I have a 1050 and 1080. I am not sure which one the new ATMML tasks are running maybe both.

Which kind of file do I write to exclude the 1050? app_config or cc_config?

But a sub question. Will ATMML run on a 1050 ok or would the 1080 be better or does it make a difference? I am wondering if the stall in processing is related to the GPU's or to the application?

You need to add this to your cc.cong.xml file

<cc_config>

<options>


<exclude_gpu>
<url>https://www.gpugrid.net/</url>
<device_num>1</device_num>
</exclude_gpu>
<exclude_gpu>
<url>https://gerasim.boinc.ru/</url>
<device_num>1</device_num>
</exclude_gpu>


</options>
</cc_config>

I added the 2nd exclude project so you can see how it's done, you can of course delete that. ALSO pay attention to the <device_number> line as if you get it wrong you will be excluding the wrong gpu. When Boinc first starts up it lists all the gpu's in your pc by number and in numerical order, if you haven't restarted Boinc in awhile you could do that or look in other places depending on your OS.

LOL I figured you would but I left it in there just in case you ever needed it.
I have one pc with 2 gpu's with the first one not having any video ports so the 2nd one I use only for showing the screen, so lots of Projects are excluded. I'm glad it's working for you!!

something different, can you run 2 projects on the same GPU?
I think my 1080 can take more from the looks of the process graphs
Windows shows only 2% with moo! Wrapper and Folding@Home (non Boinc)
If I have that kind of space left, I might as well load it up.

Sure, why not. I have 3 gpu projects running on my gpus. Just two tasks per gpu though. Asteroids, Numberfields and Einstein. All projects set for 1 cpu / 0.5 gpu. The projects just take their turn with all at the same 100 resource share.

As long as your combined projects don't overtax the VRAM on the card you are good to go.
