Hallo, hab nicht so viel Ahnung vom Programmieren und kanns auch schlecht

umschreiben.

Hab hier für den BOINC Client eine Konfig-Datei erstellt: cc_config.xml

Inhalt:

<cc_config>
<log_flags>
</log_flags>
<options>
<use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>
<report_results_immediately>1</report_results_immediately>
<exclude_gpu>
<url>http://www.gpugrid.net</url>
<device_num>1</device_num>
<type>nvidia</type>
</exclude_gpu>
</options>
</cc_config>

----------------

Ich wollte daß bei einem bestimmten Projekt die zweite Grafikkarte nicht für

GPUGRID verwendet wird, der bringt immer einen Berechnungsfehler und das Workunit ist verloren und muss neu downgeloadet werden. Was mache ich nur falsch.

Boinc CLient Version 6.13.1

Kann mir jemand helfen ?

Gruß

Still can´t exclude GPU no.1 (0/1) from GPU Grid.

Tryed this:

<cc_config>
<log_flags>
</log_flags>
<options>
<use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>
<exclude_gpu>
<url>http://www.gpugrid.net</url>
<device_num>1</device_num>
<type>nvidia</type>
<app>acemdlong_6.15_windows_intelx86__cuda31</app>
</exclude_gpu>
<exclude_gpu>
<url>http://www.gpugrid.net</url>
<device_num>1</device_num>
<type>nvidia</type>
<app>acemd2_6.15_windows_intelx86__cuda31</app>
</exclude_gpu>

</options>
</cc_config>

What do I wrong ? PLZ Help !

You have only 1 GPU on your computer so it is named "GPU 0". So instead of "<device_num>1</device_num>" you should use "<device_num>0</device_num>", I think.

nope, got a tripple SLI Board.

GPU1 is 8600 GT (slow) if it runs for gpugrid wu fails
GPU0 ist 460GTX (run on gpugrid allmost perfect)

any ideas ?

I think I got the wrong appnames to stop computing the 8600GT from gpugrid.

You don't have to specify the app, you can just give the project URL and then the GPU is excluded from GPUgrid all together.

Having said that it doesn't work anyway. We are waiting on another build. 6.13.2 or later may fix it.

I think Boinc 6.10.x only used the most powerful GPU by default.
So if you just want to use your GTX460 and not use the 8600 card at all, for any project, then uninstall Boinc and all associated files, and do a clean install of 6.10.x. That way your system would only use the more powerful GTX460.

On the other hand if you are trying to use the 8600 elsewhere, as well as the GTX460 here, you can't; <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus> is either yes or no (1 or 0). As it's a cc_config file it applies to all projects, and as MarkJ said <exclude_gpu> does not work.

<exclude_gpu>
<url>project_URL</url> &/or <app>appname</app>
<device_num>N</device_num>
</exclude_gpu>

Actually he does not need to go backwards in boinc version

What you want is the ignore gpu function. Replace 9 with the device number 0,1,2,etc as reported in boinc manager.

<ignore_ati_dev>9</ignore_ati_dev>
<!-- ignore (don't use) a specific ATI GPU. You can ignore more than one. -->
<!-- New in 6.10.19 -->

<ignore_nvidia_dev>9</ignore_nvidia_dev>
<!-- ignore (don't use) a specific NVIDIA GPU. You can ignore more than one. -->
<!-- New in 6.10.19 -->

That is the best you can do now, or just stop running GPUgrid altogether until the exclude_gpu function is finished and run all your gpus on another project that supports all your gpus fast and slow.

The new exclude_gpu function is not working yet as MarkJ pointed out, it MAY be working in 6.13.2 which has not been released nor tested yet.

In future versions, when this new function is working, you will be able to still run a project, like gpugrid on your fast gpu, but exclude it from your slower gpu but still allowing the slower gpu to krunch and run other projects it is capable of.

So i tried to exclude the gpu by apps names, it don´t work.

I deciede to remove the GPU from the pc.

Seeya ,thx.

I deciede to remove the GPU from the pc.

Which GPU did you remove, your GTX460 or your 8600?

The slower one.
