Message 49504 - Posted: 4 Jun 2013, 6:03:25 UTC

I am attempting to run SETI@HOME as a GPU only app.

setting computer prefs

"on multiprocessor systems, use at most [ ] % of the processors"

to 0.00 or 1.00 does NOT stop cpu usage.

Setting cc_config.xml <ncpus>0</ncpus> seems to have no affect.

There MUST be a thread somewhere that addresses this ... Any help appreciated.

Thanks

On your SETI@home preferences page - http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/prefs.php?subset=project - edit the second item to read:

Use CPU
Enforced by version 6.10+ no

Any CPU work you currently have will be completed, but your computer will stop fetching any new work for the CPU - then you'll be running GPU only as you wish.

Hummmmm

Then I need to know how to change my active prefs from "default" to say ... "work" so I can have a use gpu only set of prefs as well as a "normal" set of prefs.

Thanks again

Go to your account page http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/home.php

At 'Computers on this account' (middle of third group), click 'View'

On turn, for each computer that you want to configure, click 'details'

Scroll right down, almost to the bottom of the page. See Location: choose one, and click 'update'.
