Hey. I'll have a little system with 3 GPUs, and would like Seti to only run on two of them - and have a other project use the last one, so no <Ignore_nvidia_dev>x in Boinc CC_Config.xml here. Is there a switch in the CC_Config.xml that I'll can use to tell Boinc to let Seti use GPU 1 and 2, and let GPU 0 be used in the last project? Or is that done in a project file somewhere? Michael. |

There is this for cc_config: <exclude_gpu> |

There is this for cc_config: I think you would need the <exclude_gpu> and the <url> and <device_num> to exclude that GPU you don't want used for seti. You will also need to do that for the project you want on the 3rd GPU but in reverse order...ie,tell BOINC you don't want GPU 1, 2 to run the other project. But here's the catch... The device number may not be the order in which your GPUs are lined up on your motherboard. BOINC has a weird way of deciding which device is which. And that order will change every time you restart or shutdown your computer. It will not make a difference if all 3 GPUs are the same since it will just randomly just not use 1 GPU leaving it for the other project. And as Harri has stated, this will need to be in the cc_config.xml Good luck |
