I have two wishes.

1. I would like there to be a way of controlling GPU usage for GPU processing. There is none for the CUDA projects now. This should be used for OpenCL too once it becomes available.

2. Is it possible to have two processor usage settings for the option "While computer is in use" in the Preferences box. One for when the computer is in use (when you are using it) and another for a delay (when you are not using it).

I prefer to have BOINC running at low power when using my computer and at high power when I am not using it (at night).

Explain further? What do you want to control?
In the preferences of at least the Seti project, you have the choice to:
1. Only crunch GPU work, by setting preferences to use the GPU if available and disabling to use the CPU.
2. Use the GPU for calculations only when the system is idle. (which is on by default)

What else do you need?

No, this is not possible.

However, it appears that setting in the prefs for "While computer is in use" overrides the setting for "Use GPU while computer is in use":
The only time the GPU will do any work is when the CPUs are also doing work, otherwise all work units report 'suspended - user active' as soon as i move my mouse. I want to have the GPU always do work wheras my CPU rests until the user inactivity switch kicks in..

Ive tried editing the C:\ProgramData\BOINC\global_prefs_override.xml
<run_if_user_active>0</run_if_user_active>
<run_gpu_if_user_active>1</run_gpu_if_user_active>

I know how to do this since, i have also reinstated the boinc timout function <suspend_if_no_recent_input>144.0</suspend_if_no_recent_input> (which is not supported in the prefs gui) and figured out all the steps i need to do to get that to work just fine. I have also 'cleared' my prefs just to eliminate that variable and this problem still occurs, so it looks like to me that this function is broken (at least in my config).

I have Vista (64bit) and Boinc Manager version 6.6.20 (64bit)
