1) Message boards : GPUs : Individual preferences for 2 GPUs

Posted 26 Feb 2016 by Erik Raettig
I have 2 GPUs. One has no monitor and may run BOINC all the time. The other is connected to my two monitors and I would like it to not run when user active.

I tried setting computing preference to run GPU always and then put the following in the account xml file for the project I want to only run when user not active. But this does not seem to work. The project runs all the time.

<project_preferences>

<resource_share>10</resource_share>
<no_cpu>1</no_cpu>
<no_ati>1</no_ati>
<no_cuda>0</no_cuda>
<run_gpu_if_user_active>0</run_gpu_if_user_active>
<idle_time_to_run>1</idle_time_to_run>
