I looked high an low for a better place to put this, and didn't find one, so here goes. I am about to purchase a second video card for my desktop system that will be dedicated to mining/researching/processing math-intensive work. What I don't see as a feature of the BOINC Manager is a way to configure settings per CPU/GPU. Basically, what I'd like to do is turn off all processing for the CPU and internal GPU and dedicate processing to 50% of the first PCI card and 100% of the second. More fine tuning of the management client is what I'm after here. Any work being done along these lines? |

Try looking at https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Client_configuration and seeing if what you want to do can be done with the option switches. |

You already have that control in the Project Preferences for every project. You can toggle off both CPU processing and Intel on-board graphics processing. The second part of your request is not possible at this time even with deploying client configuration options. It's all or nothing for work performed on a gpu. You can restrict a gpu to specific projects or applications however through client configuration which might satisfy your desires. |
