stock ATI app., only nVIDIA can be used, or not.

They want to stop BONC requesting work for the GPU. Which can be very annoying to look at in the logs if you do not want to do GPU processing and see 500 lines of "Requesting work for GPU". Unless you tell the client to ignore the GPU it does like to keep making those requests.

The easiest way is just install the CPU optimised apps using the Lunatics Installer 0.37, since there will be no ATI Optimised app installed, Boinc Can't ask for ATI GPU work from Seti,

Claggy

BOINC will likely ask for more WU's, when a CUDA card is detected.
Cc_config.xml, is a working solution, or just do not tick the box, in BOINC and/or your account (web)settings allowing GPU use.

Ok, I'm looking for some help here.

I finally got around to installing the ATi GPU app (thanks Raistmer!) on my machine and it seems to be working fine. I attempted to install it on Michele's and I'm running into a roadblock.

I know that BOINC must not be installed as a service under Windows 7 so that it can detect the GPU, so I uninstalled BOINC on her machine and re-installed it, making sure to un-check the "Protected Application" option.

Yet when I launch BOINC, the messages tab still indicates that it's running as a daemon. Does anyone know how to fix this? I've already uninstalled and rebooted then re-installed twice.

Which version of BOINC? There is some suggestion that the latest test versions (v6.12.16 and v6.12.18) use an updated installShield version which has some quirks in the uninstall department - aka bugs.

Sorry, i don't know much about the service installation, the only thing i can think of is: was the Service stopped before uninstalling?, did you then try rebooting?

I've only been using the official releases, so 6.10.58. I did try installing 6.12.18 to see if it would help, but even that version installed as a service when I told it not to.
