Having trouble getting BOINC to let me do 2 or 3 instances with this app.

It keeps running with (0.04CPUs + 1 Intel GPU)
=
<app_version>
<app_name>setiathome_v8</app_name>
<plan_class>opencl_intel_gpu_sah</plan_class>
<gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>0.04</cpu_usage>
</app_version>
=
Is this a syntax problem (in my app_config)?

Thanks in advance,
JBird

It helps keeping things in line, don't make a mix of options.

<app_config>
<app>
<name>setiathome_v8</name>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>0.04</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>
</app_config>

or

<app_config>
<app_version>
<app_name>setiathome_v8</app_name>
<plan_class>opencl_intel_gpu_sah</plan_class>
<avg_ncpus>0.04</avg_ncpus>
<ngpus>0.5</ngpus>
</app_version>
</app_config>

And else see https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=78929 or ask there further.

Thanks for that Jord
Gonna give it a whirl (the second one with <plan_class...>

I run all my discrete GPUs at 0.33 - cuda50 and opencl_nvidia_100 Astropulse7.10

But just turned on my iGD and "testing" the opencl_intel_gpu_sah app on the one machine that has iGD

I suppose I *could convert the discretes to 0.5 and use the first option you posted (that syntax *was my original app_config)

But the v8 launch/ transition seemed to warrant customization and specificity via other <tags> - I think I had chosen the wrong Mix ;)

So here's hoping... I'll let you know

Follow -

The tag syntax revision worked
That is, correcting <gpu_usage> with the <ngpus> and <ncpus> tags did the trick for me.
PS - the 0.5 for the intel version did not change the 0.33 config on the NVidia discretes

Thanks again
