Re: Split Aids apps

But if you want to change some preferences, here is how you can use app_config.xml

<app_config>
<app>
<name>mcm1</name>
<user_friendly_name>Mapping Cancer Markers</user_friendly_name>
<max_instances>3</max_instances>
</app>
<app>
<name>cep2</name>
<user_friendly_name>The Clean Energy Project - Phase 2</user_friendly_name>
<max_instances>3</max_instances>
</app>
<app>
<name>fahv</name>
<user_friendly_name>FightAIDS@Home - Vina</user_friendly_name>
<max_instances>3</max_instances>
</app>
<app>
<name>faah</name>
<user_friendly_name>FightAIDS@Home - AutoDock</user_friendly_name>
<max_instances>3</max_instances>
</app>
<app>
<name>ugm1</name>
<user_friendly_name>Uncovering Genome Mysteries</user_friendly_name>
<max_instances>3</max_instances>
</app>
</app_config>


It's written for my quad-core CPU...so that at every point I crunch 2 different projects! ;)

Play with it a little...

Re: Split Aids apps

Are you sure the tags are right ;? Manual here http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Cc_config.xml where you need to go down to the application configuration section.

Edit: Invalid tags are ignored!

Re: Split Aids apps

Just noticed that the function changed...here it is:

<app_config>
<app>
<name>mcm1</name>
<user_friendly_name>Mapping Cancer Markers</user_friendly_name>
<max_concurrent>3</max_concurrent>
</app>
<app>
<name>cep2</name>
<user_friendly_name>The Clean Energy Project - Phase 2</user_friendly_name>
<max_concurrent>1</max_concurrent>
</app>
<app>
<name>fahv</name>
<user_friendly_name>FightAIDS@Home - Vina</user_friendly_name>
<max_concurrent>3</max_concurrent>
</app>
<app>
<name>faah</name>
<user_friendly_name>FightAIDS@Home - AutoDock</user_friendly_name>
<max_concurrent>1</max_concurrent>
</app>
<app>
<name>ugm1</name>
<user_friendly_name>Uncovering Genome Mysteries</user_friendly_name>
<max_concurrent>3</max_concurrent>
</app>
</app_config>


it works now...at least for me & my: 3x MCM & 1xUGM on a quad-core!
don't know how to make "faah" noticeable in app_config...if someone has an idea? :/

Re: Split Aids apps

1) The user_friendly tag has no function,
2) The app shortnames you find in the client_state.xml
3) fa@h apps are specified with fahv for the AD Vina and faah for the Autodock.
4) The only real 'warning' you get in the event log if something is wrong is if an app is specified, but no copy of the app is present in the project folder. It's a warning that fixes itself once the first task has been fetched of the respective science.
5) In addition to the max_concurrent tag per-app, there's now also a <project_max_concurrent> tag which allows you to overall limit the number, so you can say on an octo for instance 4 for WCG and 4 for Abacus.

There is -no- feedback to the server what's specified on the client in terms of what and how many you want run concurrent. App_config is a stop_gap solution to allow a higher number to buffer of e.g. CEP2, yet run a few to promote a seamless processing.

Re: Split Aids apps

BTW, you must have had some private build as <max_instances> never was a valid app_config tag. Maybe it was for app_info?
