I'd like BOINC to run 10 tasks concurrently, i.e. 2 GPUGRID, 4 ATLAS, 4 World Community Grid.
----------------------------------------What concerns GPUGRID, with my 2 GPUs, this is automatically limited to 2 tasks To limit ATLAS to max. 4 tasks, I added a short app.config.xml into the ATLAS project folder: <app_config> <app> <name>ATLAS</name> <max_concurrent>4</max_concurrent> </app> </app_config> I now tried the same for WCG (replacing "ATLAS" with "wcgrid"), but it did not work. The BOINC event log said the following: 17/04/2016 17:51:09 | World Community Grid | Your app_config.xml file refers to an unknown application 'wcgrid'. Known applications: 'mcm1', 'ugm1', 'fahb' That's what I was afraid of. Anyone any idea what a config_app.xml would have to look like in order to achieve a maximum of 4 WCG tasks (whichever these are) running? The ressource share thing does not help in this case, as there are other parameters to this too, like deadline etc. [Edit 1 times, last edit by erich56 at Apr 17, 2016 4:52:56 PM] |

The opening tag says <app> and the next tag says <name> i.e app name of the application. The convention is to enter those in small. If wrongly entered the message log will spit an error.

Think your needed answer was given by Juha at Berkeley if you want it WCG wide, something like <project_max_concurrent>4</project_max_concurrent>.
These forums are overflowing with app_config.xml. examples and discussions. |

Think your needed answer was given by Juha at Berkeley if you want it WCG wide, something like <project_max_concurrent>4</project_max_concurrent>. this did not work, unfortunately. I adapted the app_config.xml as follows: <app_config> <project> <name>wcgrid</name> <project_max_concurrent>4</project_max_concurrent> </project> </app_config> The BOINC event log says: unknown tag in app_config.xml: project Since I am not an app designer, I have no idea at all how such an app should look like. Sould someone give me assistance, please? |
