Hi folks,

I would like to configure one of my systems to crunch GPU only (no CPU) tasks, but other systems should be able to crunch both GPU and CPU. The cc_config.xml file has an 'exclude_gpu' option, but no 'exclude_cpu' option. Is there a way to configure each system separately to exclude CPU crunching ?

Thanks,

Tom

Don't need to mess with any file at all. Use the switches on your SETI@home preferences page: set up two different 'venues', and assign the 'GPU only' computer to a non-CPU using venue.

Yep, you need to set it up on the site and move the appropriate machines over to the venues.

Set up one of the other 3 options to not do CPU and then go into your computer details page and at the bottom will be the selection menu.

Thanks for the feedback.

Just a note: for my computer I can select a profile named 'mobile'. This seemed most appropriate for my Android device over on Beta, but there is no way to configure this profile in the account settings (just home/work/school there). Same thing over here on regular Seti. I use the 'work' profile now so its no big deal, but maybe someone should fix the inconsistency.

Ah. The 'mobile' venue was added in the expectation people might like to use it for Android devices, but never fully implemented. I agree, it would be less confusing if it was hidden completely until ready for prime-time.

The other four are good to use, and there's no necessity to use the pre-set labels for computers that match those particular descriptions.
