Hi!

I would like to know how can I tell BOINC to use my GPU only for several days in a week, and exact time on those days. (e.g. only on Tuesdays through Fridays, from 10 AM to 3:15 PM)

I know there's an option in BOINC preferences, but that is applied to both CPU and GPU tasks. And I need this only for GPU.

There is no such option available in BOINC at this time.

Don't know if this will help in your situation, but BOINC does support suspending use of just the GPU when specific applications are running.

You do this by editing BOINC's "cc_config.xml" file.

Details are here: http://boinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/wiki/Client_configuration

Look for "<exclusive_gpu_app>important.exe</exclusive_gpu_app>" in the 'Options' setction.
