1) Message boards : BOINC client : BOINC 7.0.40-42 and new app_config.xml (Message 47685) Posted 8 Feb 2013 by Jeff Post: Here is the cc_config.xml with no brackets: <cc_config> <log_flags> </log_flags> <options> <client_version_check_url>http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/download.php?xml=1</client_version_check_url> <client_download_url>http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/download.php</client_download_url> <network_test_url>http://www.ibm.com/</network_test_url> <start_delay>10</start_delay> <max_file_xfers>16</max_file_xfers> <max_file_xfers_per_project>16</max_file_xfers_per_project> <exclude_gpu> <url>http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org</url> <type>nvidia</type> </exclude_gpu> </options> </cc_config> Ok, I tried the above config and didn't get an error message about nvidia this time. Apparently reinstalling .44 fixed that part. Its still requesting nvidia task and running them. Any time frame on a fix for this?

3) Message boards : BOINC client : BOINC 7.0.40-42 and new app_config.xml (Message 47662) Posted 6 Feb 2013 by Jeff Post: Its in the cc_config exactly as shown. Which is what is on the wiki site for it. I don't get any red error messages and as shown in the log it says its excluding nvidia (see below). If I take the brackets off (what someone else gave me too) then I get the red error message saying it can't parse exclude command. I found it odd too but that what wiki says to do for the command now. Its in the middle of this page: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Client_configuration With bracket as shown I get this: 2/5/2013 7:44:37 PM \| World Community Grid \| Config: excluded GPU. Type: nvidia. App: all. Device: all But it asks for nvidia work and worse it does it, even stopping ATI work and running nvidia instead. I have a max of 6 set in the app_config file so sometimes it does a mix of some on ati and some on nvidia or sometimes just one or the other. Its leans heavily towards nvidia, especially in downloading because I guess no one does that. I got tired of aborting them so I switched back to 7.0.28 and using that app_info file it stops nvidia. I really like the newer versions and want to run them but until someone can come up with a solution its easier running the older version. If you got some ideas, I'll be more than happy to test them.
4) Message boards : BOINC client : BOINC 7.0.40-42 and new app_config.xml (Message 47651) Posted 6 Feb 2013 by Jeff Post: I can't figure out how to fix this problem. I have both a nvidia and ati/amd card and I have set cc_config to only allow ati to process HCC1 task but it keeps retrieving nvidia tasks, despite it being excluded (see log below). I am using 7.0.44 with the following configs: app_config.xml: (only revelant section shown) <app> <name>hcc1</name> <max_concurrent>6</max_concurrent> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>0.166</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>0.334</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> cc_config.xml: (only revelant section shown) <exclude_gpu> <url>http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org</url> [<type>nvidia</type>] </exclude_gpu> LOG: 2/5/2013 7:44:37 PM \| World Community Grid \| Config: excluded GPU. Type: nvidia. App: all. Device: all Despite those configs its keeps asking for nvidia and ati task. 2/5/2013 7:45:11 PM \| World Community Grid \| Requesting new tasks for CPU and NVIDIA and ATI I only want ATI and CPU tasks yet it keeps asking for nvidia so is there a way to specifiy in the app_config.xml file to get only ATI tasks like we used to in app_info.xml?

6) Message boards : Questions and problems : Custom 2 core vs 4 core option? (Message 45965) Posted 13 Oct 2012 by Jeff Post: If there a way to setup BOINC to run 4 cores when pc isn't being used and only 1-3 cores when I am using it? I am tired of switching it back and forth manually. thanks!
7) Message boards : GPUs : 2 GPUs, want to use one all the time and the other when not in use (Message 44604) Posted 22 Jun 2012 by Jeff Post: I have two videos cards: GTX 670 and an HD4850. I want to use the HD4850 for Boinc all the time and the GTX670 only when I am not using to play games. How can I configure this? Thanks! Jeff
