I made some headway. By putting a <plan_class> in the opencl app section it suddenly started running both apps. However now it only runs one opencl app and not two as specified by

<app_config>
<app_version>
<app_name>setiathome_v8</app_name>
<ngpus>0.5</ngpus>
<ncpus>0.5</ncpus> <<----- (Check Syntax... I'm NOT 100% sure of "ncpus" as I've written it. BUT, you MUST have this Line in there to allow One Full Thread,(0.5 + 0.5), to feed the GPU 2 Units at a time.)
</app_version>
</app_config>

That part was working correctly before. I picked a plan_class based on guesswork, what plan_class should I use for opencl compiled for Radeon ROCm? This is my current app_info:

<app_info>
<app>
<name>setiathome_v8</name>
</app>

<file_info>
<name>setiathome_8.18_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu</name>
<executable/>
</file_info>

<file_info>
<name>setiathome_8.00_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu</name>
<executable/>
</file_info>

<app_version>
<app_name>setiathome_v8</app_name>
<platform>x86_64-pc-linux-gnu</platform>
<version_num>800</version_num>
<file_ref>
<file_name>setiathome_8.00_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu</file_name>
<main_program/>
</file_ref>
</app_version>

<app_version>
<app_name>setiathome_v8</app_name>
<version_num>818</version_num>
<cmdline></cmdline>
<coproc>
<type>ATI</type>
<count>1</count>
</coproc>
<plan_class>opencl_ati_linux_cat132</plan_class>
<flops>8.6e12</flops>
<avg_ncpus>0.2</avg_ncpus>
<max_ncpus>0.5</max_ncpus>
<file_ref>
<file_name>setiathome_8.18_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu</file_name>
<main_program/>
</file_ref>
</app_version>
</app_info>


[EDIT:]

See my Edit in your app_config coding. Someone with more knowledge than I can make applicable corrections.

<avg_ncpus>1.0</avg_ncpus>
<ngpus>1.0</ngpus>

Is the right syntax


Change the 1.0 in the ngpus line for whatever you try to run. 0.5 for 2 instances, 0.33 for 3, etc.

But be aware:

In windows few GPU's runs faster with more than 2 WU at a time.

With Linux special sauce builds run only 1 WU at a time.
