1) Message boards : GPUs : Suspending GPU computation when computer is in use (by other user) (Message 50892) Posted 18 Oct 2013 by Mugurel Post: Hi I run lastest boinc (boinc_7.0.65_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) as normal user (not as user boinc). I uncheck "Use GPU while computer is in use". This works nicely when I am active at the keyboard and/or mouse. But as soon as another user logins at the computer the GPU will not suspend and the user will experience huge delays in oppening applications, mouse mouvement on the screen, etc. Why the GPU will not suspend? Is there another way to set up this? Thank you. Mugurel

2) Message boards : BOINC client : controling a project via app_info.xml (Message 37171) Posted 14 Mar 2011 by Mugurel Post: Hi, Can I limit a project (for example Aqua@home) via app_info.xml or any other xml file to use less than maximum number of cpu's available? I do not desire that aqua@home uses all 48 cores, because most of the time it will make most of the cpu's idle, while waiting for few cores that are still running another project tasks (like primegrid or rosetta, etc.) in "high priority" mode. At the moment I have to check the status every hour and click on aqua@home suspend and then resume. This will release the idle cpu's to run other tasks. I've tried to play with max_gfx_cpu_pct in account_aqua.dwavesys.com.xml and sched_reply_aqua.dwavesys.com.xml, but it gets rewritten. Any ideeas? Thank you, Ionel
