No, it's a CPU-only project.

You can always look up that sort of thing by checking the project's Applications page. The message boards suggest they've tried playing with a CUDA app, but haven't got it working yet.

I was looking for a project to run when seti runs out of work I noticed cuda threads and something about a cuda app. I have only 142 seti mb task left and it is draining fast. When it has drained I might switch offer until seti fills up.

projects are a matter of personal preference. Currently, I run Seti, Enigma, Milkyway, Poem(on my ATI card only), and LHC when it has work.

Like a few members of my team I decided on a specific goal for a project. Some chose 10k some 1 million credits. I decided on 1 Million for GPU projects and 100K on all others. All the while still running Seti

If you are looking to run a GPU app See here for at least a partial listing of projects.

Poem@home does support GPU crunching now. you'd need to adjust your CPU crunching to allow 1 core to be used by the GPU to load. WU's that don't have a free core can take 20+ hours. With a free core can finish in 45-80 minutes on a fast GPU. IF you choose Poem I'd recommend using the app_info that can be found on their forums. It allows you to run up to 5 WU's at once. Unfortunately, the Project has a load of users and typically I can't get more than 3 to run at a time.

I have decided to join Enigma@Home and I noticed a 50% share and I suspend Enigma@Home so I can run seti and not run Enigma only when seti is out of work. Will this setting affect seti. I Have 137 wu left in seti and then switch over to Enigma when seti is dry. Is that configured right?

If you leave Enigma at No new tasks you are fine. Then if seti runs out you just allow new tasks and you are in business.

Set Enigma@home to 0% resource share and BOINC will only get work from it when Seti runs dry.

Where do I set 0% resource share at?

Enigma@home => account => project preferences => edit => at top should have a box with the number 100 in it, put 0 and save (thats the way to do all the others, should be the same for enigma)

Thanks done
