Hi,

Is it possible to allocate a specific GPU to a particular project on a multi GPU system?

For example, I would like gpu0 to crunch all wu for gpugrid and gpu1 to crunch all wu for einstein@home.

Thanks

Stephen.

Think you can by using a combination of cc_config and app_config/app_info settings, these pieces of config suggest so.

<coproc>
<type>some_name</type>
<count>1</count>
<device_nums>0 2</device_nums>
[ <peak_flops>1e10</peak_flops> ]
[ <non_gpu/> ]
</coproc>

<exclude_gpu>
<url>project_URL</url>
[<device_num>N</device_num>]
[<type>NVIDIA|ATI|intel_gpu</type>]
[<app>appname</app>]
</exclude_gpu>
