If it helps, I cross-referenced my recent inconclusives with the list posted earlier and these three are candidates all running RX 5700 hosts that are not yet listed:

So it seems that the clock screensaver does not cause any throttling and should be better for the display too. Seems like a good compromise.

Gotcha.

Well, isn't that referring to a project application, not a program? Unless I'm confusing something here...

What I would like to have BOINC do is this:

    there's GPU 0 and GPU 1, both running by default for all projects
    I run program_A.exe
    GPU 0 is suspended, GPU 1 keeps working, for all projects



I want to be able to be selective about GPUs when it comes to exclusive programs, in a nutshell.

I know there's an option to exclude GPU computing for defined executables, as well as excluding specific GPUs from specific projects, but how about telling BOINC to suspend a specific GPU when a specific program is running (leaving the other active)? I have two GPUs and would like to have the better/main one stop crunching when I'm gaming, but leave the weaker one active.

Is there some config file magic that accomplishes this?

Yeah, I've been considering CyanogenMod for the tablet. I also have a Motorola XT1068 with an up-to-date Android version and it doesn't appear to throttle.

Thanks, I'll try that.

Just did another check with another task and it's the same performance ratio.

Yes, it was the same task.

I have a tablet (Quanta Gigaset QV830 - SDK:17 ABI: armeabi-v7a) running Android 4.2.2 and crunching on all 4 cores 24/7 and recently I noticed that computation appears to be considerably slower whenever the screen is turned off (in ~half an hour a task progressed by about 0.3 % with screen off and 1,3 % with screen on, it was connected to a power supply in both instances). Is this because the tablet goes into some kind of power saving mode whenever the screen is turned off, throttling the processor (it's not "going to sleep", though)? Or something to do with the BOINC app (7.4.53) or something (the event log doesn't show anything to that effect)? I enabled to always have the screen on through the developer options, but I would of course prefer otherwise for obvious reasons.

I searched BOINC projects as a whole for someone else with this problem, but all I could find is people wanting to get rid of sleep mode (though mine's not doing that) or keeping the screen on indefinitely (which I know how to do).

Any input appreciated.

So this GPU doesn't support OpenCL, which is required to do crunching for SETI@Home (or so I've read). I checked this list for other potential projects, but all of the ATI/AMD-compatible ones seem to require OpenCL as well.

Are there any other BOINC projects that can still make use of it?

I hope I didn't miss any stickied thread that would be more appropriate for this kind of inquiry. There was an older thread with a somewhat similar question, but it was locked. Sorry if I messed up.

Thanks.
