So I did a couple of updates tonight:
1. Installed AMD Radeon 16.3.2 update
2. Ran the Lunatics 0.44 installer

and now, I have 6 MB8_win_x64_AVX_VS2010_r3330.exe tasks running, but zero GPU tasks.

I'm not sure what happened, as I was running 6 GPU tasks prior to the update.
I have two R9 280x GPUs and an older 7850.

I checked the boards here (rather quickly) but nothing jumped out.
Did I miss something?

Looks like I may have jumped the gun... I now have 3 GPU work units running.

I guess the update of Lunatics must have dumped my existing work units and there just weren't any GPU work units at first.

Now I just have to remember how to run multiple work units per GPU again... :-)

---

Yep that's what happens when you run Lunatice installer sometimes it dumps all the units .

As a rule always finish what you have in the cache before doing updates and that includes windows updates .

As for doing more than 1 units on your GPU

app_inf.xml

change the <count>?<count> to 1 for 1 unit 0.5 for 2 0.33 for 3 and 0.25 for 4

---

Thanks - everything looks good today.
Cranking 6 CPU work units and 6 GPU units simultaneously.

out of curiosity, which is the better way to run the multiple GPU tasks, the app_info.xml or the app_config.xml.

I've been using app_config.xml with the following:

<app_config>
<app>
<name>astropulse_v7</name>
<max_concurrent>12</max_concurrent>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>.5</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>.5</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>
<app>
<name>setiathome_v7</name>
<max_concurrent>12</max_concurrent>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>.5</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>.04</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>
<app>
<name>setiathome_v8</name>
<max_concurrent>12</max_concurrent>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>.5</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>.04</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>
</app_config>

I've been using app_config.xml with the following:

If you are able to use the app_config.xml (depends on BOINC version) then you are much better off (read; safer) than trying to use the app_info.xml way (trust me). ;-)

Cheers.

Thanks :)

The 'setiathome_v8' GPU tasks appear fine, displaying as:
Running (0.04 CPUs + 0.5 AMD/ATI GPUs)

The occasional Astropulse tasks look odd, since they at displaying 0.5 CPU 1.0 GPU, and I thought they should be 0.5/0.5.

Been awhile since I configured this, so not remembering :)

For the GUI to update correctly you will have to restart BOINC.

Have you set BOINC to only use 6 CPUs to give the GPU app the CPU time they need or for other reasons? The app_config.xml setting <cpu_usage> does that as well. If you were to get a load of AP tasks currently your system would run 3 CPU tasks and 6 GPU tasks. Using a value like 0.335 with all 8 CPU cores enabled would give you 6 CPU & 6 GPU tasks all the time.

I have an Intel 4790 CPU (quad core, hyper threaded) so I figured 6 CPU tasks would leave me 1 core(2 threads) for using the computer.

I also have 3 GPUs, and figure 2 tasks per GPU were as much as they could handle (I dunno, maybe the R280x cards could handle more, but I haven't figured out how to differentiate from the older GPU)

On the 280X 3 instances are the best choice.
It can handle 4 but without any benefit.
I had a 7970 which is in principle the same GPU.
