Hi guys, sorry to bug you with my questions.
I recently lost a harddisk (happens) but I was on top of it and lost nothing important... But it was my WCG harddisk and I lost my cc_config.xml file! I have two vidcards, both nVidia (one is for PhysX when gaming). CUDA: NVIDIA GPU 0 and CUDA: NVIDIA GPU 1 GPU 0 is a 256-bit GTX 460 1024MB - my primary vidcard. GPU 1 is an older GeForce GT 240 When I enable my vidcards for WCG, it jumps on the GTX 460. But I want it to use only the GT 240... My cc_config.xml used to direct WCG to use both vidcards, and then to not use GPU 0 (sounds strange, but that was the gig). And I'm sorry - I think it was in 2011 I sorted it - but I can't remember exactly how the cc_config.xml file went! My current BOINC WCG has no cc_config.xml at all... I wish I could sort this myself but I can't locate any cc_config.xml resources. Any help would be appreciated, Regards |

It is a non-problem at this time as WCG has no GPGPU work, which then begs the question what work is jumping onto your 240.

If this is a Boinc question rather than a WCG question then
----------------------------------------<use_all_gpus>0|1</use_all_gpus> If 1, use all GPUs (otherwise only the most capable ones are used). and <exclude_gpu> Don't use the given GPU for the given project. If <device_num> is not specified, exclude all GPUs of the given type. <type> is required if your computer has more than one type of GPU; otherwise it can be omitted. <app> specifies the short name of an application (i.e. the <name> element within the <app> element in client_state.xml). If specified, only tasks for that app are excluded. You may include multiple <exclude_gpu> elements. If you change GPU exclusions, you must restart the BOINC client for these changes to take effect. <exclude_gpu> <url>project_URL</url> [<device_num>N</device_num>] [<type>NVIDIA|ATI|intel_gpu</type>] [<app>appname</app>] </exclude_gpu> from this page: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/client_configuration  |

WCG has no GPGPU work I know - so it's certainly not 'urgent' heheh... But it's a loose-end for me and I need to get that cc_config.xml back in place again. Who knows what tomorrow will bring? |

If this is a Boinc question rather than a WCG question then from this page: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/client_configuration Thanks OldChap - yeah it's a BOINC thing of course, no wonder I'm not finding the 'help' I remember, not here on WCG! I remember it was deceptively simple: use_all_gpus and then exclude_gpu 0 Only a couple of lines... But the format, the exact syntax I couldn't remember. I could almost re-do it from your help, but I'll go to that BOINC link you kindly gave me and make sure I'm 100%. Hey thanks again... L8R |

This is nastier than I remember...
----------------------------------------Here's what I've got (final): <cc_config> <options> <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus> <exclude_gpu> <url>http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/</url> <device_num>0</device_num> </exclude_gpu> </options> </cc_config> Bee-yootiful.  Thanks again. [Edit 2 times, last edit by Former Member at Apr 28, 2015 2:25:45 AM] |
