DISCLAIMER - I'm a BOINC newbie - Less than a week old. I want to try to use my Intel GPU with my (not gamer) nvidia. I have spent hours looking for an answer with no success. Up to this point, I have created a cc_config.xml that is being read with an error of "Unrecognized tag in cc_config.xml: <coproc>". Current nonworking file reads: <cc_config> <coproc> <type>intelgpu</type> <count>1</count> <device_nums>0 2</device_nums> [ <peak_flops>1e10</peak_flops> ] </coproc> </cc_config> I don't even know what some of this means. It's from an example I found. Is there some kind cruncher out there that can tell me exactly (don't leave me options...) what to type? Partial Event Log included (hope it helps). Thanks in advance!

DISCLAIMER - I'm a BOINC newbie - Less than a week old. You've already got it recognising the iGPU so all you need to do is attach to a project that supports them. Einstein do, not sure about Milkyway or Skynet pogs. SETI don't, they had an app being tested but it was withdrawn. If you have an up to date BOINC like the 7.2 series it should behave. You don't need the cc_config file at all. I'd suggest you get 7.2.11 which seems pretty stable. It's a beta test version. You can get all versions from here MarkJ ID: 50669 · |

If you want to learn how to use the cc_config.xml file, BOINC has a Wiki. Now, when I fill in boinc cc_config.xml into Google, the very first link brings me to http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Client_configuration. There you'll see that you were missing the <options></options> tags and that anything in square brackets is optional. XML language does not use square brackets [] for anything, only angle brackets <>. Also, the <coproc/> tag is used to specify which GPU you want to use at a specific project, and is only used in combination with the anonymous platform, or app_info.xml file. You're not using the anonymous platform at any of your projects, so you don't have to use the cc_config.xml file in this form. If, ever, one of your GPUs gets to be detected but shown 'Not used', then you do want to have a cc_config.xml file, with the following in it: <cc_config> <options> <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus> </options> </cc_config> Nothing more. Save that into the BOINC data directory (the hidden directory at C:\ProgramData\BOINC), and exit & restart BOINC to get it to be used. ID: 50670 · |

Sending THANKS to MarkJ and Ageless. Event log (now) shows no errors and I'm off to check out Einstein. If the gift is in the giving, you both helped! I can only hope my cycles of cpu time can contribute in some small way. ID: 50671 · |
